But when we were little we would go out every year without fail to drive around and look at lights! It was one of our most fun family traditions - I think the addition of ice cream would have been one of the few things that could have made it more fun.

My children do believe in Santa, so that creates a lot of excitement and more willingness to go to bed. We do not go overboard with presents though as we think that deflects from the meaning of it all.
