The upcoming Christmas season calls for festive decor that often includes an abundance of holiday lights. While most may be familiar with traditional Christmas lights, these illuminated accessories are a tad more innovative or artful.
From tech-powered Christmas light products to pop-culture themed illuminators, this list of unique holiday lights will make your decorating process much more fun this winter.
Standouts from this list include cartoon and sci-fi themed string lights that are inspired by popular animated series Adventure Time along with the famed Star Wars film franchise. Other favorites include DIY origami lights that are not only limited to holiday use but that can also be used year-round as a fun and festive wall decor accent.
