Manhattan Beach is a holiday-light-filled wonderland, according to City Council members who announced the winners of its holiday lights competition on Tuesday night.

The top three winners were: 

First place: "Candy Cane Court" - a collective effort at Catalina Court in Manhattan Village

Second place: 1336 Voorhees Avenue (See lead photo above)

Third Place: 1508 8th Street

The three winning households took home prizes of city swag and a commendation from the city, plus bragging rights until 2024.

Other homes honored included:

601 N. Rowell Avenue

801 N. Peck Avenue

301 S. Dianthus

1220 2nd Street

1230 5th Street

525 15th Street

1541 8th Street

Is it a coincidence that all but two of the homes are in East Manhattan Beach? That sounds like a direct challenge to the homes West of Sepulveda. Stay tuned for next year...
