How to Create a Magical Christmas Light Path Walkway

An installer with gloved hands pitches stakes into a lawn

Nothing sets the holiday mood faster than a glowing walkway leading friends and family to your front door. It’s simple to create, surprisingly quick to set up, and instantly makes your home look more festive and inviting.


The Best Lights for Walkways

Not all lights are equal when it comes to lining a path. For a clean, durable look, go with:

💡 Pro Tip: Choose warm white for a cozy, timeless glow, or go multicolor if you want something playful for kids and guests.


Why Lawn Stakes Make All the Difference

Here’s the trick most homeowners miss: lights sitting on the ground slip, sag, or disappear under snow. Lawn Stakes keep bulbs upright, evenly spaced, and looking professional.

To set them up:

  1. Push the stakes into the ground along your walkway.
  2. Clip in the sockets of your light string.
  3. Keep spacing even, and you’re done!

Even if your soil is frozen, a quick starter hole with a screwdriver makes installation easy.


Spacing That Looks Great

C9 bulbs: Place stakes 12" or 15" apart for a bold, glowing effect. Use the Socket Power Cord to run power to your bulbs.

Want to wow your guests? Try a double row of lights—one on each side of the path—for a grand entrance look.


Built to Last All Season

Big Star Lights’ bulbs and stakes are commercial-grade and weather-resistant. That means your display will keep shining through rain, snow, and wind—without the hassle of replacing broken bulbs mid-season.

The lawn stakes we offer are UV-resistant, and will be able to hold your bulbs up all winter without a hitch!
