The Mesa Arizona Temple Christmas Lights event, running from Nov. 28 to Dec. 30, 2025, transforms the temple grounds at 455 E. Main St., Mesa, AZ, into a stunning display with hundreds of thousands of lights from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. nightly. Free and open to all, it features vibrant lights on palm trees, citrus, cacti, and more, alongside 10 biblical vignettes depicting the Christmas story, complete with QR codes for additional content. This 45-year tradition is supported by thousands of local community volunteers.
