When it comes to holiday décor, your outdoor Christmas decorations are just as important as the indoor ones. There's no better way to greet your holiday guests and spread Christmas cheer all around your neighborhood! Although there are plenty of ways to decorate your front yard, including Christmas inflatables or DIY wreaths, one of our favorite ways to make a statement is with a Christmas light projector. We've rounded up some of the most popular options with designs like snowflakes, Christmas trees, jingle bells, and more. There's even an animated one featuring Santa Claus riding along in his sleigh, led by two adorable reindeer! The best thing about these projectors is that many of them give the magical effect of outdoor Christmas lights, without any of the hassle of untangling them, hanging them up or even taking them down.
Each of these picks works well on its own, but if you really want to go big this holiday season, try pairing two or more, or even adding some easy-to-use solar Christmas lights into the mix. No matter which ones you choose, you're sure to have one of the best Christmas light displays in your neighborhood!
