Searching for a magical mid-Michigan Christmas adventure you can enjoy from the comfort of your nice, warm car?
A driving tour of the best-decorated Christmas houses is just the ticket.
We made our list and we checked it twice! Check out these must-see, best-of-the-best, lit up for the Christmas houses in Lansing.

Greater Lansing residents have shown up in a big way with their Christmas light displays.
And we’re not just talking lights strung on some bushes. Some of these houses are whole productions set to their own radio station with lights that “dance” along to the music.
Make sure to be courteous and respectful of neighbors when visiting neighborhood light displays. Follow traffic rules and make sure to turn off your headlights when parked.
