Orlando Holiday Lights

Eric Johannessen, Creative Director/Owner of "Head Elf" and "Creative Director", loves Christmas, his family and creating memories for a lifetime. Because he wanted to create lifetime memories for his young children, he started decorating his home in Winter Park for Christmas starting in 2011. In 2016, his desire to make his decorations bigger and brighter each year led him to create a display that was so large and bright it was featured on ABC's "The Great Christmas Light Fight". Eric and his family welcome over 250,000 people to their home every season, making it the best and biggest light display in Central Florida.

Taking his passion for Christmas lights to the community was a natural progression. Johannessen Lights began as a charitable home display and has grown to include hundreds of homes, HOAs, businesses, and communities in Central Florida.

Eric Johannessen, his design team and their holiday light installation are not your average installers. They are passionate about creating enchanting, awe-inspiring lighting installations for the holidays. Johannessen Lights transforms everyday spaces into winter wonderlands by using only the brightest, most creative and best-quality products.
