TW Shine Mini String Lights

These classic mini string lights are available in 12 colors, including the classic red and green and warm white. They’re rated IP44 waterproof (a.k.a. protected from rain and snow),  so it’s no surprise they’re Amazon’s number one best-selling outdoor string lights. Each 20-foot strand has 100 lights, and you can connect up to five strings together. 

They’re “whimsical, and bright” according to one shopper, who loves the “pop of warm white glow.” Another shopper said they were “easy to spread” around their fence.

Dazzle Bright Jumbo Snowflake Lights

A set of sparkling snowflakes are a fun alternative to icicle lights, especially if you intend to hang them on your porch or windowsills. Each 8.5-foot strand has alternating large and small snowflakes that glow in warm white. You can also connect up to four sets, expanding your snowflake display up to a whopping 35 feet. The snowflakes also have a tangle-free design and stack on top of one another for easy storage. 

Despite the delicate look, the snowflakes are actually weatherproof and waterproof. “They have held up in winds, rain, and ice,” confirmed one reviewer.

Ksipze Bluetooth LED Light Strand

Create a dazzling light show with this 100-foot Bluetooth RGB light strand, which displays 16 million colors and syncs to music. You can customize settings through its companion app, which offers flashing, jumping, and fade modes at different speeds. Its adhesive backing lies flat on surfaces, making it easy to install around fireplaces, mantles, or behind furniture. When the holidays are over, you can repurpose the strand as accent lighting.

One shopper was “thrilled” the setup was “a breeze,” and the lights “completely transformed” their room with colors that are “incredibly bright and vivid.” 

Dazzle Bright Cascading Tree Lights

It’s no secret that wrapping Christmas lights around your tree can be a pain — but these cascading lights solve the problem. All you need to do is position the ring over the tree top, then spread out the 16 strands of warm LED lights. And there’s more to love: They have a built-in timer function, four brightness levels, and five light show modes. Plus, it’s IP44 waterproof, so you can even use them outside. 

The setup is simple, and one reviewer said that it “took less than two minutes — literally — to put lights on my tree.” Another reviewer wrote the lights were an “inexpensive” solution to replacing burned-out bulbs on their pre-lit artificial tree, saving them “$200+ around Christmas.”
