Spending this weekend updating your outdoor Christmas decorations collection? Whether you are a traditionalist and waiting until we are further into December to decorate, or just want to check your decs up ASAP, we are here to help you find the best outdoor lights and decorations to order online today.
We say go all out this Christmas! We are certainly going to, 2020 needs as much sparkle as you can throw at it, so string up as many lights, hang all the stars and decorate with a menagerie of light up animals. Take a look at these lovely (and non-tacky) outdoor Christmas decorations. No inflatables in sight – sorry we might be up for being extra but we draw the line at inflatables!
We've done some online shopping to find 15 stylish buys which are all still in stock (we can't believe it either!) and some are even on sale over Black Friday! Once you're finished here, be sure to check out our Christmas page for all things gifts,

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. I've been part of the Real Homes team since 2018, when I joined as Deals Editor. Along with covering major sales events — from Black Friday to Amazon Prime Day — I review home must-haves so that you can buy with peace of mind. Mostly focusing on home fragrance and sleep, as well as a few vacuum cleaners, I've tested pretty much every item you can think of that you need in your home. I live on the outskirts of the city in a two-bed apartment with my husband and my pug, Doug. So I am always searching for compact alternatives and ways to save floor space. What about when I am not typing away? Well, you'll find me enjoying an iced coffee (no matter the season) and trying out the latest brunch spots the city has to offer, or booking my next holiday. Where else can you find my words? Livingetc, Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Gardeningetc, and Woman & Home.
