Nothing gets Mamma in the festive spirit like a good Christmas light display! We are on the hunt for incredible installations across Melbourne's east, so if you are planning a display of your own or know of a great one in your area, let us know.
mamma’s favourite christmas light displays
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!
Ho Ho Heysen Christmas Lights is next level. The house in the bowl of the court is decorated head to toe with lights, but it is the SHOW that makes this one really stand out.
YAY for CHRISTMAS. What a year we have had and what a beautiful time to share in the community spirit with a yard full of Christmas lights. The family from Oh Boyd it’s Christmas create a GIANT display of festive cheer.
Lakeside crescent lights is one of the great ones and worth getting out of the car and having a good look. Huge inflatables, thousands of lights - if you’re lucky the snow machine and occasionally, the CFA!
Another family is bringing us the Christmas joy in the form of thousands of fairy lights, inflatables, moving train sets, music and even some SNOW!
This leafy suburban street of classic weatherboard homes in Mitcham has brought Christmas outside and as turned on the lights for all to enjoy.
Mamma is blown away with the amount of effort - and let’s face it - the love that goes into the displays at Christmas time. The lights at number 4, Mitchell Court in Croydon North and no exception.
We love that this street has a number of houses lit up in festive cheer this Christmas, making this a great quiet street to get out and have a closer look
The sound and light show at LMC on the grounds of Oxley College is quickly becoming a MUST DO outer east Christmas tradition.
I spy with my little eye … Paw Patrol, Spiderman, a cheeky elf and hundreds (possibly) of Christmas treasures at the end of Rawdon Court, Boronia.
Hordern Road … you are amazing! At this time of year in Mount Evelyn, this street sparkles with Christmas JOY.
When the calendar ticks over to the 1st of December and the local streets start to glow with that Christmas twinkle, it makes Mamma’s heart flutter.
