2020 Christmas Lights Displays In Ocean County: Check Them Out

OCEAN COUNTY, NJ — The weather may be frightful on Christmas, but on Sunday you may be looking for something fun to do with your family.

With activities limited this December because of the coronavirus pandemic, we at Patch wanted to round up a list of homes that are decking out the halls — and the eaves and the yards — and want to share their love of the holidays with others.

If you were a kid in the 1970s and '80s, you probably spent at least one evening each December driving around in your family's station wagon with the fake wood panels listening to your mom "ooo" and "ahh" over the holiday decorations in town. (Confession: This was one of my mom's favorite parts of Christmas.)

The following is a list of addresses, organized by town, where people are looking forward to you checking out their lights displays. Also included are how long the displays will be up and extras if they have them.

If your address isn't on our list, you can add it here.

This list has been updated with new entries as of Christmas Eve. New addresses are at the top of each town listing.
