Those living in Jefferson Township in Morris County, New Jersey can enjoy an annual bus trip to view the Christmas Spectacular. Taking place in early November of each year, the tickets are around $70 in 2011, and include travel by deluxe motor coach, reserved orchestra seating for the performance, and a popcorn and drink voucher at the show.

In 2010, the Edison Recreation Department offered a bus trip to see the Christmas Spectacular. To attend, tickets were $65 and space was limited to parents and children. The price included bus fare, orchestra seating for the morning show, and four hours of free time. Due to the popularity of this event, it will likely repeat in coming years.
