The California Christmas Lights (CCL) website is the largest and most comprehensive collection of the best and brightest Christmas light and yard displays from all of California: San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego.
Now with 348 Houses (348 confirmed for 2020), in 136 Cities, in 34 Counties.
(33 of the 2020 confirmed Houses have multiple houses in their display)
2020 was our 22nd year of showing you the best Christmas displays in California.

When my family moved to Livermore in 1992, we relied on newspaper listings to find local homes decorated with Christmas lights. The local newspaper was helpful but many times we would get lost or stumble on a "stinker". photo: Alex Dourov
So, I created a searchable database of confirmed and verified Christmas light displays so that everyone could avoid disappointing wild goose chases based on bad information. LightsOfTheValley.com was published on December 11, 1999. Due to expansion, its now called CaliforniaChristmasLights.com

NOTE: The California Christmas Lights site always "Closes" on New Years Day.
The site will "Open" again on the Friday After Thanksgiving Day! |
