Halloween isn’t here yet, but I bet you’re finding it hard to track down proper lights and decorations for the occasion. While it’s a lost cause at this point trying to find Halloween decor, now’s actually the time to start looking at smart lights for all the other upcoming holidays. Before you know it, stock of the best Christmas lights could be all gone before Halloween even gets here.

Even though October Prime Day has come and gone, I’ve been keeping an eye out on smart lights to outfit your home to accommodate all the upcoming holidays — like Thanksgiving,  Hanukkah, Christmas, and more. I’ve tested more than a dozen smart holiday lights over the years and always keep my eyes glued on retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and many more to uncover the best deals.

From smart string lights that can be arranged in unique patterns and animations, to more unique things like star projectors that make rooms in your home glow as if the northern lights were there, these smart lights have plenty of utility in getting you ready for the holidays. And best of all, many of them are attached with incredible discounts and sales — so it’s best to get them now before they’re out of stock for the season
