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.

It was only natural to bring his passion for Christmas light displays to the community. Starting with a charitable house display, Johannessen Lights has blossomed to hundreds of homes, HOA's, businesses and communities across 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. Demanding only the best, brightest and most creative products available, Johannessen Lights transforms the everyday into extraordinary winter wonderlands.
