Christmas lights
Festive string bulbs
Christmas lights are strings of small electric bulbs used to decorate homes, trees, and public spaces during the Christmas season.
They range from simple white strands to elaborate multicolored displays, often synchronized to music or programmed to flash in patterns: The neighbors went all out with their Christmas lights this year.
The tradition extends to other winter holidays and celebrations.
