Christmas Lights and Decorations Scavenger Hunt – Free Printable!

Family Christmas traditions are a big deal in my family and we have quite a few special ones we do together every year! One of my favorites is driving around together, sipping hot cocoa, and looking at neighborhood Christmas lights. Both grownups and kiddos {and the dog too} enjoy this and we do it multiple nights throughout the month. 
So I thought I would create a printable Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt list for my kids and for y’all, my awesome readers, that are Christmas fans too. Also be sure to check out my favorite light displays from all over the South in the photos below. 
Scroll down to download and print. Enjoy!
Christmas lights never get old! 
We love exploring our cities and checking out the beautiful lights all month long!

Now that we are parents, Ashton and I have really gotten into decorating our own home with lights. This is from Stella’s first Christmas in Louisiana. 
Every year we pile into the car with blankets and hot cocoa and check out the lights.
Last year in Texas we had Ashton’s convertible which was super fun to drive around in!
Have you ever seen a house with dancing lights? They are my kids favorite!
The house is covered head to toe in multi colored and they are set to “dance” to Christmas music that is played on the radio or a speaker. 
This is a shot of one in Deridder, LA. 
Natchitoches, La is one of the top 10 Christmas towns in the US and when we lived in Louisiana we went every year for their beautiful Christmas festival.
It’s not just Christmas lights that we like. We also enjoy visiting the local zoos, gardens, parks, and museums for their Christmas decorations and photo ops, like this Grinch at Hodges Gardens. 
You know I couldn’t skip Disney World! They have hands down the BEST Christmas lights ever!
This is from Hollywood Studios 4 years ago.

 This year we visited Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and LOVED the “ice” covered lighted Cinderella castle!
Another beautiful light display is Dollywood Christmas.
The whole town of Gatlinburg was absolutely breathtaking at Christmastime two years ago.
The Bagwell Dancing Lights in Springfield, MO are not to be missed!
Of course, I had to share a shot of our home this year. 
Complete with giant minion and lots of Disney magic!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

    You have taken light watching to a new high level. Those places were so great to be around during Christmas. I need to get out and see the lights in my town before the New Year comes.

Final Florida lunch with my Dad at a local hotspot: @stewbyseafoodshanty on Okaloosa Island. They have multiple locations but this one is by far my favorite. New, clean, beautiful scenery, and lots of space inside and outside.
🐟🐠🎣
I could eat here every day. Their seafood is the BEST. For lunch we tried their grilled grouper sandwich and seafood combo plate with amberjack, grilled shrimp, fried oysters, and all the sides and sauces to go with it (check out those scrumptious cheese grits)! 
🐟🐠🎣
Next door they have a seafood market, gift shop, and new steamer restaurant with steam buckets of shrimp, crab, and flounder with all the fixins. ⬅️ I know what I am ordering next time! Their motto: local fish at local prices. Check them out and thank me later.

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤
