Holiday Glow

Try using oversize bulbs on your outdoor tree. Multicolor C-25 lights offer a vintage look, while single-color strands lend a modern vibe. Wrap the tree’s trunk with larger lights for a more three-dimensional effect. New LED lights burn whiter, last longer, and use less electricity than traditional twinkle lights. Be sure to use only outdoor-approved and an outdoor outlet.
