Introducing the tangled Christmas string lights from Pottery Barn, a set of string lights that come pre-tangled into balls or clusters. These Christmas lights offer a great, albeit subtle, reference to the incredible Griswold family, and they’re also just a pretty set of string lights that can help keep your house aglow.

These Christmas Vacation-style tangled string lights feature classic warm white Christmas light bulbs, and they’re great for either indoor or outdoor use. The shop notes that they’re outdoor safe, and they only require a regular power outlet for use. These pre-tangled string lights also feature an on-off switch near the plug, so you can turn them off without having to unplug them each time.

Purchase of this string light set includes two differently sized tangled balls of lights, complete with a total of 220 small LED bulbs. Each bulb essentially stems from a strip of string lights to culminate into the tangled mess of Griswold-style lights. The balls of tangled string lights appear a bit smaller than those you see in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, which is probably good because their sheer size in the movie could really take up a lot of space.

The shop says it’s worth getting a few to light up a room or space, though just one set of the two tangled Christmas-light balls will at least be enough to get a laugh and pay homage to the film. Dubbed an “unconventional lit orb,” these tangled string lights are a part of Pottery Barn’s National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation collection, which also includes pillows, bedsheets and more.

The shop also makes a note that they should only be cleaned by being dusted with soft, dry cloth, and that use should not exceed the specified wattage.
