GTA 5 Christmas Lights Mod — Holiday Decorations for San Andreas 2026

Christmas Lights Mod — Illuminate Los Santos with Holiday Spirit

The Christmas Lights Mod for GTA 5 adds thousands of festive string lights, illuminated displays, and glowing decorations across the entire San Andreas map. Unlike basic Christmas prop mods, this modification focuses specifically on lighting — transforming the nighttime cityscape into a dazzling display of holiday illumination. Every major street in Los Santos features colorful light strings, while Blaine County towns get their own charming small-town holiday lighting.

Lighting Features

String lights in red, green, gold, blue, and multicolor variations wrap around lampposts, building facades, trees, and highway overpasses throughout the city. Illuminated displays including light-up snowflakes, stars, candy canes, and Santa silhouettes appear on major buildings and intersections. Residential areas feature house-by-house decorations with roofline lights, yard displays, and illuminated pathways — creating authentic neighborhood holiday lighting that looks stunning during nighttime drives.

Dynamic Lighting Effects

The lights feature realistic behavior — they turn on automatically at dusk and off at dawn, creating a natural day-night cycle for the decorations. Some light strings include twinkling and chasing patterns, while others maintain steady illumination. The mod also adds subtle ambient light color bleeding to nearby surfaces, making the decorations cast realistic colored glows on snow, pavement, and buildings.

Map Coverage

Decorations span the entire map: Downtown Los Santos and Vinewood Boulevard feature the most elaborate displays, Del Perro Pier has a complete holiday lighting overhaul, Sandy Shores and Paleto Bay receive small-town charm decorations, and even the highway system connecting cities has periodic light installations on bridges and overpasses.

Installation

Install using OpenIV into your mods folder. The mod adds new map data entries for light props, so a custom gameconfig with increased entity limits is recommended. Compatible with snow mods, LSPDFR, and all major graphics enhancements. Pair with the Winter Mod Complete and Christmas Decorations Script for the ultimate holiday GTA 5 experience.
