Captain Miller is the muscle behind the 12 Homes of Christmas. He’s the one who does all the heavy lifting and most of the physical work to make the show run. He was diagnosed with stage IIIB colon cancer on Dec 30, 2025 (during show season). Please keep him in your prayers! We need him to be strong and healthy to make this possible. ❤️‍🩹

THANK YOU!!!

Because of your incredible generosity, this year’s light show raised an unbelievable $18,652.53 for our community!

✨ $5,554.00 (plus a BUNCH of toys!) went to the Farmington Police Department - Minnesota for their “Toys For Town” program

✨ $13,098.53 and 4,847 POUNDS of food were donated to the Farmington Food Shelf (360 Communities)

This far exceeded anything we could have imagined, and it’s all thanks to the kindness, support, and generosity of our neighbors and everyone who came out to visit. 💛

A huge thank you to David Peterlinz and KARE 11 News for featuring our cul-de-sac and helping spread the word — the crowds (and donations!) truly showed up! 🤩

We are so grateful and so humbled. Thank you for making this season so special. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

🎶 Please enjoy this video of the song we submitted for this year’s nationwide light show competition 🤞

🚓✨ When lights attract… more lights ✨🚓

Last night we had some extra sparkle in the cul-de-sac when officers from the Farmington Police Department - Minnesota along with Chief Nate Siem stopped by—squad cars glowing and all—to grab a few photos with The 12 Homes of Christmas and our synchronized display.

This season, our show helped support Toys For Town. This program—organized by our local police department—helps ensure children in our community experience the joy of the holidays, no matter their circumstances. We’re proud that our lights can help shine a little brighter on something that truly matters.

✨ Toys For Town is now complete for 2025 ✨
As we wrap that chapter, our collection focus has shifted to donations for the Farmington Food Shelf (operated by 360 Communities), helping local families through the rest of the winter season.

We are officially wrapping up donations for the Farmington Police Department - Minnesota annual Toys For Town toy drive, and we are beyond grateful for every single person who visited our light show and gave so generously.

Because of you:
🎁 Two SUVs were filled with toys and games
💵 $5,555 was donated — with 100% going directly to the Farmington Police Department for Toys For Town

Those donations mean children receiving toys, games, soft huggable stuffed animals, and families being supported with meals during the holiday season. Today, we were honored to help wrap and distribute those gifts alongside so many incredible volunteers from our community — truly the best kind of day.

And now… our season of giving continues. ❤️

From now through January 1st, our focus turns to collecting donations for the Farmington Food Shelf, supporting local families through 360 Communities. We invite you to visit the light show, enjoy the holiday magic, and help us show just how big Farmington’s heart really is.
