Edison Christmas FAQ
Edison’s biggest holiday events include neighborhood light displays and local craft fairs, with larger-scale attractions like Winter WonderLights available just a short drive away in East Brunswick.
Edison is known for its community-driven light displays and festive home decorations, creating a warm, neighborhood-focused holiday atmosphere. Residents often take pride in transforming their streets into winter wonderlands.
Residential areas throughout Edison participate in holiday decorating, but there’s no single “best” neighborhood—exploring different streets can reveal hidden gems and creative displays.
Look for holiday markets and craft fairs at local schools, community centers, and churches. For a wider selection, nearby towns host larger artisan markets with local vendors and seasonal goods.
Walking tours of neighborhood light displays are completely free, and many local markets have no admission fee. Visiting nearby parks or attending community tree-lighting ceremonies are also affordable ways to celebrate.
Families will enjoy strolling through decorated neighborhoods, visiting local craft fairs, and attending holiday storytimes or visits with Santa. For a special outing, consider a drive to nearby light shows or holiday villages.
