With Christmas around the corner, your holiday decor choices get fewer every week.
You may have thought about picking up some LED Christmas tree lights and maybe even LED window Christmas lights, but one of the easiest ways to turn your home into a winter wonderland is by adding a festive pre lit Christmas Garland or two around the home.
A Christmas garland with lights is a simple way to fill your home with the holiday spirit. And… if you’re wanting to take things to a whole new level (saving yourself time and getting some bonus decor points), then pick up some garlands with LED Xmas lights built-in.

BEST CHRISTMAS GARLAND WITH LIGHTS
We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 Christmas garlands with lights so you don’t have to do the work to find them.
A light-filled artificial Christmas Garland on the banister or mantle is sure to make your home Christmas-ready… and it won’t take you a ton of time either!
1. National Tree Company Wispy Willow Garland with 50 Clear Lights
This Wispy Willow is 9 feet long and pre-strung with 50 clear lights that provide you with the perfect amount of light. The lights on the pre lit Christmas Garland will last if they’re kept inside and will look best wrapped around your stairwell, across your fireplace or hung around a doorway.
When it arrives you will have to fluff it up to create the perfect look you see in the magazines (since it did just arrive in it’s confined packaging).

Plus, this lighted garland is fire-resistant and non-allergenic unlike traditional options, so you can rest easy knowing it won’t be causing any fires or causing any nasty allergic reactions during the holidays.
If you are looking for an Outdoor Christmas Garland with lights this Wispy Willow is suitable for inside or outside depending on what you’re wanting. Also, it isn’t overly pricey when compared to the choices at some of the home decor stores.
Even though it is a better price than most store-bought choices, it is durable so it should last you for years to come.
Since the bulbs are pre-strung all you have to do is plug it in, and you’re set.
2. National Tree Company Decorative Collection Tartan Plaid
National Tree Company is up in the ranks again with this gorgeous artificial Christmas Garland, except this time, it’s got a few more bells and whistles (metaphorically speaking).
If you’re wanting something that dazzles a little more than a typical pre lit garland, then this might be the one for you. It comes laced with red berries, cloth poinsettia, “frosted” pinecones, and of course, 50 LED lights.
It is battery-operated, so you don’t have to worry about tripping over any cords, or trying to reach an outlet that’s too far away. Just press the button and you are up and running.
(don't worry, button opens a new tab)
It spans 12 inches in width and is 9 feet long, making it great for wrapping around stairway banisters or around doorways.
The LEDs give off a softer, warm white than typical bright white LEDs – giving your home a cozier feel.
Because this comes with all the extra colorful decor, it is a bit pricier. However, if you’re wanting that little bit of extra color to cozy up your home this Christmas, then it’s definitely worth the investment (especially since you’ll be using it for years to come).
Just like the standard Wispy Willow edition, this is also fire-resistant and non-allergenic, so you don’t have to have worry about it causing a ruckus this winter.

The red bulbs really “pop” and have a nice contrast between the shiny and matte styles.
