Holiday Lights

See how Cobb EMC is making this holiday season merry and bright. 

Every year, we team up with Cobb EMC members who compete for your vote for the best light display. We invite you and your family to experience the joy of the holiday season and the spirit of giving by visiting all of the homes and voting in our holiday lights contest.

Kick off the holiday season with us! Join us December 1 from 6:30–7 p.m. in the Solar Flower Garden as we celebrate the launch of our Holiday Lights Map. Explore the map, visit festive displays throughout the community and vote for your favorites through midnight on December 26.

2026 12 Days of Giving 

Our community is at the heart of what we do. We’re working for you to make your holidays a little bit brighter. Every holiday season, we highlight 12 different initiatives that make a difference in the communities we serve. From memories made around the table to laughs enjoyed with the ones who matter most, we’re always here when you need us.
