The Best Christmas Lights in Salem County —

The holidays are here! Grab a hot chocolate, pile the family in that car & let’s go for a ride!

Pennsville

Pennsville is generally very festive for the holidays, but there are some noteworthy stops in town.

13 E Pittsfield St., Pennsville

I would be remiss to not mention this incredible house. From the tractor trailer on the roof to the holiday classic movies you can watch while listening in your car, it’s one not to miss!

110 Penn Beach Dr., Pennsville

This stretch of street is a hit for kids, but 110 is the centerpiece. This house has a ton of wooden character cutouts all over the lawn — perfect for little kids!

Salem

Salem’s downtown is SO FESTIVE! Most storefronts are decorated & it just transforms me to the holidays of yesteryear.

274 Grant St., Salem

Dave Buehler is the king of Christmas in Salem. His light display and love of the community is truly inspirational. He’s using his home as a stop to drop off letters to Santa (be sure to include your address!) and a drop off for new toys for Mom Squad, a local program under the umbrella of Stand Up For Salem. He also leaves candy canes out for everyone to enjoy. When swinging by, keep an eye out! Santa & Mrs. Claus like to hang around this spot for pictures!

75 Wild Oaks Dr., Salem

Now, don’t be alarmed by the sign for the golf course that’s for sale — you’re in the right spot! Continue down this long, dark road for a real treat! Bring your letters for Santa, tune into their radio station, & ENJOY! Wow!

Mannington

Nestled just on the outskirts of Salem, Mannington has some really beautiful colonial homes.

28 Newell Rd., Mannington

Though not as massive of a display of others, the lights create a beautiful display. It’s a great stop to fuel the kids while on topic way to Woodstown!

Woodstown

Main Street in Woodstown is beautifully lit. The homes along Main are just spectacular — for kids & grown ups, alike.

16 Lee St., Woodstown

This house is small, but mighty. There’s a lot to take in & a great stop for the kids!

Pilesgrove

Just up the road from Woodstown, sits an incredible corner lot at Route 45 & Lincoln. This place will blow the adults away with the detail. Photos cannot do it justice.

Pittsgrove

Pittsgrove has my two most visited places for our family, along with some awesome sights along the way!

182 Porchtown Rd., Pittsgrove

I mean, Lawlor Lights is theeeeeee place to visit! Pull in the driveway, turn off your headlights, turn on their radio station & prepare yourself for several trips around their driveway. Be sure to bring a toy, food donation, or drop a cash donation to help local families in need!

1410 Centerton Rd., Pittsgrove

This house started it all for us. It is a Christmas must for us! My kids love waving to the Santa in the window & ask for it every time we are in them car at night. Feel free to pull into the driveway & drive around- lights off, of course!
