It's lit: A showstopping 25,000-light Christmas village opens in Quebec

A charming area of Drummondville is turning into a Christmas village, decked out in thousands of lights — 25,000 of them, to be exact.

Le Village illuminé Desjardins kicked off on December 3 and will return this weekend before welcoming guests every day from December 16 to January 2 (excluding December 25 and January 1).
