Every holiday season, Christmas lights are often the first decorations to go up and the last to come down. No matter where you go, you see them everywhere – hanging from trees, on the roofs of houses, office buildings, and filling the city streets. Ultimately, what is Christmas without Christmas lights?

Driving around and looking at Christmas lights is a timeless Christmas tradition. This year, Central Florida is going all-out, featuring giant displays and opening more drive-through experiences than ever before. We have complied a list of the must- see light displays right in your backyard!
