Thank you everyone for taking the time to watch this video. Longwood Gardens is the best Christmas display I have ever seen. There is also some amazing history about this property. The Lenape Indians used to live on this land. Several of their artifacts have been found on the property. In 1700 it was purchased from William Penn’s commissioners. Slaves that escaped from the South used the property as part of the Underground Railroad. In 1906 the property was purchased by a member of the DuPont family in an attempt to save the trees there. The transaction was managed by the countries first woman lawyer. Wow, that’s a whole lot of awesome history. Enjoy the video. Happy holidays. 👍
Thank you. This was my first time here. Gen was excited to show this place to me. Everything was so beautiful. It was the best Christmas display I have ever seen. Merry Christmas.🎄🎁
Well they say everything is bigger in America and this is certainly the biggest christmas display I've ever seen! Great editing and music choice, really fitted the theme well. Even the fountains seemed to be in time with the music. Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year to you and yours Craig!
Thank you very much. We also have a saying here that everything is bigger in Texas. However, this is the biggest and best Christmas display we have ever seen too. I hope you have a great new year too.
WOW!!! Sooo magical! Thank you for taking us along with you to see the beautiful, amazing display of lights! That must have taken forever to put up ALL those lights & decorations! Its like a magical winter wonderland without the snow. Lol! Thank you for sharing this with us! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & hope you have a very Happy New Year!!!
Thank you very much. This place was amazing. We were saying the same thing about how long it must have taken to set up all the lights. I don’t know how they reached some of the difficult areas in the trees. Even if they used a ladder or crane it had to be hard. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well, and will have a great new year.
@@candi_7this was my first time there so I can’t compare it to any other time. Gen had been there a few times, and really wanted to show this place to me. Have a great day.
@@CraigKoppel Wow! Wish I would have seen this a couple days or so ago. It just really got me in the Christmas spirit watching you 2 walk through such a magical display of lights & nature. But I guess its still "Christmas time"! Always nice to meet another neighbor in PA(although I'm on the west side). lol! Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much. This was my first time here and probably the best Christmas display I have ever seen. I enjoyed filming this. Merry Christmas to you too. 🎄🎁
Longwood Gardens is such an amazing place. Enjoyed watching this - you really did a fantastic job of capturing all the little details of the holiday displays. Your footage turned out great even while filming at night. Merry Christmas.
Thank you. This was my first time here. Gen was very excited to show me around. I’m happy with the way the night filming turned out with the exception of a few shots. The whole video was filmed on my iPhone with the exception of the first shot of us in the car. This place was amazing. Merry Christmas to the hikingoutdoorfamily. 🎄🎁
Thank you. I appreciate it. This was amazing to see in person. Also, I did not forget about your shoutout. I didn’t know where to put it in here. I’m planning on doing it in my next video even though I don’t know where it will be yet. Happy holidays to you too.
What a magical feeling to be strolling down and seeing how each trees are decorated! I love that the display is right in the garden. The lights bring out the vibrant colors of the plants even more and makes it look even more festive! I love that the display extends outdoors and you can see the reflections off the water. Beautiful, beautiful video! Subscribed and liked!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support. This place was so very beautiful. It’s one of a kind. Everything came out much better than I expected. Happy holidays to you.

Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed the Christmas display. It’s by far the best I’ve ever seen. Hope you had a great holiday too. Here’s to 2024.
Hello guys this is an amazing place and the lights were stunning. I loved the light show with the fountains and the tunnel of lights was spectacular. It hurts burning your tongue on a hot drink lol😅 I know that feeling. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Thank you Nicole. This place was amazing. It’s one of a kind. There were a few different light tunnels here. My favorite was the one in the thumbnail. My tongue is all healed up. Merry Christmas to you two too. 🎄🎁🎅
Thanks Ronald. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a nice comment. This is the best Christmas display I have ever seen. There is also so much history here at Longwood Gardens. It’s over 1000 acres. Lenape Indian artifacts are found on the property. William Penn had something to do with its sale back in 1700’s. The country’s first woman lawyer was the one who managed the selling and buying of this place. It was used in the underground railroad for escaped slaves. And finally it was purchased by the DuPont family. Happy holidays.
