“Your Christmas lights don’t have to sit in storage until December—they’re the easiest way to give your house a Halloween makeover.”
Why Christmas Lights Make Perfect Halloween Décor
Most store-bought Halloween lights burn out faster than a pumpkin candle. Big Star Lights’ commercial-grade quality means your spooky setup will actually last the season (and survive the rain if Halloween night gets soggy).
Instead of buying single-use décor, you can repurpose your Christmas lights in colors like orange, purple, green, and warm white to create haunted vibes that stand out on your block.
If you already have a holiday light display planned for this Christmas, all you'll need to do is swap out the bulbs with more Halloween-themed colour options.
Spooky Ways to Use Them Outside
Here are a few tried-and-true tricks that look great and take minutes to set up:
- Pumpkin Patch Glow: Wrap Mini Lights around porch pumpkins or weave them through hay bales for a glowing harvest vibe.
- Haunted Roofline: With Chromaglow Pro Permanent Trim Lighting, you can set your roofline to flicker in Halloween colors, then switch to red-and-green the next week—no ladder required.
- Zombie Bushes: Cover bushes in Stretch Mini Lights. Use green for a radioactive “creature” effect.
- Creepy Windows: Icicle Lights hung indoors but facing out make your home look like a haunted house from the street.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the Goblin Themed Mini Lights on your bushes for a monstrous effect.
