East Cobb home holiday decorations 2022

Starting Friday and continuing into the new year is one of East Cobb’s most notable neighborhood holiday lights displays.

The Fox Family of the Clary Lakes subdivision in Northeast Cobb will be turning on a dazzling array of lights, accompanied and synchronized by music and even an animated skating pond.

The display, which takes about a month to put together and test, runs through Jan. 7, which is the Orthodox Christmas (resident Karen Fox is Greek Orthodox).

The hours are from 6-11 p.m. at the Fox home at 2994 Clary Hill Court (accessible via McPherson Road, just north of Post Oak Tritt Road; see map below).

This is the 16th year for the display, and Fox said that Santa will make visits on Friday and/or Saturday evenings beginning Dec. 10, weather permitting.

The weather could be an issue as the display gets underway, with a wet weekend in store. Fox said on a social media posting Thursday that “we are hoping to be at about 90 percent ready [Friday] evening, weather permitting. We will not put out any of our vintage items that can’t get wet if it is raining.”

She said a Facebook page dedicated to the display is providing weather and scheduling updates, including a playlist of the music that visitors can listen to in their cars on 88.3FM. Here’s what you’ll hear this year:

1. Amazing Grace-Yule
2. Christmas Canon-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
3. Christmas Eve Sarajevo-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
4. Deck the Halls-Mannheim Steamroller
5. Let It Snow-Dean Martin
6. Light of Christmas-Owl City
7. Little Drummer Boy-King and Country
8. Mad Russian Christmas – Trans-Siberian Orchestra
9. Miracle on 34th Street Overture-Bruce Broughton
10. Linus and Lucy-Vince Guaraldi
11. Queen of the Winter Night-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
12. Sleigh Ride-The Ronettes
13. Wizard in Winter-Trans-Siberian Orchestra
14. Candy Cane Lane-Sia
15. Merry Christmas-Ed Sheehan & Elton John

The Fox display has been nominated in the current Home Holiday Hunt competition through Dec. 27.
