Candy Cane Lane

I loved all the decorations and lights. I took my kids to see it and they were so amazed! I didn’t expect so many people to be there. It was so crowded. I figured out the hard way, a stroller is really a Hassel in large crowds like this. Maneuvering was difficult, but overall a nice experience

This was my 1^st time coming here and it didn’t disappoint. Sadly it was raining so the setups with model trains weren’t running. Very nice that the street is blocked off so you don’t have to worry about oncoming cars.

This was our 1^st Yr going, I took my God daughter to see the lights. We got there around 9 PM and we went on a Wednesday (Suppodsely it was the «last» day according to other Unilocalers), so i had to make sure we went.
When you arrive: parking is kind of tricky but we found a spot not to far away and within a reasonable time (You will have to walk regardless it sits on a cul-​de-​sac & you can’t drive through).
There are a few blocks with lights before getting to candy cane lane they are nice to but candy cane lane is where it’s at! Lol ALL of the houses are decorated with a massive amount of décor and lights they also have a santa in a sleigh towards the end.
This is great for kids or couples as a night out, we loved it and plan on making it a thing we do yearly!

I love candy cane lane so one time I went to candy cane lane and it was beautiful and cool how they do all the lighting and some of them are cute and funny. But the bad thing is that there is a lot of people there so it’s hard to find parking and it’s a very easy place to get lost at. But I do recommend you going to candy cane lane.

Really great place to visit during the holidays if you don’t want to spend money! These neighborhood is very nice (and safe since there are police there to make sure everything is ok) and very well decorated! Thank you to all the families that spent so much time and money to make the holidays better!

The photos aren’t even from the same place!
I’ve been bamboozled!
How dare the Internet lie to me!!!

This has become our yearly tradition to get out there with the kids and enjoy the Christmas lights. One would never have guessed this tucked-​away cul-​de-​sac near the airport unless you heard about it. Park a block or two away and hot cocoa or cider in hand, meander your way to ‘Candy Cane Lane’ by following the crowd. Kids friendly and there’s even Santa on certain nights waiting at the end of the road to take pictures with on his sleigh. Grab a mini candy cane from his cheery elf on your way out to check out more lights on your way back out.
Each house is nicely decorated, some more extravagant than others but all had a personal and creative touch! (see pics posted). A couple was at their front gate, making balloon figures for a donation — kids seem to love it. There’s even an outdoor movie theatre playing some classic Xmas movie. It’s not the biggest Xmas streets lights but nor is it the most crowded. Plus not far to drive for the locals on the Westside. Not too bad of a tradeoff and we’ll continue coming back year after year.

So well worth the stop to Candy cane lane loved it. Stop by see for yourself. Bring coffee or hot chocolate with you. Merry christmas.

Last night I came here with my mom to see some Christmas lights. It was a very festive atmosphere where everyone was in the Christmas spirit. This was my first time coming here because it was the first time I heard of its existence… which is crazy since I’ve lived in the South Bay all my life. My mom suggested we go look at some Christmas lights, I saw one of my friends check in here so I looked it up, saw the great reviews, and came down here. We stopped at Starbucks before coming because Starbucks makes it even more fun! It’s great for kids because Santa is there and also it’s not too long. I was only there for about 20 minutes but I enjoyed my time there. I would’ve had better pics if my phone wasn’t dying.

I decided to take the trek over here after hearing the buzz this year. (Should I keep rhymin?) I definitely should’ve Unilocaled it before hand. :(Candy Cane Lane is a cul-​de-​sac that is closed to vehicle traffic and there is an insane amount of vehicle traffic. Due to these unforeseen conditions we decided to admire it from the car. Though now I regret not taking it all in.
Best advice I have is be prepared to sit in your car for 30 minutes on any of the surrounding streets while looking for a place to park or park a bit further away and walk. Take the family and make a night of it, all the kids out there were crapping themselves with excitement.
That particular cul-​de-​sac is where the action is centered but the neighborhood has a lot of other nice displays as you creep up to the main event.
PSA — There are A LOT of people walking in the streets, getting in and out of their cars, most with young children and strollers… Drive careful.

