’Tis The Season To Drive Very Slowly Past Sparkly Lights So Here’s Where The Best Ones Are

Nothing is more festive than the time-honoured tradition of piling into a car after dinner and going for a little drive around the neighbourhood to look at all the houses gussied up with flashing lights. But the key is to map out the best Christmas lights around you so you can plan a perfect route with minimal driving and maximum ooh-ing and ahh-ing. Christmas Light Search once again has a stacked map filled with thousands of Xmas lights displays around Australia so you can find the best and brightest ones near you. Some of them have their own dedicated radio frequency so you can listen to the music the lights are synced up with. Others are raising funds for their favourite charities. There are blow-up Santas and real-life people dressed up as the big man himself but there’s no doubt that every one of these displays has two things driving them: a shitload of effort and a terrifying electricity bill. We’ve curated a mere sample of the best Christmas lights around Australia for you to peruse and consider when you jump in the car over the next couple of weeks. Because at the end of the day, are we not all just creatures incredibly distracted and enthralled by pretty twinkling lights?
