The holidays are about creating warm memories, and one of the easiest ways to set the tone is with outdoor lighting. Each year brings new styles, colors, and inspiration to transform homes and neighborhoods into festive displays. For 2025, holiday lighting trends are all about bold color mixes, creative patterns, and smart technology.
Bold Color Combos
Traditional red and green will always hold their place, but 2025 is seeing a rise in unique pairings. Blue and gold combinations bring elegance to larger homes, while red and warm white offer a classic but brighter take on tradition. Multicolor displays - especially when arranged in flowing gradients across the roofline or trees - continue to bring a playful, family-friendly look.
Creative Patterns
Instead of simple outlines, many homeowners are choosing custom-built patterns that highlight architectural features. Roof peaks, dormer windows, and landscaping elements like bushes or fences are being used as “canvases” for creative designs. Checkerboard roofline lights, cascading icicles, and alternating tree wraps are especially popular this season.
Smart Lighting Tech
More homeowners are embracing LED lighting with smart controllers that allow colors and patterns to change with the touch of a phone. These systems not only save energy but let families shift from a Christmas look to New Year’s Eve or even sports-team colors during playoffs.
As a company, one of the most rewarding moments for us is stopping at the end of an installation and seeing the glow of a finished design - knowing it will bring joy all season long to the family inside and their neighbors walking or driving by.
Holiday lighting is more than décor; it’s a way to connect communities through creativity and celebration.
