Connect three sets of these curtain lights together to build an outdoor light canvas that can be controlled via an app, voice, or smart ecosystem. Govi’s curtain lights are IP67 waterproof, have RGB LEDs, and come with 250 preset modes.

A Christmas tree whose lights “dance” in sync with the music? Sign us up! Govi’s waterproof, windproof tree lights are placed on study iron stands equipped with a mic that picks up sound and allows the lights to sync to music. “Frosty Snowman” will never be the same.

This retro Vegas-style sign has LED lights but looks like a fresh change from the Santa and Rudolph inflatables on your block. It’s 50 inches high and 36 inches wide, so it’s a decent size for indoor or outdoor display, and not so big that the neighbors will wonder if it’s visible from space.

The perfect solution for those who like holiday decorations that aren’t bulky, cartoonish, or religious, these festive gift boxes are only 6, 8, and 10 inches tall and suitable for outdoor use.

This amazing willow tree decoration brings the beautiful beauty of nature to your doorstep this holiday season. It features 240 pre-wired warm white LED lights and has eight light functions to choose from. The included remote control and timer add convenience, allowing you to change the settings at your convenience.

What our tester says: Product tester Mark Wolff says, “The tree holds up well in 20 mph winds. During the day, the willow lights are almost invisible, so the white bark gives the tree the appearance of another birch that visually pops against a dark background. At night, the light and reflective Ultima show up nicely with a pleasant swinging motion when the wind blows.”

It’s designed to capture the excitement of sending a wish list to Santa and includes a functional hatch, allowing children to drop their letters inside.

Is it a disher, dancer, or prancer that has landed on your front lawn? This 48-inch animatronic reindeer walks with yuletide carols it plays, accompanied by festive music and an LED light show. The soft faux fur around his neck gives him a more realistic look.

If your home doesn’t have a fireplace, this LED staircase is a festive way for Santa to enter and exit the premises! This 10-foot lighted rope ladder and detachable Santa can be hung from a second-story window or deck. It is waterproof, energy efficient, and safe for indoor or outdoor use.

Illuminated by eight battery-operated beads of light across his head and chest, this Nutcracker soldier is the perfect guard for the Christmas tree or front door. Made of magnesium oxide and requiring no assembly, this decoration is perfect for a beautiful Christmas table.
