As someone who absolutely loves the holiday season, covering my home in garland, lights and more ornaments than I care to admit is an activity I refuse to forego. And I’m not alone. We started noticing in October — way before Halloween even — that people have been fully ready to deck their halls.
And the first place they are looking when it comes to new decorations is the Dollar Tree. People have been posting for months about adorable vintage-inspire decor and inexpensive Christmas trees from the shop. Now, they have their eyes set on the Dollar Tree’s 30-inch LED candy cane lights for the front yard (and yes, they are $1.25).
After TikToker MainStMuse posted about them (and reminded people how quickly they sold out last year), so many folks rushed to the comments section to say that they needed them, or, in a few cases, how they can’t believe they didn’t pick them up when they had the chance. “I literally had 6 in my cart yesterday and put them back. [I’m] going back,” one person wrote. “Ugh, I saw them but didn’t even bother to get one. But now you’re gonna make me to drive back to the store and buy them all,” someone else wrote. If you look on TikTok, you’ll find so many videos from other users about how these are a holiday must-have.
Now, for the rough part. Like many of Dollar Tree’s items, you have to grab them early because you can only buy them in bulk online. But luckily, you can snag similar models from Walmart or Amazon for about a dollar more, which isn’t terrible!
