Forget everything you thought you knew about decking out your Christmas tree with sparkly string lights: These viral TikTok videos reveal why you should actually be putting your lights up vertically, instead of wrapping them around your tree.
In this video, TikTok user Liz Lovery demonstrates how to vertically string lights on your Christmas tree, while explaining all the benefits of this method. When you string them up and down, you use less lights. Plus, if some lights go out, it's so much easier to change to them. She uses the "zig zag" (vertical) method. She points out that hanging them vertically instead of coiling them means that you won't waste lights at the back of your tree.
