Putting up the tree and decorating the house with foliage and twinkly fairy lights is one of the best bits about Christmas – they add that all-important link to nature as well as a touch of magic, but with everything else going on it can sometimes feel like a big job. If you’re looking for a way to decorate that doesn’t take as long but still brings that festive sparkle, look no further. Pre-lit decorations, where the lights are an integral part of the foliage, will halve the time it takes to get the house looking merry and bright, and there are some beautiful options out there on the high street. From classic Christmas trees, to wreaths and garlands for doors and mantlepieces, we’ll show you how to bring a bit of Christmas magic to your décor!
CHRISTMAS TREES
Untangling the fairy lights, carefully spacing them out on the Christmas tree, then taking them off again in January, is one of the least popular jobs in most households! With a pre-lit tree you can avoid the hassle entirely – simply take it out of the box, fluff up the branches and plug it in. A pre-lit tree often works out to be more cost-effective than buying a tree and lights separately, but it can limit you to a particular style of light as most of them come in white. They also tend to be heavier due to the extra weight from the lights, so make sure you’re happy to haul a big box out of the loft come Christmas time.
