One of our favorite things to do around the holiday is to try to take in as many Holiday Light Displays as we can. And with so many Dallas Christmas lights in the area, it is difficult to see them all.
That’s why we have created a list of the Top 10 Free Holiday Lights Displays that you must see this year! Many of the listed displays are collecting for charities, so please help out where you can if you’re in the Dallas area.
This is not only a great way to be festive and support a great cause, but taking time and looking at all these wonderful Dallas Christmas lights is a perfect way to spend time with your family as well.

Very dissapointing, several of these addresses were wrong. The one in Farmers Brand on Southern Pine also the one in Plano on Quincy. Waisted a lot of our time that we didn’t even get to look at many lights before it was to late.
