Brookgreen Gardens' Nights of a Thousand Candles was recently included in U.S. News and World Report’s list of the 23 Best Christmas Light Displays in the U.S.
The perioidical had the following to say about the display:
“Brookgreen Gardens’ name for its wintertime event does not do it justice: The Nights of a Thousand Candles display actually includes 2,700-plus real candles in addition to strung electric lights. Make a full evening at the gardens by enjoying dinner at one of the on-site dining venues before grabbing a hot drink at a beverage station to keep you warm as you stroll. There is also live music every night. Multiple visitors applaud Brookgreen Gardens’ display and particularly enjoyed seeing the oak trees aglow with cascading lights.”

Held on select nights between November 26th, 2022 through January 1st, 2023, Nights of a Thousand Candles includes millions of lights draped among the landscapes and large sculptures of Brookgreen's botanical gardens. You can learn more here.
