Jingle bells and halls of holly, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We might not have snow in Central Florida but we do have some amazingly decked out homes and fantastic Christmas light shows. Below is a list of what we consider some of the best Christmas Lights in and around Orlando.
Best areas to drive, walk or pedal your way through:
Downtown Mt. Dora – This quaint little town about 30 minutes north of Orlando, really gets into the season with lights throughout the downtown and a must see stop in Donnelly Park, where you really feel you’re walking through a winter wonderland.
Downtown Sanford Historic District – Homeowners in the Sanford Historic district pull out all the stops during the Holiday season. Gorgeous Victorian, Colonial and Craftsman homes are all aglow with Christmas Lights. And if you want a close up look, join the Sanford Holiday Tour of Homes on December 3rd.
Audubon Park Garden District - Drive around this Orlando area neighborhood or join the (kid friendly) Holiday Lights Bicycle Tour on December 12.
Downtown Orlando – Downtown Orlando businesses are full of holiday cheer and are joining together to offer a map guided tour of “festive lights and window decorations”. December 1 -17 guests can even enter to win gift cards and prizes by completing a few photo ops. More info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1813597958907200
