including Allen, Frisco, McKinney, Plano
Anna, Murphy, Prosper, Sachse, and Wylie
Updated for 2022
Are you searching for an address for Christmas lights that seems to have just disappeared? It's possible, because we are continually updating from prior
year's featured properties to verify they still qualify for listing this year. Some properties, due to personal reasons, reduce or eliminate their
displays. Please help us keep this list updated by sending updates to
info@collincountyguide.com.
2022 Submissions Are Now Closed
Submit Your Home for 2023
Are you interested in seeing your home and Christmas light display included here in 2023? Please visit our
Submit My House page to learn the criteria we use when selecting homes to be included. We are
accepting submissions all season to be included this year, but please be patient as we are a small team trying to keep up with submissions.
Editors, Publishers and Realtors
Please don't ruin the fun for everyone by using our most complete list of Christmas lights in your publications. Collin County Guide created
this list in 2015 by spending hours in the car looking for the best Christmas light presentations by homeowners. We've noticed our work here
in past years has been reproduced without our permission. If this continues, we will do as we have in another city and will discontinue this free
resource. Homeowners tell us their visitors cite Collin County Guide as their source, including bus loads from out of state. We'd hate to see the folks
who rely on this list to be disappointed.
As always, you are free to write your own paragraph sending your viewers and/or readers to this page.
Neighborhood and Single Family Home Christmas Light Displays
For a
Google map of the Christmas lights in Collin County, click
here. When sharing this link, please
share this web page as this will provide the descriptions to go along with the map.
Typically neighborhoods are lit up by December 1, but keep in mind that weather may delay their installation. Check our dates here as some homeowners
do not put up their lights until mid-December.
Tips for Seeing Christmas Lights
Please be courteous when driving through the neighborhoods: respect personal property, keep your litter inside your vehicle, and keep your noise
level down. Not everyone in the neighborhood participates, and these few courtesies may encourage future displays.
Please do not stop your car on the same side of the street of the display as this blocks the view of other cars.
Be aware of people taking photos or you'll be in their picture!
Please be aware of traffic around you!
Neighborhood Light Displays
These are the neighborhoods in Collin County who's residents put on a coordinated effort of decorating.
Village of Eldorado, McKinney
Free
Typically last weekend in November thru December 30, Nightly
Eldorado holds their lighting contest in mid-December. This has historically been one of the few neighborhoods in McKinney that decorate for the
holiday yet in recent years neighborhood participation has waned. Our favorites included Club Lake Trail (cartoon characters), upper Augusta
(nativity scenes and angels), upper Colonial Circle (Santa), Wind Ridge (Songs of Christmas), Brookside Lane (lighting lining the street). Check
here for 2014's themes by street, because many people still
use the same decorations.
Eldorado Pkwy at Country Club Dr, McKinney (Use 2600 Carriage Trail to find the neighborhood)
Tucker Hill, McKinney
Free
Early December - January 1, Nightly
For that quintessential small town feeling of years past, drive through the neighborhood of Tucker Hill, located off Hwy 380, between N. Custer Rd and
Lake Forest Dr. This is a great place for a romantic or family walk away from chaos. In mid December the neighborhood judges select the winner of the
Tucker Hill light contest, which explains why when we visited on December 16 over sixty percent of the neighborhood was lit up! There are no public
events, but Looky Lous are welcome.
2100 State Blvd, McKinney
Winding Creek, McKinney
Free.
Use Greystone Court for your GPS as there are two homes here decorated to the hilt. From there, drive the circle of Pecan Hollow Trail where there are

neighborhood Christmas lights display in Collin County. Limo and Segway Tours are available as are carriage rides. Reservations are highly
recommended. Families are encouraged to vote and text in their favorites. While you're in the neighborhood, be sure to see the
Zephrie's home which was decorated by At Home again this year.

Santa's Village, Richardson
Free
From Santa's Library to his workshop, there's an entire village for families to explore the first three weeks in December on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday nights. This has been a tradition for over 25 years and it's adorable. Many lighted Christmas trees adorn the village.
