Outdoor Christmas lights are a brilliant festive touch for your home
As we begin putting up our Christmas decorations and getting our home ready for the festive season, you don't want to forget about its exterior. And that's where a great set of outdoor Christmas lights – or several – come into play.
Whether you're looking to illuminate your driveway, balcony or front door, or want to go all out with hanging icicle lights and a twinkling display that wouldn't look out of place in one of our favourite festive movies, there are plenty of different options for every budget and theme.
You will, however, need to consider how you will power your outdoor Christmas lights. Some will be battery-operated, coming in handy if you don't have a plug nearby, while others will be mains-powered. If this is the case, you will need an outdoor plug or to hang your lights close enough to a window, so that you can hook them up to the indoor power supply.
Whichever lights you choose to adorn your exterior, just remember to check that they are waterproof and weatherproof, given the cold, wet and frosty weather that we will no doubt experience in the run up to December 25th and beyond.
So, if you're looking for some inspiration, we've rounded up our pick of the best outdoors Christmas lights this year.
