See Christmas lights on your own house, free

Upload one photo of the front of your house. We turn it into a dusk shot, then apply the Christmas light style you choose, so you can see roof lights, icicles, wreaths or a projector on your own home. Pick 3 styles free. Add your email and ZIP to open all 24.

Yes. Three styles of your choice are free with no sign-up. To open the other 21 styles you enter an email and ZIP code, and tick a box to agree to hear from us and installers near you. SnowPass, one of the installers, is run by the same company as Hollyhush (Roviq LLC). No card is ever needed.

Your photo is resized in your browser, camera and location data are removed, and it is stored privately for 30 days. Then the photo and every picture made from it are deleted. A public share page exists only if you choose to make one.

Measure your roofline in feet, add 10 percent for sag and corners, and divide by the length of one strand. For 120 ft of roofline that is 2 strands of 100 ft C9 lights (132 ft needed). Use the calculator on this page for strands, clips and cords.

Doing it yourself, a classic roofline costs about $223 in lights, clips, cords and a timer for a 120 ft roofline. Professional installation of a roofline typically runs $400 to $900, and fuller designs cost more. Every style here shows its own parts list and estimate.

C9 bulbs are large, about 2 inches long, and read clearly from the street, so they are the standard for rooflines. Mini lights are small and closely spaced, which suits shrubs, trees, windows and fine trim.

They are realistic previews, not measured plans. The style, colors and placement are right, but bulb spacing and count are approximate. Use the parts list and the light calculator for real quantities.
