Hanukkah will be here before you know it, and that means it’s time to get decorating. While it’s fun to break out all your indoor menorah and dreidel decorations for the holiday, you can’t forget to adorn the outside of your home too. We’ve scoured the internet for some of the best, most highly reviewed Hanukkah outdoor decorations to make the outside of your home feel as festive as the inside. Here are a few of our favorites!

Hanukkah menorah twinkle lights

We love anything that illuminates your front porch and yard, and these menorah twinkle lights fit the bill. They’re available on Amazon for just under $16 for a ten-foot string. Whether you wrap them around your front porch or frame your front door with them, they’re a sweet and small touch to add a little festivity to the season. Here’s why reviewers love them:

  • Comes in two shapes: Star of David or menorah
  • Battery operated, LED lights
  • Built-in timer with automatic shut off
  • Reviewers said the lights were easy to use and the remote control added much-needed convenience

Inflatable ‘Happy Hanukkah’ menorah candles

Sometimes, unless it’s said via a giant inflatable, it’s not said at all. That’s why this giant six-foot-tall menorah is gracing many people’s yards this year. It sells for $80 on Amazon and is certainly a fan favorite.

When it comes to adding curb appeal and updating the landscaping, one exterior project that’s often neglected is the driveway. However, the driveway happens to be one of the first things people see when approaching a home. It takes up a lot of space and can easily look unappealing in your exterior design. That’s why updating your driveway is so important, as it can enhance curb appeal and make your home exterior look luxe and elegant.

While it’s easy to opt for a classic gravel, cement, or asphalt driveway, most hotels and luxury homes choose to create a driveway that feels more elegant and detailed.
