Halloween has passed, which means it’s time to start thinking about the holidays. Now is the perfect time to upgrade your Christmas lights and enter into the new millennium with a smart Christmas light system. The Twinkly Strings Multicolor are the best smart lights we’ve tested, now on sale for $53 ($10 off). They're beautiful and easy to set up, and the connected app has lots of pre-made light combinations, plus you can also craft custom effects to unleash your inner artist. Or you can just go big and get a whole new artificial Christmas tree (our favorites are below). The best ones on the market are pricey, but incredibly lifelike, and will last a decade or more.
