Updated: The Glitziest Displays Of Holiday Spirit In The Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — It's the most wonderful time of the year, and there are few better ways to celebrate than by driving around the neighborhood and seeing the festively decorated homes.

Patch and T-Mobile are partnering to help compile a list of lights around the Hudson Valley that deserve a drive-by.

So if you want to see the best lights in our villages, towns and hamlets, check out the list below.

The list will be updated throughout the holiday season.

The best and the brightest in the Hudson Valley:

The company behind NYC's grandest holiday displays is again hosting "Holiday Lane at American Christmas" in their Westchester workshop.

And finally, here’s a recommendation from the town of Southeast: Go see Morningthorpe Manor, the castle at 100 Turk Hill Rd. It was built by Seth B. Howes (1815-1901) who was a famous circus businessman. It is now the home of the Delancey Street Foundation, a residential self-help organization, which restored the rundown property in 1980 and outlines the house in lights at Christmas.
