Just when you think you've seen it all in the way of Christmas lights, a video like this one comes along — and it's just incredible! Watch what happens when unsuspecting New Yorkers find a seven-foot-tall, mysterious red light switch in the middle of a city park. Thanks to the folks at Improv Everywhere, the results were simply magical.
To celebrate the holiday season, one flick of the light switch revealed a delightful synchronized light show featuring 50,000 Christmas lights (over three miles' worth), light-up clothing donned by the improvers, and cheerful holiday music. The expressions on the faces of the passers-by are priceless; it's awesome how something so simple can create such joy. "In addition to lights on the trees, benches, and fences around the park, a mob of performers wearing lights wrapped around their clothes lit up as well. The performers were instructed to turn on their lights and freeze in place when the switch was flipped on," Improv Everywhere says.
One YouTube commenter says it best: "This is what I like to call a prank where you surprise people and make them happy."
Spread the holiday cheer. Please SHARE this video with your friends on Facebook!