Thank you Aldo. This was my first time there and I was really impressed with the place. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day. 👍
Wow, wow 😮🤩 Longwood Gardens Enchanted Christmas is amazing. I loved the lights by the boardwalk and the lights that followed the root system by the tree. Is this near Pittsburgh? If so, my nephew moved there recently and we will have to visit him around Christmastime to see this display. Music was very fitting and magical. Merry Christmas you two! 🎄✨
Thank you. I also have been saying The orange pumpkin looking lights by the boardwalk were one of my favorites too. This is closer to Philadelphia. I’ve only been near Pittsburgh once. It’s pretty far away. I totally forgot that you told me once before that your nephew lived in PA. They do a display like this every year. Merry Christmas to you two too.
SHARON SHNEYER, Hi Craig, glad I discovered your channel. I'm in Philadelphia, and many years ago our public transit agency, Septa used to have "Rambles", where they would take you to a place and leave you there for a few hours. I have such fond memories of Longwood at Christmas time, and the conservatory with poinsettias in every color. The laws changed long ago, so no more trips to Longwood. It's a shame that there can't be some sort of shuttle service from the Wilmington Amtrak station (has commuter rail as well) at least during the holiday time, even if you have to pay a fee.
Hi Sharon. Those are definitely nice memories. This was my first time here. Gen has been here a few times and wanted to take me. She’s the other one in the video. We both love it here now. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Especially a nice personal one experienced many years ago. I hope you had a nice Christmas. Have a great day.
WOW! That was a cinematic experience! I've been to Longwood Gardens once, an ex wanted to go there, but never at Christmas time. I'll have to make it a priority to take my lovely wife down here once she arrives in America. I hope you and your lady friend had a wonderful Christmas.
Thanks Ron. This was my first time here. Gen has been here a few times. It’s the best Christmas display we have both ever seen. I’m sure your wife would love it too. Hopefully, she gets to come over here soon and you have a great 2024.
Thank you. This is the best Christmas display I have ever seen. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Merry Christmas Stephenson Greco Family. 🎄🎁🎅
Thank you. This was my first time here. Gen has been a few times and wanted to show me. It’s the best Christmas display I have ever seen. We live about an hour north of Philadelphia. We have a few other RU-vid videos together. Others are in the works. I appreciate you leaving a nice comment. Have a great day.
Magical Christmas vibes ,beautiful displays that you have filmed excellently.Interesting background history on your pinned comment .Thanks guys for taking us along to see such incredible manmade creations.Happy New Year to both and cheers🎉🥂
What an enchanted Christmas Display in the Longwood Gardens! We loved the fantastic Christmas lightings and decorations so much! Thank you so much for taking us along! Merry Christmas!
Thank you. I bet the full moon looked amazing with all the lights. Wasn’t this place great? It was my first time there. It was the best Christmas display I have ever seen. Happy new year.
My wife and I went out and about looking at Christmas lights. We came home to put The Koppel's Christmas Show at Longwood Gardens. Your show was fantastic on our television. Excellent. Where are you choosing your music? And how did you choose your selection? Very professional. Thanks very much.
Thank you very much John. I’m very pleased with the way this turned out. I get all my music from epidemic sound. The second half of the video isn’t even Christmas music but it fits well and sounds like it is. I choose my music by listening to different songs and save some that I like for possible future use. I also make sure that scenes are cut to the music beat and they both flow smoothly together. Happy holidays.
That’s a magnificent video highlighted with top notch photography. I can’t even begin to imagine the time, planning and work that went into this massive display. Absolutely beautiful and highlighted by an expert cameraman.
After leaving this glowing comment, I came across another comment where you mentioned that you mostly used your iPhone to record this amazing video. Did you also have a tripod or was it a steady hand? I have the iPhone 13 and never would have imagined it’s capable but of course, it’s your professional background that made it possible! I’m awestruck!
Thank you. I appreciate the wonderful comment. We said the same thing about the time it must have taken to display all these lights. I’m sure they had a large crew to do it. I still couldn’t figure out how they got the lights on parts of those trees. It would even be difficult with a ladder or a crane. Have a great 2024.
That is true. I used my iPhone 15 pro max to record everything except the very first shot in the car. That was done on a GoPro on a tripod. Aside from the first shot, everything was handheld. I think I asked someone to record me and my girlfriend only twice. The iPhone 13 is still a great phone. It has an excellent camera like most smartphones today. I’m not an expert and I don’t have a professional background in this. I just try to put out the best content I possibly can. Also, I work with a bunch of guys that can be ruthless at times. I knew I needed to put out good content or I’d be the butt of so many jokes from them. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave two awesome comments. Have a great day.
@melclo3641... May I suggest taking a trip to your local mall and watching this beautiful video with the sound turned off? Problem solved! You're welcome. 😃
