With Christmas just around the corner, a number of residents have given their homes a holiday makeover to make spirits and their streets bright.

This year, there are returning favourites,including a number of homes that are raising funds for charity, and some new addresses that are all worth a visit.

In order to make the Christmas lights tour a bit easier to navigate, Peace Arch News has compiled a sampling of some of the holiday homes in and around the area.

So, grab your GPS, a scarf and some hot cocoa and get illuminated in the days ahead:

2958 147A St.: What began as a single, inflatable snowman in 2006 has turned into a front lawn chock-full of festive decor. Real estate agent Neil Higgins has told Peace Arch News in the past that favourite piece is his Home Depot stock car, modeled after the car NASCAR driver Tony Stewart used to drive.

15499 22 Ave.: Ken and Bonnie Fletcher have once again heralded the holiday season with their fantastic display of lights. In past years, the dizzying display has also included push-button toys in the familys decorated garage. Keeping with their tradition, the family will be collecting donations for Sources White Rock/South Surrey food bank.

16956 60A Ave.: The Kinna family in Cloverdale is back with their holiday display and will be collecting funds for the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Cloverdales Karen Wagner and her family once again have their home decked out for the season and will be collecting donations for the Canadian Cancer Societys Relay For Life.The lights were officially switched on Dec. 1 the day Wagner lost her dad to cancer more than 35 years ago and will stay lit from 6-10 p.m. through Dec. 31 at 19056 63B Ave. Hot chocolate, coffee and candy canes will be available Friday to Sunday.
