Unbounded Creativity: The "Most Creative" category invites participants to unleash their imagination and push the boundaries of traditional holiday light displays. This category celebrates innovation, artistry, and out-of-the-box thinking, encouraging contestants to incorporate unconventional materials, interactive elements, and unexpected themes into their Christmas light creations.
