We get it! We need a little Christmas NOW too!
Nothing says the holidays like thousands of dazzling lights. While there are many ticketed drive-thrus with fabulous professional light shows, we know some of the best displays are homegrown and right here in our own community. Below we have compiled a list of great places for you to drive by and gaze at the hard work of one of your "neighbors" with a heart of gold and a ton of string lights they were willing to untangle. Remember, holiday lights go great with hot cocoa and cookies!
👉Please note - These houses/areas were sent to us by our readers. Cross streets will be listed unless the homeowners have listed their addresses online. You may need to do a little looking to find these places.
