Garlands without lights can stand out on their own, and you can customize them with your own lights and ornaments. You also have more placement options and don't have to worry about plugging them in, turning them on, or replacing batteries.

Christmas garlands are a wonderful Christmas decoration that adds depth and charm to your Christmas décor, wherever you place it in your home. However, due to the impact of Covid 19 and subsequent Government guidelines and restrictions, plans had to be adjusted as there was a lot less time available for planting and growing the usual 30,000 flowers the team needed for the usual display. With the festive season on the horizon, you may have started thinking about how you'll decorate your home for Christmas. Whether you're someone who likes to use a couple of key pieces, like Christmas candles or wreaths, to welcome in the season — or you prefer something bolder — it's always great fun for all the family decorating for Christmas. Non-traditional garland comes in a variety of materials but is generally best for indoor use. As with all garlands, look for durable materials, especially if placed in a high-traffic area or around kids or pets. For example, both Anthropologie Holly Garland and the Balsam Hill Red Felt and Wool Beaded Garland are made of material that won't break if they fall and are easy to store.

Use gentle methods when hanging or mounting. Adhesive hooks, craft wire, and garland hangers are all good options. Securely mount your display with Balsam Hill Garland Hangers. The sturdy construction and adjustable design make them the most efficient choice. This year I decided to up the ante with the repurposed Christmas gingerbread garland by adding lights. The National Tree Company is known for its realistic-looking artificial Christmas trees and its garlands are just as impressive. We love this faux Crestwood Spruce option that looks like it has icy snow-covered needles in addition to pine cones and red berries, with 240 branch tips that give it a full look (once you fluff some of the branches). It's the perfect choice if you want to bring the outdoors inside so that you can enjoy the garland by a cozy fireplace. You can also use it to decorate a doorway or covered area outdoors, but it's not recommended for full, prolonged exposure to the elements.

Also, keep in mind how you intend to place it. Placement on a mantle tends to be the easiest since you can drape it across and don't have to worry about it falling down. Doorways and windows will require special hardware, such as this garland holder from Grandin Road, while others can simply be hung with ribbons or other removable hanging strips. Pre-lit options are the most convenient, saving you time from buying lights and wrapping them around the garland yourself. You can choose from LED or incandescent lights: LEDs are the most energy-efficient and tend to stay cooler to the touch. However, some people prefer the lighting from incandescent instead. Most of the pre-lit garlands on this list feature LED lights, aside from the Grandin All Is Bright Cordless Garland with UL-listed plug-in lights, and the National Tree Company Artificial Crestwood Spruce Christmas Garland, battery-operated option. Look for a pre-lit garland with a timer if you want to turn it on only once all season (most with timers will turn on for six hours starting at the original time each night and off for 18). The Amenon Pre-Lit Frosted Garlandhas both a timer and a remote and is the only option on our list with a range of speeds and settings, including both clear (white) and multicolored lights. A National Trust house has spent the last 11 months creating its annual Christmas garland for the 65th year - and it features more than 30,000 flowers. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on cleaning and proper storage. At the end of the season, make sure you carefully remove your greenery from their display areas. Rid them of dust or debris and store them in proper bags or boxes. Balsam Hill offers smart storage solutions for your holiday foliage. Our Rolling Multipurpose Greenery Bag keeps dust and pests away. It also makes transport easy and convenient.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. The garland will make a welcome return to being housed inside the Great Hall, following last year, where the display had to be moved outside for the first time ever. Marking a return to its traditional look, the garland will be made up of a mixture of greenery, including pittisporum and adorned with dried flowers, including cheerfully coloured strawflowers and statice.
