Christmas Light Displays Near Westchester in 2022  

1. Keeler Christmas Lights Display — Putnam Valley

16 Luigi Road
The Keeler family spends months gearing up for its annual Christmas lights display, and the results are spectacular. There are nearly 1 million lights in this glittering display just north of the Westchester border in Putnam County, which has been going strong for 5 years. Visitors can get in on the action by dropping letters to Santa on the property or ordering specially-made shirts for $15 each. "This year our shirts say, 'Let's get lit,'" the family writes on their Facebook page. The lights are turned on every night from 6pm-10pm—with the hours extended until 11pm during Christmas week—through the beginning of January. Note: While there, if you have to turn your car around, they ask that you do so at the end of the road and not in the driveway.

2. Lights on Jenkins Court — Ossining

12 Jenkins Court
The Staples family is again decking its house for the holidays with lots of lights, snowflakes, and more. Turn your car radio to 90.5 FM to check out the awesome synced-to-music display, and be sure to go to the Facebook page, where the family shares lots of fun content. (While they typically kick off the display right after Thanksgiving, they expect to be delayed until December 3 this year, so be sure to follow their social media posts to stay in the know!) Pull over to listen and watch the show, which runs from 4:30pm-9pm through Jan. 6—but be sure to keep the driveways clear and the noise down.
