Can you hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling…? Believe it or not, the most wonderful time of the year is upon us once again – and with it comes a twinkle of fairy lights and blow-up Santas galore.
While we love venturing into town to see each of our capital city’s dazzling displays – like NSW’s tallest tree towering over Martin Place or David Jones’ festive windows – nothing quite compares to the humble suburban house decked to the nines by the hard yakka of a family that just does it for the love of Chrissie (and sometimes to raise some coins for charity).
If you’re hoping to see something more than just a lonely string of fairy lights, then Christmas Light Search is here to save the day. The massive interactive site has mapped out all the best Christmas lights in Australia, and there are bound to be some hidden gems within driving distance. All you have to do is type in your suburb or postcode, and you’ll be presented with a map of houses to add to your trail.
