Heart of House Home 6ft Pre-Lit Snow Tipped Christmas Garland

Product Information

Garlands without lights can stand out on their own, and you can customize them with your own lights and ornaments. You also have more placement options and don't have to worry about plugging them in, turning them on, or replacing batteries. Also, keep in mind how you intend to place it. Placement on a mantle tends to be the easiest since you can drape it across and don't have to worry about it falling down. Doorways and windows will require special hardware, such as this garland holder from Grandin Road, while others can simply be hung with ribbons or other removable hanging strips. Whether you choose to drape your Christmas garland along a mantlepiece, across your table or wrapped around your staircase bannister, there's nothing more striking than a natural looking Christmas garland. Jenica Currieis an editor for The Spruce, specializing in outdoor, home improvement, garden, and gift guide topics since 2020. She has tested dozens of products at home and in the lab, including solar lights, snow blowers, hose nozzles, and vacuums. Currie loves decorating for the holidays and utilizes a variety of garlands throughout her home, including pre-lit faux greenery and more trendy, non-traditional options. She loves a woodland theme but tries to mix it up every year. Currie researched dozens of garlands for this list in a range of styles and sizes, looking for high-quality options that will last year after year. The combination of faux Scotch pine ( the national tree of Scotland), pistol pine, and fir branches—all made using molds of live branches and needles—looks full and lush (although the number of branch tips is not listed). Just be sure to reshape them (fluff the branches) when you take them out of the box. Pinecones and bright red berries add additional flair to this stunning holiday decoration.Suitable for indoor and covered outdoor use, the garland is perfect for placing almost anywhere you have the space, since you don't need to worry about an extension cord or outlet.

For the base of a Christmas garland, you'll need some jute rope and twine, which are both compostable. You'll also need some sharp garden cutters or floristry scissors. Similar to a Christmas wreath, you'll also need a selection of seasonal foliage and your favourite decorative pieces.The garland will make a welcome return to being housed inside the Great Hall, following last year, where the display had to be moved outside for the first time ever. The National Tree Company is known for its realistic-looking artificial Christmas trees and its garlands are just as impressive. We love this faux Crestwood Spruce option that looks like it has icy snow-covered needles in addition to pine cones and red berries, with 240 branch tips that give it a full look (once you fluff some of the branches). It's the perfect choice if you want to bring the outdoors inside so that you can enjoy the garland by a cozy fireplace. You can also use it to decorate a doorway or covered area outdoors, but it's not recommended for full, prolonged exposure to the elements. Decorate your fences and other outdoor spaces without worrying about bad weather, with the Red Sleigh Pre-Lit LED Artificial Sequoia Fir Commercial Garland. This is the only weather-resistant (outdoor-rated) garland on our list (all other options are recommended for outdoor covered spaces only). It also has the second most amount of lights on our list with 100 bulbs, so they will shine brightly among the faux fir (the 12-foot Frontgate Christmas Cheer Cordless Garland has 240). It's 14 inches wide and 9 feet long, so this garland will cover a large area. It's plug-in only, with a 2-foot cord, so you will most likely need an outdoor-rated extension cord if you are using it outside. There are several common uses for garlands: Christmas garlands for stairs can be strung along a banister and winding staircase, while you can also buy garlands for fireplaces, creating a beautiful focal point on your mantel. Christmas garlands with lights (as a bundle or a light-up garland) will help to create a magical, festive ambience across the home. Not only are they a great way to add some colour and texture to your indoor Christmas decorations, they can also make your house smell like a winter wonderland too.

The number of cardboard boxes that arrive at our house in the build-up to Christmas is shameful! I try to ease my guilt over this mountain of cardboard by repurposing some of it into cardboard Christmas decorations like this gingerbread garland. Cotehele House in Cornwall will be marking the anniversary by recreating the design of early garlands which had a more traditional, greenery-inspired look.Non-traditional garland comes in a variety of materials but is generally best for indoor use. As with all garlands, look for durable materials, especially if placed in a high-traffic area or around kids or pets. For example, both Anthropologie Holly Garland and the Balsam Hill Red Felt and Wool Beaded Garland are made of material that won't break if they fall and are easy to store. Pre-lit options are the most convenient, saving you time from buying lights and wrapping them around the garland yourself. You can choose from LED or incandescent lights: LEDs are the most energy-efficient and tend to stay cooler to the touch. However, some people prefer the lighting from incandescent instead. Most of the pre-lit garlands on this list feature LED lights, aside from the Grandin All Is Bright Cordless Garland with UL-listed plug-in lights, and the National Tree Company Artificial Crestwood Spruce Christmas Garland, battery-operated option. Look for a pre-lit garland with a timer if you want to turn it on only once all season (most with timers will turn on for six hours starting at the original time each night and off for 18). The Amenon Pre-Lit Frosted Garlandhas both a timer and a remote and is the only option on our list with a range of speeds and settings, including both clear (white) and multicolored lights. One of my favourite parts of Christmas decorations is all the lights! They make the home seem warm and cosy on those dark, cold winter nights.
