Two Toronto homes team up to create epic holiday display

It's the most wonderful time of the year which means it's time to decorate your home with lights and festive decor. These two Toronto homes have taken it one step further and have teamed up to create an epic holiday display.

Located at Brenyon Way in Scarborough, the duo known as Decorate Brenyon Way have been decorating their homes together since 2010 to spread some holiday cheer to the neighbourhood.

If you want to check out the epic holiday homes, head to 226 and 228 Brenyon Way from sunset to 10:30 p.m. every night.

Out of respect for their neighbours, they ask visitors to come during those hours only and to remain on the sidewalk or the paths of their homes.
