WeRChristmas Pre-Lit Long Garland Illuminated with 52 Warm LED Lights, Green, 12 feet

Product Information

The key feature of a wreath is that it’s evergreen, as that’s what denotes the circle of life, the immortal spirit, that makes it a seasonal item. On a practical level, it’s also the only type of plant that would still be thriving in the freezing north. So wreaths are usually made of holly, ivy, conifers and other trees and shrubs that are plentiful around this time of year.

You won't have to worry about forgetting to turn the lights on your garland off or the lights burning out thanks to its 6-hour auto time feature (it turns on again after 18 hours). And since it's battery-powered, you don't have to worry about tangled cords hanging over your mantle, and you can place it almost everywhere. This garland is also available as a set of two for extra-long mantles or railings.Turn your mantle into the most festive space year-round with this light-up garland from West Elm. The embedded wire makes it easy to fit around curves and edges, so it fits perfectly in your space. It only features 30 lights (the least amount of the pre-lit options on this list), but the golden leaves help add to the sparkle. We think this garland would also look great layered over green garland, or on an artificial Christmas tree, for use around the holidays. Is it beginning to look a lot like Christmas? Not until the holly is hanging from your own front door – and that’s official. Dunelm’s festive collection of wreaths and garlands is everything you’d expect of this seasonal staple – pretty, high quality and with plenty of choice. Just don’t forget a wreath hanger!

If you are looking for a statement piece for your mantle or front door, you'll love the All is Bright Cordless Garland from Grandin Road. This garland is decorated with a variety of colorful, shatterproof jewel-toned ornaments and different types of branches and greenery, as well as 50 warm white lights. We love that it's battery-operated, ready to go right out of the box (aside from adding three C batteries), and needs minimal fluffing.

Decorate your home with realistic artificial garlands

The Home Accents 9-Foot Prelit Woodmoore Artificial Christmas Garland is a great choice if you want a well-decorated option, without a lot of effort. It features classic plaid bows, red berries, and pine cones nestled among the faux pine branches. Like most artificial Christmas trees, you will need to "fluff" some of the branches by moving them out and around to make them appear more realistic and full (there are 150 branch tips, but you most likely don't need to fluff them all!). While the branches have wires hidden in them to help keep their shape, they shouldn't scratch any surfaces you place them on. While faux garland can look festive and realistic, if you want the smell of fresh greenery, there's nothing better than the real thing. The Fresh Olive Leaf & Myrtle Garland from Pottery Barn is delivered to your door fresh and fragrant and dries out over time. It won't last year after year like artificial garland, but it's a great way to add a natural element to your home for the holiday season and beyond. In addition to the vintage-inspired decorations, the garland comes pre-lit with 50 warm white LED lights that are battery-operated, so you don't have to worry about having a nearby outlet. The timer is located on the battery box and is very simple to operate: press once and the lights will turn on for 6 hours and off for 18, twice to leave them constantly on, and three times to turn off (and reset the timer). Just be sure you set the timer when you want the six hours to start every night, and then you don't have to worry about turning them off and on all holiday season (unless the batteries run out).
