The signs of holiday spirit come in many different forms: hot cocoa, candy canes, and little santas and reindeer across the city. One of the most iconic scenes that compliment all these holiday hints is a brightly lit home covered in tiny lights that resemble crystal snowflakes falling on the streets of OC. This year, the city of Mission Viejo welcomes contestants for its 37th annual Home Lighting Contest.
Prizes will be awarded to the top five homes that brighten their neighborhood with the most creative holiday cheer. Winners will receive a beautiful floral centerpiece for their season’s greetings to share with their friends and family. Jingle Bells will be singing in the minds of all who look upon the home with bright smiles
Let your imagination run wild in a flurry of decorations with endless possibilities to deliver your own winter wonderland to southern California. Houses must be decorated and entries must be received by Friday, December 4th. Call 949.830.7066 or visit http://www.mvactivities.com/ to download entry forms for the contest.
Preliminary judging will be December 7th and 8th with final judging commencing on December 9th. The city will provide maps to locations of the winning homes that will be available to residents starting Saturday, December 12th.
