Driving around Sydney just before Christmas can be a magical time with family and friends — some houses and streets go all out with their Christmas lights.

We’ve gathered a bunch of locations from Hopeland and the Hope team suggestions and from what we’ve found on socials. Hopefully at least one is close enough to you but the drive to some of the further out destinations is worth making a night of it.

At the moment, it looks like North West is strongly representing!

This house is really amazing and stunning for me!!!!! I couldn’t say anything when I just arrived there.????? / I regretted that I couldn’t see this type of decoration when I was in Brisbane. So I made up my mind that I have to see at least once time in this year. / I searched on the internet and trying to find the most attractive of the house then I found it.???❤️ It’s worth for me even it took almost two hours to got there…? / Thanks my friends went with me.??????? @mrn_sky769 @nogod25.yura @chika_1722 @cheweishih #20171221 #Sydney #Greystanes #44CamelliaStreet #Snapxmas #ChristmasLights #ChristmasLightsSydney #Christmas #kirakira
