Holiday Light Trends for the 2025 Season
Elevate Your Home With the Latest Holiday Lighting Styles
Holiday lighting has officially leveled up for 2025. This year’s best displays are stylish enough to rival high-end retail storefronts and smart enough to work year-round. From sleek monochrome setups to nostalgic vintage bulbs with modern technology, the trends lean curated, dramatic, and built to last.
Whether you’re dreaming of a warm winter glow, energy-efficient smart controls, or a dazzling display that stops traffic, here’s what’s defining holiday lighting trends in 2025.
Trending Styles for 2025
Monochrome Magic
Minimalist design is having its moment, and holiday lighting is no exception. Monochrome holiday lights are setting the tone for 2025 with their sleek, photogenic appeal. Picture a warm white glow cascading along your roofline or a bold royal blue accentuating every architectural detail. This single-color style delivers a look that is clean, cohesive, and undeniably sophisticated. The result is a striking display that elevates your home’s presence and commands attention.
Vintage Charm with a Modern Twist
Those big, old-school bulbs you remember from childhood? They’re back, but better. Modern LED-powered C9 light bulbs give you the same vintage, nostalgic glow without the fragile glass or high energy bills. Imagine vintage lights tracing your roofline and outlining the shape of your home. Add a large, beautifully lit Christmas wreath at the center, and you’ve got a timeless holiday look that is both traditional and sophisticated.
Lightscaping
"Lightscaping" is our term for blending holiday lighting with landscape lighting to create custom displays that transform your home. Instead of just outlining the home, lightscaping combines multiple elements, from spotlights and pathway lighting to wrapped trees and framed windows. This holiday lighting trend highlights both your home’s architecture and natural surroundings. The result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind holiday lighting design with depth, movement, and curb appeal that makes your property stand out all season.
Permanent Holiday Lighting Systems
Say goodbye to tangled light strings and risky ladders. Permanent LED holiday lighting systems blend into your roofline and stay up year-round, ready to change colors at the tap of an app. Want warm white for Christmas, red-white-and-blue for July, or your team’s colors on game day? Easy. Permanent lighting systems are weatherproof, maintenance-free, and designed to last 20 years or more. They are the ultimate upgrade for convenience, curb appeal, and worry-free holiday lighting.
Customizing Your Lights to Your Home
The best holiday displays don’t just “fill space”, they highlight the unique features of your home. Strategic holiday light installation makes your property stand out while creating a warm, welcoming glow.
