I like to buy pre lit battery operated garland with a timer. Most of the ones that we have have timers but they come on at a set time and stay on for six hours. So if you hang your garland and turn the timer on at 6 pm, the lights will be on until midnight. That works fine for me. These new LED lights use so little electricity that my batteries usually last from after Thanksgiving until we take them down in early January.
I have looked at the pre lit garland with a remote control. I don’t see much use in these for myself. Looks like all they really do is dim the lights and change some functions. If you have more than a couple of these then having all of those remotes will get really confusing.
Battery powered garland makes it really easy to put garland around your outside door frame. All you need to do is purchase the length of garland that you need and then drape around your door. You can keep it in place with some small nails or staples.

You can get them for single or double doors. They are tension mounted so are easy to install and take down. Made of metal with a powder coating so they should last for years. There are also a lot of good reviews.
I want to try them this year on a couple of interior doors that we hang garland on. Don’t see why they won’t work there also.
