  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

The Ultimate Guide to Brisbane’s Most Spectacular Christmas Lights

Last updated: November 27, 2025
2025 Christmas light display at 211 Benhiam Street, Calamvale.

Many Brisbane families light up their houses at Christmas but a select few go above and beyond, and we would like to highlight these displays so our loyal followers can go and see what all the fuss is about.

Our curated list of Brisbane’s top Christmas light displays represents the pinnacle of festive brilliance, chosen for their extraordinary creativity, community spirit, and sheer visual impact, guaranteed to put a smile on everyoneโ€™s faces.

Displays are generally on nightly at the specified times, though weather and personal circumstances may affect this. Please be respectful of the owners decisions. A lot of effort and money goes into these displays. Happy light hunting. 

Brisbane’s Most Spectacular Christmas Lights 

Without further ado, please enjoy our personal favourites and the most spectacular  (in our opinion) Christmas Lights in Brisbane for 2025 (in no particular order).

211 Benhiam Street, Calamvale
