"If you're all about nostalgic holiday decorations, then you and I are kindred spirits. I still hang my great-grandmother's ornaments from the 1940s on the tree every single year - and they're still my absolute favorites. But if you don't have vintage hand-me-downs, retailers are already putting out some of this year's most nostalgic decor. To give your home a bit more pizzazz in 2025, a strand of vintage-style Christmas lights is a surefire way"
"Similar to the Christmas lights of yore, this strand features clear glass bulbs that emit a warm glow despite being LED. And because they're LED, they won't get super hot like other vintage-style incandescent bulbs do. They're C9 bulbs, which means they're one of the larger Christmas light bulbs you can get. And they won't flicker, which makes them easier on the eyes."
Home Depot offers vintage-style C9 LED Christmas lights modeled after large multicolored bulbs first manufactured in the early 1920s and popular through the 1970s. The bulbs use clear glass to produce a warm, soft glow while LED technology prevents excessive heat and reduces flicker. The strand replicates round and conical midcentury shapes and mimics the milky or clear colored finishes of original bulbs. Social media vintage-Christmas accounts and commenters praise the lights for their nostalgic appearance and improved safety and eye comfort compared with modern LED alternatives. The lights aim to create a warm, time-worn holiday aesthetic for 2025 decor.
