Website to help you find the decorated houses:
We recently heard about a website that shows you where the best holiday-decorated houses are.
According to the people who started the website: “We’re spreading the word to all St. Louisans eager for a little holiday spirit and inspiration, and for those who simply want to have a fun night out cruising St. Louis neighborhoods enjoying the beautiful Christmas and Halloween lights that add sparkle and warmth to a cold night.
It’s great fun to pack the kids into the car—or friends, family and grandma—along with a thermos of hot chocolate and candy canes, and spend special time together during the holiday season. Maybe even make a surprise stop at Ted Drewes.

St. Louis Hills
Candy Cane Lane- The suggested address to put in your GPS is:
6500 Murdoch
St. Louis, MO 63109
“Candy Cane Lane” has been a St. Louis tradition for years. Several of the streets in the St. Louis Hills area change their names during the Christmas Season. There is Candy Cane Lane which is Murdoch. Llama Lane is Donovan and all of the nearby streets have joined in. There is also Snowflake Avenue and Angel Street.”
Residents decorate their homes and it is a throwback to years ago when families would “drive around and look at Christmas lights.” Candy Cane Lane is a fun place to take the family– and you can end up at Ted Drewes which is nearby. It’s all free, but donations—which will be used for charities—are encouraged
