Christmas comes earlier every year, but for once I’m not complaining, as M&S’s festive lighting is so good, I predict it will sell out long before the big day arrives.
I can appreciate it’s only October, but now is the time to start considering the year’s Christmas trends - especially when the best decorations always sell out early. And one of the best producers of festive decor is M&S, who have already graced us with the return of their XL bows, tinsel tree skirt and gorgeous light-up candles.
But it is their Christmas lighting that I have to say is worth investing in now. I’ve already fallen in love with the brand’s new twig trees, and this led me down the rabbit hole of the best M&S Christmas lights. Here are my top six picks.
M&S's 100 LED Light Up Confetti Garland is my top pick. Just look at that sparkle! (Image credit: M&S)Having trawled through the M&S website, my top pick is the 100 LED Light Up Confetti Garland (£12). This five-star-rated product is made up of 100 warm white LED lights, as well as glittering confetti and beads that help reflect light - whether that’s from your LED or when it catches the sun in the daytime.
It’s a simple design but one that would suit any Christmas decorating style. I’d hang them from a fireplace mantel, or around a bookshelf or dresser to enjoy a festive sparkle that reaches every corner of your home. You could even place them in a mason jar and use them as part of your table decor for dinner parties.
What I love about these lights is that they are not explicitly festive, so you could use them as decor for any party.
‘These are lovely. I wanted them to cheer me up now the dark evenings and mornings have arrived,’ says one review, summing up my sentiments.
M&S 100 Led Light Up Confetti GarlandThis garland is simple but I think it looks so beautiful. It's playful design will add lots of sparkle to your decor.
M&S Pre-Lit Tinsel Bauble GarlandThis bauble garland has sold out early in the past so don't hesitate to snap this one up, if you like what you see.
M&S Light Up House Scenescape Room DecorationLight-up houses are a popular Christmas trend every year and it's not hard to see why. Add to your windowsill for an added cosy glow in the evening.
M&S Light Up Greens WreathThis light-up wreath is absolutely stunning. It's foliage looks thick and and high-quality and the lights only emphasise its high-end look.
M&S 6ft Light Up Green GarlandIf you want realistic foliage for your table this Christmas, choose this one. Its elegant design, with built-in lights, looks so glamorous.
M&S Pre Lit Red Berry GarlandThis red berry garland looks way more expensive than it's £12 price tag. It's not as glitzy as other examples, but I think it's just as stylish.
The M&S Christmas shop is selling fast, so if anything has caught your eye, it's wise to check out sooner rather than later.
