T’is the season and The Hits Christmas Light Trail has swung into action just in time to get you in the festive spirit.

This year, 65 households have decked the halls and adorned the decks to put on glittering street displays stretching from Paengaroa to Waihī for the annual event, sponsored by Tremains Real Estate.

Gather the family and head out to see all the houses on the trail from 8pm until 11pm every night until Christmas - all the addresses are below.

Once you’ve adventured out to view the houses, get voting for your favourite home.

Thanks to Bethlehem Town Centre, we have prizes for the best new entrant as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd placings for the People’s Choice.
