Wantirna knows how to turn on the festive cheer and this great little house in Warwick Close is one of the best. It’s clear from the get go that this display is a labour of love for the family, who have carried on this Christmas tradition for over 20 years!

With a front yard filled to the brim with inflatables (some of which are motorised), dazzling lights, dioramas and festive music, visitors are also invited to walk up the fairy light trimmed footpath to their porch which is just as magical. The house’s two front windows are turned into the sweetest little Christmas displays, while the porch itself is also adorned with EVEN MORE lights and decorations.

But wait… THERE’S MORE! The garage has been turned into its very own Santa photo studio, complete with dancing santa, Christmas trees, and love seat for a great little photo op. On certain nights of the month the family’s patriarch dresses up as Santa so you can have a photo with the big red guy himself.

On Fridays and Saturdays, one of the grandchildren sets up a stall out front selling handmade earrings, bracelets, key rings and more - this is a multigenerational enterprise in its purest form that leaves you grinning from ear to ear as you head back to your car.
