The Best Christmas Lights Across The Country

Every Christmas Eve, it's tradition for my family to take a spin around the neighborhood after dark to see all the amazing light displays. We point and stare at each decked-out yard with wide, child-like eyes. Then we inevitably return home feeling warmer and cheerier than ever.

Local Christmas light displays are one of our favorite parts of the holidays here at Patch, so this year we wanted to showcase the amazing neighbors who go all out each year to make their communities smile. We invited readers to submit videos featuring their legendary light work and we've featured their masterpieces all month long. Now that the amazing footage is in, we'd like to take you on a special tour of all best light displays in Patch towns across the country.

From magical Santas to epic light shows perfectly timed to Christmas playlists, here's an exclusive reindeer's-eye view of Christmas around the country. Excited? Good. The view from Santa's sleigh has nothing on what you're about to watch.
