A simple roofline of twinkling lights is beautiful—but what if you want your home to be the talk of the neighborhood this holiday season?
That’s where add-ons come in.
Whether you’re going for classic elegance or full-blown festive fantasy, adding a few extras to your light display can take it from basic to breathtaking.
Here are our top picks for must-have holiday lighting add-ons that will turn your home into a holiday showstopper.
1. Wreaths & Garland (with Lights!)
Nothing says “holiday cheer” like a lit wreath on every window and garland wrapped around railings, columns, or door frames. It adds symmetry, texture, and that traditional Christmas charm.
Popular placements:
- Front doors
- Window centers
- Porch columns
- Railings and fences
Pro Tip: Choose pre-lit, commercial-grade greenery for a longer-lasting, weather-resistant look.
2. Lit Walkways & Path Markers
Your roofline may sparkle, but don’t forget the ground level. Lighted pathway markers add both elegance and safety.
Ideas:
- Candy cane lights lining the driveway
- Ground stakes with snowflake toppers
- Soft white LEDs leading to your front door
This simple touch pulls the whole design together and gives guests a magical welcome.
3. Yard Features & Lawn Ornaments
Want to create a mini North Pole in your front yard? Go big with:
- Lit reindeer or sleighs
- Inflatable Santa scenes
- Giant light-up presents
- Animated characters (like snowmen or nutcrackers)
Bonus: Choose pieces with programmable lighting or motion effects for that extra wow factor.
4. Color-Changing LED Lights
With smart RGB lighting systems, you can switch up colors, patterns, and effects with an app or remote. This lets you:
- Set themes (red/green for Christmas, blue/white for winter, etc.)
- Sync to music
- Schedule timers for energy savings
5. Gable & Peak Lighting
Roofline lights look even more dramatic when you highlight your home’s architecture.
Add-ons that make an impact:
- Gable accents
- Ridge lights
- Corner lighting
- Window and dormer outlines
This adds depth and symmetry—especially for homes with complex rooflines.
6. Tree & Shrub Wrapping
Don’t stop at the house! Wrapping trees, bushes, and hedges in mini lights adds texture and fills out your yard display beautifully.
Popular options:
- Trunk wraps for tall trees
- Net lights for shrubs
- Color clusters for dense hedges
Have a large tree in your front yard? Wrapping it in warm white lights creates a stunning winter centerpiece.
7. Window & Door Outlining
Outlining windows and doors with LED lights frames your home like a Christmas card. Combine this with wreaths or icicle lights for extra charm.
This is especially popular for:
- Colonial-style homes
- Brick homes with dark trim
- Symmetrical facades
8. Timers & Smart Controls
While not a visual add-on, automation makes a big difference in convenience and energy efficiency.
Benefits:
- Set lights to turn on/off automatically
- Sync lighting to music or holidays
- Control different zones separately
