Guide to the Best (and Worst) Holiday Decorations in Your Town

Travel Tips | Mike Sheridan | December 12, 2023

If you’ve driven around your neighborhood searching for Christmas decorations but found nothing exciting, it’s time for a road trip. Take a tacky light tour to find the best holiday light displays.

Why Look for the Best Holiday Decorations?

The holiday season is all about spreading joy and cheer. And what better way to do that than through dazzling decorations? Whether it’s a simple string of lights or an elaborate display with music, holiday decorations have a magical effect on people. They can bring back childhood memories, create new ones, and simply make us happy.

Tacky Light Tour is ready to help you out, as they have listings for some of the best and busiest decorations this season all around the country. Just pop in your zip code and you can see which neighborhoods are stressing out the grid with their over-the-top electric bills.

Houses on the list have to meet certain criteria, so if you’re wasting half a tank of gas to visit one you won’t be disappointed. Homes must have at least 20,000 lights dangling from their roof, gutters, and windows. The most popular displays are scattered about the country in states like Michigan, Texas, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey and Maryland.

So if you want to skip dinner at Aunt Betty’s this weekend in search of the Griswold’s house, we definitely recommend taking a Tacky Light Tour of your own. It’s a wonderful way to create lasting memories and embrace the holiday spirit. Happy decorating and safe travels!
