There’s nothing like that moment your holiday lights flick on for the first time — that “it’s officially the season!” feeling. ✨
But if you’ve ever found yourself digging through tangled cords in freezing weather, you already know: timing matters.
So when’s the best time to plan your holiday lighting installation?
The Early Birds Get the Glow!
The best time to schedule your holiday lighting is between September and early November.
Early fall is the sweet spot — perfect weather, flexible scheduling, and plenty of time to create something magical before the rush hits.
By the time your neighbors are dusting off their ladders in late November, you’ll already be sipping cocoa on the porch, basking in the glow of your best-house-on-the-block feel.
Start Spooky, End Sparkly
You don’t have to wait until December to light things up! We can kick things off with Halloween lighting in September or October — then simply swap out the bulbs for a festive look after spooky season.
It’s an easy way to stretch the fun of outdoor lighting and make the most of your investment — spooky in the fall, sparkly for the holidays.
What If It’s Already December?
Okay, maybe you didn’t plan ahead this year — we get it. Life happens.
The good news is you can still have a show-stopping display!
Many professional Christmas light installers (including us 😉) keep a few late-season spots open for last-minute magic.
Even in December, you can:
>Get a beautiful quick-install setup with our ready-to-go lighting systems
>Choose a simple, stunning design that still makes a big impact
Or pre-book your spot for next year so you’re first in line when the season rolls around again (and start dreaming up your design now!)
