When snow begins to pile in soft drifts and New England homes are laced with the soft glow of holiday lights, we’re convinced: our community was MADE for Christmas time. Because, while every region and community has its own special version of the holiday spirit, the Boston Metrowest area undoubtedly receives an extra dose of holiday magic every year.
Don’t believe us? Take a drive through one of the area’s many decorated neighborhoods and holiday light displays! This seasonal activity keeps you both warm AND festive. Fill your thermos with hot cocoa, pack the kids in the car, and turn on your favorite Christmas playlist...you’ll be wondering if you just stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting!
*Please note that some of these locations have not confirmed they will be putting up lights this year, however, they did last year and years prior.
