π¨π Paint the most famous Christmas house on earth β Lincoln Avenue on a snowy December evening βοΈ
A quiet residential street in a leafy Chicago suburb. Stately red-brick colonial homes lining both sides of the block, every window glowing warm honey gold, Christmas wreaths hung on every pane. Tall bare oaks arching overhead heavy with snow. Wrought-iron streetlamps casting soft cones of gold onto an undisturbed blanket of white. And in the middle of it all β that Georgian red-brick colonial you know at first glance, warm windows blazing, wreath on the door, a single black Cadillac in the driveway. This is that scene β captured as a paint-by-numbers you get to bring back to life, one number at a time, until every brick, every window and every falling snowflake is yours.
Slow down. Pour a hot cocoa (or a mulled wine π·). Let the brush do the rest. Paint it digitally on your iPad, or print it and paint it on canvas β your choice, both work, both are included.

π A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Winnetka is one of the oldest and most storybook suburbs on Chicago's North Shore β a quiet, tree-lined village of grand colonials and Tudors built along Lake Michigan in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Lincoln Avenue runs through the heart of the historic district, lined with the kind of stately red-brick and white-trim homes that generations of Americans have grown up dreaming about.
In 1989, a location scout drove down this exact block looking for the perfect all-American family house for a Christmas movie about a boy left behind at home. He found number 671 β a 1920s Georgian-Colonial with red brick, white multi-pane windows and a wide central door β and filmed one of the most beloved holiday films of all time on and around this street. Today the house still stands on the same block, still red brick, still with that unmistakable silhouette, and every December fans from all over the world drive past to see it dressed for Christmas.
You're not just painting a house. You're painting the most beloved Christmas street in cinema.
