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

I love driving these streets and seeing people’s creativity with their holiday displays. 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.

Lancelot Drive off Lake Miriam

Lake Miriam Dr & Lancelot, Lakeland, FL 33813
Almost every house on this street is COVERED with Christmas lights and more inflatables and yard decorations than you can imagine. On weekend nights, some of the residents are outside handing out candy canes. I take a quick drive down this street anytime I’m out after dark in December! Be sure to visit this street this year – we’ve heard 2021 will be the last year for a few of these houses that have put up amazing Christmas light displays for 20+ years (see photo below). We appreciate you Chuck and Pat and all of Lancelot Drive!!

Lochnivar Dr. off Lake Miriam

Lake Miriam Dr & Lochnivar, Lakeland, FL 33813 (one street East of Lancelot)
