2025 Christmas Home Decorating Contest

About this event

Contest opens 11/25/25 and closes at noon on 12/12/25. Join JC Parks and the News Tribune for the 40th Annual Christmas Home Decorating Contest. Whether you’re a first-timer or returning participant, you can compete to win in one of the six contest categories or enter just for fun to be included on the Christmas Lights Tour map. Every entry helps brighten our community, and if you prefer, only your address — not your name — will be listed on the map.
