Send Patch Your Christmas Display For The 2025 Patch Tour o' Holiday Lights

ILLINOIS — Cue up the Andy Williams Christmas Album, because it’s time to put together the Patch Tour O’ Holiday Lights, where readers can tour the best holiday displays of 2025.

Can you see your house from space? Does it look like the Las Vegas strip? If you've spent days or weeks painstakingly hanging strands of lights on your house, trees and shrubs, or hauling multiple blow molds out to your lawn, Patch wants to hear from you.

We’re going to shoot to have the list up before Dec. 13, so email pictures and a description of your winter wonderland to Lorraine Swanson at lorraine.swanson@patch.com.

A few details:

If you’re including a video, please upload it to YouTube and send us the link so we can embed it (make sure it's marked “public”). We also prefer that the homeowner submit his or her own yard, or a close relative.

- Include the exact address of your holiday lights display and your phone number (not for publication) in case we need to get in touch with you.

- Have we featured your house before? May we use photos from prior years? (If you're changing up your display, we can insert the new ones later.)

- Let us know the dates when your holiday display goes live and when it shuts off for the evening

.- Does your winter wonderland have a name? Be sure to include it, or we can help you make one up.

- Tell us what makes your twinkly lights special. Will you be planning anything special for your display, like Santa or other holiday characters, FM frequencies for your synchronized light show, walk-throughs, popcorn machines, etc.?

- Does your display have a Facebook page or website? Be sure to include the links.

Once you've provided the information — and submitted a photo or two or a video (after you uploaded it to YouTube) — you will be included in our massive holiday light roundup. If you haven't photographed your light display, a good time to take photos is at dusk.

IMPORTANT: By submitting a photo, you're giving Patch permission to publish it for this feature and future stories. Photos should be original and taken by the person submitting the photo.

We’ll keep updating the list every Friday through Christmas. So, be sure to check back for updates and sign up for your local Patch.com newsletters as well!
