Any ideas on the best streets/houses/neighborhoods to drive by and see big Christmas light displays? Looking to see some big displays as a fun activity for our toddler. Ideally looking for places nearby West Roxbury/Roslindale.

Not the "best" but perfect for kids. Go to Garfield Rd in Dedham. Huge light display in a residential backyard that has been going on for years. They let you walk around their yard and sometimes have hot chocolate out. I think they even have a day where Santa comes. It's free but they have a donation box at the entrance.
There's also a house in Hyde Park on Meadowview near the dead end that has a legit professional lights display on the front of the whole house. It's like one of those videos where the lights sync to some shit like Party Rock Anthem, tho I don't think this place has music synced up.
Not sure if they are up and running yet (moved out of the city) but they were there last year.
Edit: Tyndale St in Roslindale is also decked out every year. We used to park next to Fallon Field and walk Tyndale with kids

Otis Street in Somerville is fantastic if you have a car to drive around with. Otherwise, they do tours! Here are some great options
