Over the past few years the competition between homes, streets and suburbs has increased, and the Christmas light drive is a hallowed tradition, for big and little kids alike.

To help plan your trip (and minimise back-seat whinging) we've started a map of the best-lit streets in town.

The hot-pink star symbols on our map show the streets that should shoot to the top of your must-see list.

And if you'd like to spread a little extra cheer this Christmas, the light show at 8 Peak Avenue is raising funds to support a local family with a sick child.

We've only just begun - if you have a Christmas light hot-spot we need to include, send us a letter.
