Give Me The Mike has released its 2020 Minnesota Holiday Lights Display Guide featuring more than 80 Christmas light displays across Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Former TV producer and on-air personality Mike Marcotte has been putting together a holiday light display guide since 2017, and each year it has gotten bigger.
“I love compiling the list every year,” Marcotte said in a statement. “It keeps growing and growing! It’s fun to see the homeowners’ displays grow and change each year, too.”

This year, more than half of the shows have 10,000 or more lights on display, and many of the shows are free to attend.
“Many of the shows listed are run by homeowners and are free of charge,” Marcotte said in a statement. “Looking at holiday lights from your vehicle is a fun, socially-distant, and relatively inexpensive activity.”
