Is Candy Cane Lane Based On A Real Place? Eddie Murphy Movie Inspiration Explained

Eddie Murphy’s Candy Cane Lane is set on a street where Christmas lights are taken to an extreme level, and the film’s writer, Kelly Younger, based this location on a real-world slice of holiday spirit. The Prime Video movie features a massive decorating contest and centers around a particularly magical lawn ornament that brings “The Twelve Days of Christmas” to life. Though the real Candy Cane Lane doesn’t involve vengeful elves and runaway Lords a-Leaping (or $100,000 prizes), it is an actual place that Christmas lovers can visit.
