An Orange County Holiday Tradition
The Eagle Hills Christmas Lights display is one of Orange County's most cherished holiday traditions. Located in the quiet hills of Brea, California, this neighborhood celebration began decades ago as a friendly competition between neighbors. Today, over 100 homes participate, transforming the streets into a dazzling wonderland of lights, music, and live nativity scenes.
Unlike commercial drive-thrus, this is a true community event where residents often sit in their driveways greeting visitors with hot cocoa and holiday cheer. It is a testament to the spirit of the season and the warmth of the Eagle Hills community.