4.5 Stars
My family had a much better experience this year. We actually were able to leisurely enjoy each home and take in the sites. The difference? We went on a Wednesday night right at dusk. Because of this, some of the homes did not have their lights on. It was well WORTH missing a few homes to avoid terrible parking and a thick crowd. Earlier for those of us with toddlers seems to be the key.
I found many of the homes very lovely. I appreciate how much effort is put into these decorations and how the home owners allow us to enjoy. Please don’t be «those parent» who allow their kids to trespass on people’s properties and mess around with their expensive decorations. I was aghast at witnessing this atrocious behavior by parents. Most of the houses on this street are probably fenced off for just this reason.
It was fun that each home had it’s own flavor. A few of the houses do not go all out, but they all had a little something in front.

so yeah, there are plenty of places in L.A. to check out Christmas lights, so competition can be stiff. what CC Lane El Segundo has going for it is the lack of hectic-​ness and friendly atmosphere. that «only one block» is really long, and it’s a cul-​de-​sac. you can take your time enjoying the hard work of every neighbour on this block, and if you have Tiny Humans with you, you can let them run in the street without anxiety since the whole block is closed to traffic. parking is not that hard to find, and besides, other houses nearby also get into the spirit so you can enjoy that! apparently on weekends there is a Santa in a sleigh. the homeowners are generally really friendly and are happy to see so many people enjoying their efforts. some yards have themes; others project Christmas movies in the yard.
protip for the Tiny Humans crowd: go right before it gets completely dark; you will be able to start enjoying the houses that light up early with barely anyone else there. by the time you are starting to get ready to leave, most homeowners will be back from work, most of the block will be lit, and the crowds will start to arrive. well, actually, it’s never that crowded which is worth the 5 stars alone. a wonderful yearly tradition especially for Westsiders! thank you Candy Cane Lane!

Candy Cane Lane remind me like Hasting Ranch Christmas Lane in Pasadena but is better organized and more focus in one area. Every house was very well decorated, at top they also have a Santa Greeting section as well. Which make it completed. There was a bit of people but isn’t too bad. There were pretty of parking in surround area.
So close to the Airport, make a must visit if you in the area. This would be a nice treat for those who just land the airport.

FYI… this year it’s open from 7pm to 9pm through December 23^rd. Check the city of El Segundo website to see what nights Santa is there because he’s not there every night.

Our 1^st time here. I really loved it. Every house was deced out. It was great. I liked the walk. It was better then being in the car. It’s harder to see in the car cause traffic has to keep moving. It’s not like the one in Valencia but this place sure was great. A+ in my book. They have the street blocked but it wasn’t hard to find parking. They have Santa at the end of the street and hot cocoa but we missed that. Once house had a movie theme playing a Christmas movie. The experience was great and it’s a great place to come to see great lights and set ups of Christmas.
Lights were still on when we were leaving at 9:45pm. Thank you Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo for your time in doing this for the community.

Whew! Finally something very positive to reflect on!!! Like some of the reviewers previously stated, it’s only one block of Christmas lights and decorations, but it’s so worth checking out! And even more so, if your already familiar with the city of El Segundo. Enough said.
Actually, the one block or «Candy Cane Lane» as it’s known during Christmas time appears to have unofficially extended; When driving off Center Street and turning onto Acacia, driving down you’ll see almost most homes are all lit and decorated! Once you get near the end or towards the cul de sac, you’ll see that it’s blocked off. Obviously so one can walk and enjoy it, especially for those with little ones :) Those houses put a lot of energy and care into every detail of creativity when it comes to decorating! And it’s not those boring Christmas inflatables that some people throw on their lawns and plug in with a timer. A lot of heart goes into it, it’s like walking back in time when people back in the day used to take their time, put their thoughts, hearts and souls into it.
And yes, that is Santa Claus there with a line of kiddies waiting to say hi and tell him their Christmas list.
One of great few things to enjoy that the city of El Segundo (and those residents) do for the community and holidays!

Love going here, great experience for us and kids, wish there were more houses to see lit up like the ones down this street. Plan on taking the kids this year again!

Went last year and plan to go again this year my son is 4 so he enjoys the lights.

This was sooo much fun! The boyfriend and I brought my friends little boy here to give his parents some free time to unpack some items.
Its located in a coldasack which makes it nice and easy to block off and allow the kids to walk around the neighborhood without any fears for cars.
Most of the houses participated in the neighborhood which was nice. I really love christmas lights, even for being a jew :)

If you have kids who still believe in Santa and if you don’t mind getting bundled up and walking a bit, this is a great place for you to take your family to see some very nice Christmas lights.
Leading up to Christmas, they have an area at the end of the cul de sac where kids can meet Santa to talk about their Christmas wishes.
They block off the street so you can feel comfortable about walking around. The street area is dark (they turn off the street lights so you can get the full effect of the Christmas lights) so watch your step or bring a small flashlight for those tricky curbs.
Expect to take at least 30 minutes, longer if your kids like to stare and point and tell you about their favorite characters who are placed throughout the displays.
Hope you enjoy it and… Merry Christmas!!!
