Beverly East of Preston, Armstrong West of Preston and 6767 Hunters Glen Dallas, TX 75205.

Those are in the Park Cities area. Also if you don't think that address above is not the most awesome display of home Christmas lights ever in the history of the world, GET OUT OF MY FACE! LOL.

I second this. Those are all must see

Also, while you're out there you can drive through Highland Park Village which is all lit up as well.

This is a pretty good route as well, but doesn't include Hunters Glen. I promise you, you want to experience that house. They do an amazing job every Christmas and Halloween.

I was going to make a thread to ask this question today.

There's some family on Westridge Drive in Plano who does a pretty amazing display set to music, not the Home Depot variety but professionally programmed. It's totally worth a look if you are in Central Plano in the dark. It's probably close to a .3 of an acre of Christmas lights. In that same area is a home that puts out boxes containing Christmas vingettes of those tiny houses, Santa's workshop, etc. It's pretty unique. I can never remember exactly which street though.

In my opinion, the Interlochen neighborhood is Arlington is the Christmas lights champion, not because any individual house is all that great but because nearly every house decorates. Deerfield in Plano is a distant second. Highland Park/Park Cities have some decent individual displays, but they don't match Interlochen or Deerfield on number of homes decorated. Expect to see darkness, darkness, lame-o, wow!, darkness, darkness, darkness, Griswold!, darkness.
Deerfield also matches Highland Park with carriage rides for purchase.
Finally, don't miss out on Grapevine, the Christmas capitol of Texas! The downtown area is pretty nice this time of year, and well decorated, and has Christmas ornament stores and candy stores.

BTW about Interlochen: it's so popular you can expect an hour plus to go through the neighborhood on a weekend night, and there's a pretty solid traffic jam entering, so get snacks and take a potty break before going.

Preston Hollow is not that great on lights. HP is 10x better. I also echo the thoughts on Hunters Glen. It is by far my favorite.

It's not a neighborhood, but Vitruvian Park in Addison is really cool to go to and walk among all the beautifully lit trees. HP and Deerfield are our go to's every year also.
