Northern lights are one of the awe-inspiring scenes found anywhere in the world. If you choose to drive in Ireland in December through remote and exotic, the Aurora Borealis is not a thing to miss.

There are some places in Ireland in December where the literal magic happens during the winter solstice. Witness the 5000-year-old light show in Newgrange in the county of Meath Bru Na Boinne. Here, only some lucky individuals are selected through the lottery to be given a ticket to visit the burial mound, where this magical light show happens. Or visit Baghmore in the county of Tyrone during sunrise to see the sun align with the stone rows.<\/p>\n

Panto or Pantomime, which is a common form of theatre in Ireland, can be seen at The Gaiety Theatre every year at the time of Christmas and New Year. Traditionally performed during Christmas and New Year in front of an audience mainly consisting of parents and children, this theatre form involves singing, dancing, buffoonery, in-jokes, and even mild sexual content. A number of traditional storylines and previously well-defined sets of performances happen.<\/p>\n
