WeRChristmas Pre-Lit LED Snow Flocked Spruce Garland Christmas Decoration - 9 feet, White

Product Information

Perfect choice for any grand display, whether it's draped across the fireplace, down the bannister of the stairs or over a door archway. While I’ve already share the best garland to buy this year,there’s also a variety of other highly rated artificial Christmas garlands that might pique your interest – from mixed greens, to evergreen garlands of cedar and pine. As much as I love a fresh garland, I like to enjoy my Christmas decorations for as long as possible, and real garland just doesn’t last as long as I need it to.

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. 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.Aside from the lighting, it is undecorated, but you can add your own ornaments or bows (just make sure they are also weather-resistant if used outdoors). Although this is one of our most expensive options, there is a 10-year warranty on the greenery and three years on the lights. Heavy-duty wire inside the branches helps keep their shape (280 branch tips included). Some branches will need fluffing to appear more realistic, so set aside plenty of time for the task. Also, there is no timer included, so you will have to turn it on manually each day. That, paired with the fact that I’d rather not have my 1 year old eating crispy pieces of cedar or pine needles, means that artificial Christmas garland is the best choice for my decorating plans. This garland has a “real touch” feel to it. It’s not hard and ribbony like the cheap garlands of the past. It’s soft, bendable, and has a beautiful rich green that looks natural and realistic. It’s not hard to see why it’s considered the best garland for Christmas. Real vs Fake Garland

For a festive, bright, and durable Christmas garland you'll use season after season, we recommend Frontgate's 12-foot Christmas Cheer Garland. It's the longest option on our list and also has the most lightbulbs, 240, so it will provide quite a bit of sparkle to a space. The garland's pre-strung LED, clear battery-operated lights (six D batteries required) should last for 3,000 hours before burning out, according to the manufacturer. And once you set the timer, the lights will come on automatically at that time for six hours every night, and shut off automatically for 18, so it's truly a "set it and forget it" experience, all season long (battery life permitting).Jenica Currieis an editor for The Spruce, specializing in outdoor, home improvement, garden, and gift guide topics since 2020. She has tested dozens of products at home and in the lab, including solar lights, snow blowers, hose nozzles, and vacuums. Currie loves decorating for the holidays and utilizes a variety of garlands throughout her home, including pre-lit faux greenery and more trendy, non-traditional options. She loves a woodland theme but tries to mix it up every year. Currie researched dozens of garlands for this list in a range of styles and sizes, looking for high-quality options that will last year after year. These are not artificial garlands, they are real foliage… but they are too stunning to not include on my list. Some are preserved and require zero maintenance, others are fresh and just require misting every few days to prolong their life span. This is the garland I decided to use for my Christmas mantel this year, just to try something new! Preserved & Fresh Garlands 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.
