Christmas markets, light displays and tree farms near a US place, with official dates and sources.
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools target clearly different attraction types, and each description explicitly cross-references the other to steer selection, which is excellent. The only wrinkle is that the first tool bundles two distinct queries (light displays and choose-and-cut tree farms) behind a 'light_displays'/'tree_farms' switch, so an agent must parse a parameter rather than pick a clean tool.
Both names follow an identical verb_noun snake_case pattern (find_christmas_*), differing only in the subject noun. There is no mixing of conventions, casing, or verb styles.
Two tools is thin for a discovery service covering three attraction categories; splitting lights and tree farms (or adding a detail/lookup tool) would be more natural. It is not absurdly thin since both tools do substantive work, but it sits at the borderline.
The surface covers search-by-location for the three main holiday attraction types, but there is no way to fetch details for a specific venue, list more than 5 results, or query broadly, and international coverage is deliberately absent. These are workable limitations for a lightweight finder but leave notable gaps.
Use this when someone asks where to see Christmas lights (drive-through or walk-through displays) or where to cut their own Christmas tree (choose-and-cut tree farms) near a US city, state or ZIP code, optionally on certain dates in the 2026 season. Choose "light_displays" or "tree_farms". Returns up to 5 results, nearest first, each with the organizer's published dates and hours (or a note that the dates are not announced yet), how it is viewed or what the farm offers, the official or visitor-bureau page we checked, the date we checked it, the date the answer stops being served and a link to our page. Dates change: always send people to the official site to confirm. Do not use this to list every display or farm, for places outside the United States, for tickets or lodging, or for Christmas markets (find_christmas_markets covers those).
