Overview

If you're looking for something to do in New York City during this holiday season make sure you put this on your list! It's cheery, it's bright, it’s Christmas, it's NYC, it's everything Christmas about Christmas!

This Brooklyn neighborhood, looks like it is out of this world during Christmas time. Dyker Heights Christmas Lights is the cutest and most spectacular area of houses decorated for the holiday season. It's blocks and blocks of Christmas lights and fantastic decorations. The neighborhood goes all out with beautiful nativity displays, nutcrackers, inflatable santas, lights and more.The place glows with bright lights, buzzes sound, and literally bumps with holiday music on full blast. It's fun to see how some houses mix it up every year.

It is a recommended experience and a perfect night out for families, groups of friends and even a date night!

This is a great place to go if you enjoy taking pictures, as there are a lot of photo opportunities!
