We've prowled hundreds of miles to find the best Christmas houses, streets and pro displays in Salt Lake County for our 2025 map.
Last year, we found more than 140 dazzling locations, from Frosty's Winter Wonderland in the Avenues to the choreographed light show at Herriman's Triple Crown Christmas.
We'll mark displays confirmed for 2025 with red ornaments throughout December and add new ones to the map. Click on the icons to see the photos.
- We've found more than 100 already!
