Christmas Lights in Queens
Wednesday December 3, 2008
Every street in Queens seems to have at least three or four houses or apartments totally glowing for Christmas. One of the best neighborhoods for Christmas lights is Bayside. Planning a Christmas decoration cruise in Queens? Try:
- 166th St @ 23rd Ave, Whitestone [Top Pick]
- 33-20 205th St, Bayside (excellent) [Top Pick]
- Corner of 212th Street and 32nd Ave, Bayside
- 91st Street between 157th and 158th Aves, Howard Beach
- 76th Street at 77th Ave, Glendale (more for the nativity and train set in garage, which are not visible from the street)
Got photos of Christmas lights to share? I'm starting a Christmas and holiday light photo gallery: Email me or tag on Flickr with "queensabout."

The Address for the 2 top picks are wrong It’s
33-20 205 Street Bayside &
166st @ 23rd Ave Whitestone
Other wise these are some of the best houses I amd my family have ever seen.
especially the 33-20 Bayside house. Nothing is cluttered together and the owner of this house allows you to walk in his backs yards of both of his houses to see the whole display.
Thanks for the corrections. The addresses have been fixed.
Me and my family saw most of these houses on saturday night. In my opion the house on 205 Street is the best. Each section has its own theme.
The front of the house is broken up into three sections Toyland, The nativity and music land. The side of the house is all animated cartoon figures, South park, Family Guy, Peanuts and Disney. The backyard is Gingerbread land and the other Back yard is all polar bears and penguines. The garages are also seperated into two themes. One garage is all different santas with a fireplace and the other is all snowmen with a computerized Christmas tree.
This person was very generious and was giving all the children gifts and all donations were going to Saint Judes Children Hospital.
I would like to thank the owner of this house for helping our comunity to celebratate the Christmas spirit. Everyone should take there family there to see this beautiful display.
If anybody knows who does this please send them our family love and say THANK YOU.
the house on 23 ave. and 166 st. has the most lights and brightest each bulb is perfectly straight this guy must start in sept. to finish in time i heard he does it by himself he puts a donation box out for st.marys childrens hospital this family has a heart of gold and loves kids a must house to visit this year and he adds new things every year where does he store all his displays !
I love all these houses, they put such great work into all of them!! I love the house on 212th and 32nd avenue, its beautiful!! Plus its for a great cause, St. Mary’s Hospital for kids, which everyone around this time of year should donate too.
