Light displays to add to your countdown



Christmas light displays across the eastern suburbs have been getting bigger and better in recent years, with a number of homes now boasting spectacular displays.

While these photos by Star Mail photographer Stewart Chambers may have been captured during the day, one doesn’t have to imagine much about how nightfall transforms these festive arrangements.

With a little over a week until Christmas, make Christmas light spotting an activity to add to your countdown.

Some suggested displays include: 50 Kincumber Drive, Croydon, Oh Boyd It’s Christmas located at Boyd Close Mooroolbark, Ho Ho Heyson – 6 Heyson Court, Mooroolbark, and 41 Morokai Grove, Lilydale. Mumma Knows East also has a comprehensive list of where to see the best lights, visit: mammaknowseast.com.au/christmas-in-the-east-1/mammas-guide-to-christmas-lights-in-the-east-2025
