Spectacular Neighborhood Holiday Lights and Christmas Lights in Orlando

Submitted by Charlotte B on Fri, 12/09/2022 - 10:56am

Orlando isn't known for getting snow, but visitors to Cross Christmas can experience "snow" flurries every 30 minutes.

We've already rounded up the Best Holiday Lights Drive-Thrus & Christmas Light Shows in Orlando, and now we’ve put together a list of some stunning residential Christmas lights in Orlando. We at Mommy Poppins are always amazed at the creativity homeowners use when creating their displays! From mesmerizing, choreographed light shows to impressive walk-through displays with fun photo ops, these Orlando Christmas homes treat families to a grand show. And THREE of the houses listed below have been featured on The Great Christmas Light Fight TV show in years past (one is actually part of a full street of participating houses). 

Make a plan to drive around and check out these bright and dazzling Orlando Christmas light homes this season. Just remember, people live in these neighborhoods; be good visitors by arriving during posted times and don't block driveways, blast radios, or touch personal property.
