The Best Neighborhood Christmas Lights and Holiday Displays in Lakeland + Polk County

I love driving these streets and seeing people’s creativity. If you do go on a Christmas light drive, keep in mind that you are in someone’s neighborhood. Make sure you print out our CHRISTMAS LIGHT SCAVENGER HUNT list before you go.
