If you’re in Mahomet or the surrounding area and looking for professional Christmas lights next year, I recommend Son of a Nutcracker Lights. We are very happy with our experience. Pricing was very reasonable, the lights looked great, and Braden was responsive, communicative, and professional. We’re very happy we found Son of a Nutcracker Lights!
Joel wanted a clean, professional lighting setup with fair pricing and zero hassle. He wanted great-looking lights and clear communication—he got both.
