Perhaps you’re tweaking the holiday décor just a bit. Or you’re embarking on a broader overhaul. But the effect is going to be a new look.

To kick-start the seasonal decorating derby, we’ve rounded up the buzz on what’s hot, trendy and adventurous for adding festive glitz and sparkle, indoors and out.

LIGHTS

LED lights are among the stand-outs in holiday trends. Touted as substantially more energy efficient and more durable than traditional bulbs, LEDs also feature some fancy formats. Sets with animated effects, such as twinkling, chasing and alternating colors, are attracting plenty of interest and enable homeowners to incorporate some light-show theatrics into their decor, a representative for Ace Hardware said.

Some LED icicle lights and other sets feature remote control functions. Holiday revelers may switch back and forth among an assortment of hues at their whim — without stepping outside. The remote control LED icicle lights are available at various vendors, including A Christmas Palace in Fort Lauderdale and Hialeah Gardens, ranging in price from $19.99 to $149.99

For those who’d rather skip traditional electricity, GE solar lights are powered by the sun. The new solar-powered mini lights and icicles in warm white bulbs or multi-colored bulbs — and the solar panel — are available at Home Depot for $29.97

Another unplugged approach makes use of batteries. Home Depot sells battery-powered strands in white, multicolored and flashing white for $14.97.

SNOW

Regardless of what the weather guy says, there’s surely snow in South Florida. Faux snow.

Snow-dusted accessories fit a homey, old-fashioned theme, which is quite popular, said David Schindler, owner of A Christmas Place Designs and Christmas Décor Southeast, which are Fort Lauderdale-based businesses offering custom decorating services.

To dial up the wintery vibe a few notches, some artificial trees and other decorative pieces are equipped with their own snow-blowing machines. The fake snowflake beads automatically are recycled back into the snow-blowing device so there’s no frosty mess on the floor. And like the authentic version, the pretend snowfall is reportedly whisper quiet. A Christmas Palace in Fort Lauderdale and Hialeah Gardens sells snow blowing trees, scenes and other decorative table-top pieces at prices from about $20 to $180.

RECYCLING

Some holiday baubles previously were something else. Some crafty types who like repurposing excess household objects make personalized ornaments by hand-painting holiday scenes on burned-out light bulbs. Perhaps they’ll loop strips cut from old magazines into a fun, funky garland.

Trash To Treasure in Fort Lauderdale, which provides reusable materials for art and education projects, is offering workshops in December on making ornaments from recycled household items, such as music CDs embellished with bits of wrapping paper and ribbon.

Some repurposed items may be unrecognizable when transformed into holiday décor, such as stockings and tree skirts made from discarded Capri Sun juice pouches, available online for $7.99 and $8.99 from TerraCycle.

Others proudly showcase their roots.

An easy way to do the planet a favor is skip the brand new stuff and stock up on holiday supplies from thrift stores or Trash To Treasure, said Casey Eckels, founder and executive director of Trash To Treasure. Reusing existing items, she said, reduces waste as well as the adverse environmental impacts associated with production.
