Scottsdale/Arcadia Christmas Light Guide
Y’all went wild on my Instagram for these, so I’m posting it here! I’ve been going to a few of these houses for a long time and they keep getting better every year! A few are newer, but definitely worth going to.
This whole night took from 6pm-10pm including dinner at Chelsea’s Kitchen after the first address. I would definitely hit up the ones on the list with activities earlier in the evening, as they might shut down earlier for the night.
Make sure to donate! This stuff takes a lot of time, energy, and effort and brings joy to thousands of people like you every year!
Stop 1: 4415 E. Calle Tuberia Phoenix, AZ 85018
This one is in the Arcadia neighborhood on 40th and Camelback. They have a huge light display, hot chocolate and Christmas goodies for sale, and you can walk around their front yard and look at their window displays of Santas, trains, and Christmas towns.
Stop 2: 8414 E . Valley Vista Dr. Scottsdale, AZ 85250
I have been going to this one since middle school and it gets better every year! I’m still amazed at it. They have a light show in the front yard, hot chocolate, lots of light and toy displays, and a mine maze that takes you to the backyard to see the abonimable snowman and Rudolph.
Stop 3: 8607 E. Via del Palacio Scottsdale, AZ 85258
This house is just a drive-by. It has lots of lights that go to the music. Still really fun, and it’s on the way to the next stop!
Stop 4: 11330 N. Sundown Dr. Scottsdale, AZ 85260
THIS ONE WAS THE BEST HOUSE I’VE EVER BEEN TO! I’m not lying when I say I actually cried real tears like a kid hahha. It has a beautiful display out front, and if you walk up their driveway you can ride on a mini rollercoaster that goes into their garage and takes you through different Christmas themed rooms! It was so magical.
Stop 5: 11802 N 55th St. Scottsdale, AZ 85254
This one is a cul de sac where everyone is really in the spirit – no music or anything, but if you’re in the area it’s worth a drive-by.
