This post may contain affiliate links. You can check my disclosure for more info!
Each Christmas season I like to mix things up. I actually change my color scheme with each passing year. It just makes things a little more fun and fresh. I will get into how I do that and this year’s decorations in another post, but today I want to talk about something new I added to my Christmas Tree this year.
What are Bright Tunes?
I love my Christmas tree. We purchased it over 10 years ago and although it is artificial it is very well made. Thank you, Martha Stewart! The tree is prelit, easy to set up and I can honestly say that only a few of the lights have gone out in all that time.

Anyway, a think a couple of years ago I noticed that the newer model trees had some great new features, like timers and speakers. I knew I couldn’t justify purchasing a new tree, but a girl can dream, right?
Then about a month ago I noticed these Indoor/Outdoor string lights with built-in speakers in a local circular. I never made it to the store, but last week I decided to research it again. I found the Bright Tunes Indoor/Outdoor string lights have 4 built-in Bluetooth speakers.
Pretty Cool Right?
Benefits
But normal they are not!
Once connected, you can stream Pandora, iTunes or your own personal playlist to the speakers to stream music directly from your tree.
Choose the Bright Tunes lights to match your Christmas decor. They come on either a green or white string and with white or multicolor lights.
Easily adjust the volume from your cellphone without the need for a dedicated app.
Who Are They For
The Bright Tunes lights are perfect for anyone who wants to step up their Christmas decoration game. Technology speaking, this is a really nice addition to your normal tree decorations. The speakers are hardly noticeable among the branches of the tree.
These lights make it a party!
Bright Tunes would also be a great surprise for Christmas party goers. Since the lights are appropriate for both indoors and outdoors, they can be placed in a number of different places. Use them to decorate your Christmas tree, a wreath or tabletop centerpiece tree. Outside Bright Tunes can be connected together to increase the range and space you wish to decorate and audiomate. Is that a word?
