If there’s one tradition Grand Junction refuses to let go of, it’s piling everyone into the car, cranking up the Christmas music, and cruising the Valley to judge, ahem, appreciate, everyone else’s holiday light displays.

And once again, we’ve done the hard work for you and pulled together the ultimate map of the brightest, boldest, and “yep, they definitely blew a breaker for this” homes across town.

We’re talking 70+ spots across the Grand Valley where folks went all-in on the twinkle-factor. From classic charm to full-on Clark Griswold energy, you’ll find a little bit of everything lighting up the night.

And because the holidays are even sweeter with a little friendly competition, we’re giving away $250 to the best Christmas light display in the Valley. Go big, go bold, and maybe go buy a few more extension cords. ‘Tis the season, after all.

The Grand Valley's Best Holiday Light Displays for 2025
