Christmas Light Hunting on the Central Coast 2025

Find Christmas Lights on the Central Coast

It’s that time again – the magical season when the Coast starts to glow, with streets transforming into festive wonderlands. Whether you’re out for a stroll with the family, some friends, a bag of pre-packed gingerbread men, or even just the doggo, Christmas light hunting around the neighbourhoods is a must on the 2025 holiday bucket list.

Every year, some houses go absolutely next level. Others pop up quietly and become quick crowd faves. Some hot spots for this seasonal treasure hunt include Green Point, Hamlyn Terrace, Saratoga and San Remo (& surrounding suburbs), but you can find truly amazing Christmas decorations, windows, inflatables and more right across the Central Coast. We’ve listed some of the best here, loosely going from north to south (as Santa’s sleigh flies).

Our neighbourhoods are merry and bright this year, so it’s time to get cracking! We’re going on a Christmas light hunt…

Found a Christmas Light display we should add?

If your street is glowing or you’ve spotted a new favourite, we’d love to know. Flick us a DM on Instagram or send us an email on [email protected] and we’ll get it added.

Also, one last (an super important) note; most of these displays are at private homes, so please remember to be kind and courteous. Drive slowly and respect neighbours. Sharing Christmas cheer is the main aim of the game here, folks.
