It's time for the most spectacular residential Christmas lights Orlando has to offer! We’re continually amazed by the creativity and passion homeowners pour into their holiday lights. From mesmerizing, choreographed light shows to impressive walk-through light displays perfect for photos, these Orlando Christmas homes deliver holiday magic like no other. Fun fact: Two of the houses on this list have even been featured on The Great Christmas Light Fight!

Most homeowners start up their Orlando Christmas light displays Thanksgiving weekend and let it shine bright throughout the season (unless otherwise noted). As you enjoy the festivities, please be courteous to the neighborhoods—visit during designated times, avoid blocking driveways, keep music at a reasonable volume, and respect private properties.
