It's hard for a lot of people over the age of six to get excited for a drive around the neighborhood to check out Christmas lights. Believe it or not, some of us would rather just stay at home. But for those who have lost their holiday spirit, the Tacky Light Tour is happy to lift it up. Starting at a hosting dispensary, riders will get exclusive shopping deals before hopping on a pot-friendly party bus to ride around and see Denver's best light decorations. And did we mention a professional comedian will be joining you the whole time?
