Outdoor Holiday Lighting Ideas

Delight guests and neighbors with outdoor lighting that conveys the joy of the season.

Home with icicle lights, Christmas trees, wreath, reindeer.

Accent Architecture

A brick home with white icicle lights along a roofline.

Play up your home’s features, such as bay windows, eaves and roof edges, with icicle lights to lend whimsy and winter charm.

Trim Tree Trunks and Shrubs

A front yard with multiple Christmas trees and a Nativity scene with white lights.

Light the trunk and branches of trees. Start at the bottom and spiral the lights around. Use single-color strands for a design wallop. Also, cover bushes and shrubs quickly and easily with net lights.

Warm Up Walkways

A front porch with a dog yard decoration, a Christmas tree and candy cane path lights.

Take advantage of shimmering path lights and stakes to give your Christmas scene depth.

Novelty Lights

A front porch with a Santa and Rudolph covered in white lights.

You aren’t only limited to traditional white and colored string lights. Snowflake and other novelty lighting can add a special touch.
