Outrageous Homes Decorated with Holiday Lights

Clifton Mill

The Clifton Mill display is outrageous in a good way. Outrageous because it boasts more than 3.5 million lights and even a 100-foot waterfall of lights. Imagine what the fall foliage looks like at this setting, it could be one of the 15 best places in the country to see fall colors.

So Cal Light Show

This southern California home might not be the most outrageous holiday light display but the level of detail is wild. Having reindeer in your yard is fine but that other kind of deer isn’t. See how you can keep deer out of your yard and stop them from eating out of your garden.

Festival of Lights

Over in London on Lower Morden Lane Sylvia Queenborough has been dressing up her house for more than 20 years. Not only is she spreading Christmas cheer, she’s also donating money she raises from visitors to a nearby hospice center. Pictured is David Clark’s house and it’s wonder how he sleeps at night with all the lights outside.

Quite the Choir

It’s not only choir singers that make this phalanx of illuminated figures. It’d be hard not to get a feeling that someone is watching you at this home in Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. Stay safe this holiday season and avoid these decorations because they can be fire hazards.

Light Ride

Elsewhere on Candy Cane Lane, Adriana Leiss and her daughters dressed up their 1965 Chevy pickup truck. We especially like Rudolph on the roof.

Candy Cane Lane

For nearly 40 years Candy Cane Lane, also known as Morse Drive, in Pacific Grove, California near Monterey, has lit up the street with unique Christmas looks. This giant nutcracker is certainly outrageous but Candy Cane Lane has also had the Little Mermaid, Snoopy, Tweety Bird, Buzz Lightyear and the gang from Sesame Street show up.

Extreme Christmas Lights Display

It’s quite the entrance to home with these lights and the level of detail in this Christmas lights display is wild. Reader George Weaver says, “This display started out in 1966 with one strand of Christmas lights on the front porch. It has grown into a beautiful display with over 105,000 lights over 3 acres.”
