Make your holidays merry and bright with Balsam Hill’s selection of Christmas string lights and lanterns. Read on to learn more about what sets our Christmas lights apart and how you can use them to decorate your home this season.
What Are The Best Christmas String Lights?
The best Christmas string lights make lighting up your holiday display as stress-free as possible. Here are three reasons why you should choose Balsam Hill string lights and Christmas light lanterns for your home:
-
Convenient
We offer connectable string lights so you can join them together to create longer strands for larger trees, bannisters, and door or window frames. Additional features such as wireless remote controls and built-in timers make maintaining a grand lighted display easy and fuss-free. -
Energy-Efficient
We carry LED Christmas lights that last longer but consume less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Many of our lighted Christmas lanterns also use rechargeable batteries or solar-powered lights, making them the more sustainable choice. -
Versatile
Many of our string lights come with multiple display functions you can select via remote control. Our Twinkly lights give you the chance to create your own customized light show using color-changing bulbs and multiple pre-set effects, right on a downloadable mobile app.
How Do I Decorate With Christmas String Lights And Lanterns?
Charm your guests with a delightful display using our string lights and lighted Christmas lanterns. Here are some decorating ideas perfect for the season:
-
Lead The Way
An outdoor-safe LED Christmas lantern creates a warm welcome even before your guests step foot into your home. Line them up on pathways and porch steps, or cluster them in groups by the front door. Pair with Christmas fairy lights wrapped around porch railings or cascading from roof awnings to amplify the homey glow. For more Christmas cheer, add some outdoor-safe Christmas decorations. -
Light Up The Table
Lighted lanterns make wonderful table centerpieces for a rustic holiday table. Create a charming scene by accentuating with small potted arrangements or seasonal foliage. You can also decorate bar carts, dessert tables, or grazing tables with LED Christmas lanterns. -
Cast A Cozy Glow
Choose from our lanterns lit with Christmas tree fairy lights, flameless LED candles, or solar-powered lights to create a cozy ambience in living rooms, dens, foyers, and even kitchens. Place groupings of lanterns in different sizes on fireplace mantels or staircase landings. -
Set The Mood
Spread some holiday cheer even in the tightest corners with a well-placed lantern. Guest bathrooms, coffee nooks, and butler’s pantries are all high-traffic areas during the Christmas season and could benefit from some cheerful mood lighting.
The warm glow of Christmas lights makes your holiday decoration even more unforgettable. Shop our site for all your decorative lighting needs. Visit our Resource Center for more expert decorating tips.

Choosing a Tree Height
Tree Shape
Tree Light Type
Tree Foliage
Please note that all tree heights indicated on our website include the tree stand. If you want the tallest Christmas tree your room will allow, we recommend buying a tree that is six inches shorter than your ceiling height to allow some clearance for a tree topper. For example, if you have a standard 8 - 9 foot ceiling, we would suggest a 7½ foot tree. Here are some more tips:
Under 6 feet trees
Best for tabletops or secondary spaces like kitchens or dens
6 - 6 ½ feet trees
Designed to fit homes with low to average ceiling heights.
7 - 7 ½ feet trees
Our most popular size, designed to fit perfectly in rooms with average 8 - 9 feet ceilings.
9 feet trees
Our second most popular size, designed for rooms with tall ceilings of 10 - 11 feet to create a stunning effect.
10 - 12 feet trees
These trees are beautiful centerpieces for two-storey living rooms, rooms with very high ceilings and some commercial spaces.
15 - 30 feet trees
These oversized trees are popular with churches, malls, and large office spaces to create grand holiday display.
We offer artificial trees in a wide variety of shapes, from traditional full-width trees to space-saving slim trees and flatbacks. When choosing your tree, we suggest that you consider the diameter (in the Shape description, this might be described as Full 40") of the Christmas tree to help you choose the perfect tree for your space. This measurement is taken at the very widest point of the tree. If you plan to have a few branches touching a wall or a piece of furniture, the true space occupied by the tree will be about six inches less than the stated diameter.
Regular (Full) Trees
Our most popular choice because of their lush profiles and sturdy branches.
Narrow Trees
Perfect for an elegant effect in smaller rooms and apartments.
Slim Trees
Our most slender trees, ideal for tight spaces, corners and foyers.
Flatback Trees
An elegant solution for small spaces, studios and small apartments.
Topiary Trees
Beautifully accent all parts of your home including patios, entryways and porches.
Balsam Hill's designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cutting from live trees to guide them. We offer three types of foliage options that are made from either PE or PVC material. While some trees use one type of foliage exclusively, others may use mix of foliage types to achieve a particular look. The specific mix is specified on each product detail page in the section that describes the tree's foliage.
True Needle™ Technology
Balsam Hill's exclusive True Needle&tade; evergreen foliage is used to create our most realistic and luxurious artificial Christmas trees. This ultrarealistic foliage is created with injection-molded PE plastic and several different colors of pigment to mimic the structure, texture, and color of natural evergreen needles. A unique feature of True Needle™ foliage is the color variations within the branches. For example, the branch might be a brown/green while the needles start off a dark green and slowly fade to a lighter green.
Classic Needles
Balsam Hill's Classic Needle foliage has soft, flat and flexible needles with a more classic artificial look. These needles are made from thin sheets of PVC that are cut into fine strands to resemble evergreen needles. We use these resilient, flexible needles as the primary foliage of many of the trees in our very affordable Traditional trees. It is also used as filler for most of our Realistic and Most Realistic Christmas trees because of its superior ability to block light and create a "full" look for the tree.
Pine Needles
The PVC pine needles used by Balsam Hill® are specially designed to mimic the size and texture of long, thin needles of a pine tree. These needles even have the rigid texture of real pine needles. If you roll them between your thumb and finger, you will feel the ridges.
If you long for the beautiful glow of lights on your tree but dread untangling the wires, Balsam Hill's pre-lit Christmas trees are the answer. All of our lights are UL® approved and professionaly strung on the tree by hand to minimize the appearance of wires. Each of our pre-lit trees for indoor use come with premium commercial grade lights so that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest stay lit. We have a wide variety of pre-lit lighting options to suit every decorating need.
Color+Clear™ Lights
Our exclusive Color + Clear™ remote-controlled lighting system is available in both incandescent and energy-saving LED. The handy remote lets you choose clear lights, multi-colored lights, or both. With more than 50% additional lights, your tree will still have plenty of beautiful lights even if only one light type is selected. If you choose both clear and colored lights, your tree will display more lights than any other artificial tree you will find.
Clear Lights
Enjoy the timeless look of clear lights. Our most popular style of pre-lit tree, clear lights give you the mose flexibility in your decorating, and the ability to change your look from year to year.
Multicolored Lights
Warm your home with these pre-lit trees featuring traditional, festive multicolored lights. Most of our multicolored pre-lit trees feature red, green, blue and yellow lights.
Candlelight™ led lights
Enjoy our premium energy-saving LED lights that never burn out. Unlike cold light emitted from traditional LEDs, our energy-efficient Candlelight LEDs provide a warm glow reminiscent of a candle's flame.
Multicolored led lights
Our multicolored Classic Color™ LED lights bring a festive glow to your Christmas tree without the intense glare of standard LED bulbs. These red, blue, orange, green, and yellow LED lights are energy-efficient and will never burn out.
Unlit Trees
Use your own special lights on these unlit trees. For unlit trees that specify Simple String™, we have already pre-strung the trunk with extension cords, allowing you to plug your choice of lights into extension cord outlets throughout the center of the tree.
