Description
These Christmas string lights bring back the cheerful look of an old-fashioned tree, mixing smiling Santa heads with chunky retro bulbs in red, green, yellow and blue. Each Santa has a friendly face set between a red hat and a full white beard, with rosy cheeks and a little red nose. The coloured bulbs keep the classic tapered shape, each topped with a ribbed silver-look cap like an old screw-in bulb. There are 25 LEDs across a lit length of 3.6 metres, a good run of colour for a tree, a shelf or a mantelpiece.
We like them wound through the branches of a Christmas tree, where the Santa faces peep out between the baubles. They are just as happy draped along a mantelpiece, looped over a bookcase or trailed along a sideboard in the hall. The mix of bold primary colours suits a family Christmas with a playful, nostalgic feel, and they look especially good in a kitchen, a den or a games room where a bit of fun is welcome. Set them around the inside of a window frame and the bulbs glow like a row of sweets on dark winter evenings.
The set has a 5m lead cable before the first bulb, so the lit length can begin well away from where it is powered. That lets it reach the top of a tall tree or the far end of a bookcase without strain. To keep them looking their best, switch the lights off and dust them now and then with a soft dry cloth. When Christmas is over, wind the string loosely around a piece of card, and it will come out tidy and ready to hang next year. For the best effect, wind them so the Santa heads sit evenly through the tree and a cheery face greets you from every side.

Frequently Asked
How long are these string lights?
The lit section is 3.6 metres long with 25 LEDs along it. A further 5m lead cable runs before the first bulb, which gives you plenty of reach.
What colours are the bulbs?
The retro bulbs come in red, green, yellow and blue. They are mixed with white Santa heads wearing red hats, so the string gives a bright multicoloured glow.
What is the 5m lead cable for?
The lead cable runs before the first bulb, so the lit length can start well away from where it is powered and reach exactly where you want the colour.
Where do these Santa string lights look best?
We love them on the Christmas tree, but they also suit a mantelpiece, a bookcase, a sideboard or the inside of a window frame, anywhere a cheerful run of colour is welcome.
How do I look after them?
Switch them off and dust the bulbs gently with a soft dry cloth. After Christmas, wind the string loosely around a piece of card so it stores neatly and untangles easily.
