Christmas Lights Competition

It's time to get festive in the South Burnett and light up for Christmas

The South Burnett Christmas Spirit initiative consists of three categories with Santa Claus Lane, Santa’s Workshop and the Christmas Cottage category which allows lone residences to be eligible for judging.

Judging will take place from Friday 5 December to Sunday 14 December 2025, so make sure your display is shining brightly during this period.

Thank you to sponsors Ken Mills Toyota and Burnett Today.

Santa Clause Lane and Christmas Cottage (open to all South Burnett Residents)

Registration is mandatory for your street to be in the running to win the title of Santa Claus Lane and to be featured in the South Burnett Santa Claus Lane Christmas Lights Display 2025 map which will be available in South Burnett Today on Thursday 11 December 2025 and Council’s Website.

Santa Claus Lane will be judged based on the cooperation of the houses in the same street for participation and the Christmas Cottage is for individual houses. As part of the entry form, entrants are asked to enclose up to one A4 page detailing why the houses in your street should be identified as the winner of Santa Claus Lane. Up to 3 members of the street should be added as contacts to the entry form. This is all about working together as a team, so your entry must talk about how you’ve collaborated to create your display.
