Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt: Your New Favorite Family Tradition
Going on a Christmas light scavenger hunt has fast become my favorite tradition that we started a few years ago, for quite a few reasons:
- it’s fun for the whole family, it would even make a great date night activity
- it’s practically free
- it gives you a new way to explore your neighborhood/town or maybe even a brand new city
- it gets you into the holiday spirit
- it’s something you can do year after year and it will always be a unique and different experience!
Here’s how you can easily start this tradition with your own family…

So much fun, thanks!
Just last weekend my husband and I packed up our boys in their PJs and we drove around and looked at lights, I wish we would have had this list! We might have to make another trip around in the neighborhood with your checklist!
What a great idea!
