A cherished tradition in our community is Santa and his sleigh, ready to greet excited children as they explore the festive wonderland,” said Jayne, Community Manager.

Not only does Christmas tradition bring happiness to the community, but it also serves a greater purpose. “Visitors to the community generously donate to support local charities, making this celebration a true testament to the spirit of giving. From caroler’s serenading on the verandas to minstrels strolling through the streets, the festive atmosphere extends beyond individual homes, creating a communal sense of joy and wonder. Our community as a whole is a shining example of holiday spirit, with every resident in one way or another, contributing to an unforgettable experience for all who stop by,” concluded Jayne.

Congratulations to all of the individual Best Resident Christmas Lights Display winners within their respective communities and thank you to all residents who took the time to enter the competition. Hometown Australia look forward to presenting the Christmas Lights Competition in 2025!
