Northern Virginia's best, brightest Christmas light displays for 2022

In keeping with InsideNoVa tradition, we present our annual list of some of the area’s most popular neighborhood Christmas light displays.

This holiday season, we have to bid farewell to one longtime, favorite local display – Anderson’s North Pole in Woodbridge.

After more than 20 years of transforming their property off Cardinal Drive into a winter wonderland that drew more than 5,000 people each season, the Anderson family has decided to hang up the lights this year and retire.

But never fear, there are still plenty of family displays across Northern Virginia. Some are set to music, some are collecting for food banks and some might have the biggest inflatables you’ve ever seen. Grab a thermos of hot chocolate and hit the road!

Singing Christmas trees, 3551 Karoly Place, Woodbridge

Tune your car radio to 89.5 FM out front and listen to the Page family’s singing Christmas trees. The light display is choreographed to holiday tunes the whole family will love. The show runs nightly 5:30-10 p.m. through Dec. 31.

The Andruzzi family display, 7435 Pensacola Place, Gainesville

The Andruzzi family’s Christmas lights display, a tradition since they moved to the area in 2012, continues this year with thousands of lights ringing in the season.

Tylers’ Christmas Wonderland, 7308 Castle Road, Manassas

The Tyler family has been lighting up Manassas for the holidays since 1999, and they’re back again this year with 40,000 lights, give or take.

Home of the Giant Inflatables, 13730 Kaywood Drive, Dale City

Linna Rodriguez and family light up their Dale City home every year. The display used to be known as the home of the 20-foot Santa, then the “Home of the 20-Foot Trios.” This year, the trio has a new friend, so now the display will be known as the “Home of the 20-Foot Quadrets.” Lights are on and inflatables up until 10 p.m. each night, weather permitting. Check the Facebook page at facebook.com/20fttrios for updates.
