Why we love this deal

As fun as it is to decorate for the holidays, it can also be a pretty tiring job. Hanging up the lights, putting up the window swags and tree, and hanging up the holly isn't always an easy feat, especially when you're trying to perfectly recreate that cozy, warm setup you've been dreaming of since spring and the real life experience isn't quite measuring up. That's why scoring holiday decorations that cut the prep work in half are a must. Why spend hours adding lights to a strand of fresh greenery when you can get a full pre-lit strand at the store?

The holiday sales and early Black Friday deals may not have hit yet, but that doesn't mean there aren't already great discounts on holiday decor to take advantage of right now. For a limited time, Amazon is selling the National Tree Company Artificial Pre-Lit Garland for over 50% off. You can get the full strand, which originally costs $50, for just $22 right now.

Why do shoppers love it?

Made of fire-resistant polyvinyl chloride plastic, this garland may be artificial, but it has a very full, lush appearance thanks to more than 180 crafted branch tips designed to look like real spruce needles. The branches are pliable and can be bent and shaped to your desire, so if certain areas seem sparse, you can simply fluff up the branches for a fuller look. Measuring nine feet long, the garland is pre-lit with 50 clear lights interwoven seamlessly throughout the branches that turn on when the garland is plugged into any standard electrical outlet. The lights operate individually, so even if one happens to crack or break, the others will still light up, no problem. The garland is also decorated with pine cones and berry clusters, the latter of which add a pretty bright red pop of color that contrasts with the green. The extra decor also adds a 3D element to the garland that makes it look like real greenery. 

Weighing only 2.83 pounds, the garland is easy to hang and is suitable for either indoor or outdoor decorating. Hang it over the mantel or along the staircase, or frame it around your doorway so friends and family get a welcome surprise whenever they pop over for a visit this holiday season.

The only catch for outdoor use is to make sure that it's used under covered areas, so that rain or snow doesn't wear down or ruin the garland.
