Holiday Lights Tour

Montgomery and Bucks County, Pennsylvania

               It’s that time of year !   Everyone wants to know where they can see great light displays in local neighborhoods.

               I previously used a free app called Christmas Prism to research and plan a custom route for my parents and I (and dog) to drive around and enjoy the holiday magic from the warmth of our car.  BONUS – the inventor of this app is a local Delaware County dad.  Go Philly suburbs !!

               The app is great and let’s you see a Map or List view of nearby displays, and even uses different festive Winter emojis on the map to designate different leveled rankings of homes based on the number of “likes” they receive.  I then used Google Maps to plan a multi-stop route from home and back.

               Below is the route we took around the Montgomery and Bucks county areas if you don’t want to have to think or plan at all for yourself.  It was a 7-Stop Tour in total.  They were all amazing in their own way, and the photos don't do them justice.

               I put * next to the ones that I don’t see listed on the app yet this year, so I can’t confirm whether they’re still doing the display, just as a heads-up if you want to pick alternate locations just in case.

Stop A – 28 St. Dunstan’s Rd, Hatboro, PA – “The Chrostowski’s”

• A cute little local display

 

***  Stop B – 201 Garth Rd, Oreland, PA

• This entire street takes part in the decorating fun and is lined with giant candy canes… affectionately nicknamed “Candy Cane Lane”.  Not listed on the app, but I can’t imagine that the tradition has stopped.

 

Stop C – 1800 Dutchman’s Circle, Harleysville, PA – “The Drelicks Christmas Lights”

• A humungous and interactive holiday set-up

 

 

***  Stop D – 1507 St. Andrew’s Way, Lansdale, PA

• A nice display on a culdesac.

 

 

Stop E – 102 Kimberly Way, Hatfield, PA – “The Michael Family Christmas Display”

• Another nice display that had a giant dancing Grinch in the window on the year I went.  They also had their own radio station that you could tune into for holiday music.

 

***  Stop F – 17 Spur Road, Lansdale, PA

• I think that they own every holiday inflatable ever made, and they somehow crammed them all into their front yard.  The longer you look at it, the more characters you find – super fun!

Stop G – 106 Dolly Lane, Chalfont, PA – “Brittany Farms Lightshow”

• This house had its OWN WEBSITE, where you could go on and request the next holiday song that you wanted to play on their radio station.  Then, the light display was choreographed to each song.   SO COOL !

 

 

Wherever your holiday light tour takes you, I hope that it’s bright and merry !
