20 Best Christmas Light Displays in Georgia for 2022 (with Map!)

It’s no secret that our family truly loves Christmas Light Displays in Georgia.

Whether we’re heading out to enjoy our favorite Atlanta Christmas events or staying home to savor our beloved Christmas traditions and decorate our house with the symbols of Christmas, we tend to spend the entire month of December (and half of November) celebrating our favorite holiday.

Christmas lights are one of our favorite seasonal traditions. So naturally we adorn our home festively every year, both inside and out.

I put up so many festive lights on the house, I’ve been called “Sparky” (after Clark Griswold) on more than one occasion.

But we also love visiting (and revisiting) the best Christmas light displays in Georgia. 

When I was a young Atlanta native, the Christmas light displays near me were limited to just the Rich’s (now Macy’s) Great Tree in downtown Atlanta.

But these days there are dozens of Christmas light displays in Georgia, from Christmas lights in Atlanta to Christmas lights in Lake Lanier Islands, Callaway Gardens, Rock City, and Coastal Georgia.

No matter how old we get, we’re still delighted by the shimmering lights and spirit of the holiday seasons. Perhaps that’s why we continue to visit our favorite Georgia Christmas light displays every year.

Here’s a look at a few of our personal favorites, as well as numerous others all around the state.
