Vintage LED Christmas Lights at Menards - Mini, Reflector, C7, C9 Bulbs - October 2026

If you head to Menards these days, you'll see some Halloween stuff up (inflatables, their Spooky Village buildings and the other Halloween house decor), but you'll also see a big section of the Menards Enchanted Forest Christmas set-up out and ready to be shopped.

Before I get into the post, let me credential-ize myself.  

I've covered Menards Christmas setup (Enchanted Forest) and when it shows up over the years.  Via, what people call "Christmas Creep" - when a store sets up Christmas early. 

Here is my post from 2025 when it was up in September.
Here is early October 2015, when the Menards Christmas Enchanted Forest (and blowmolds) were up.
Here is September 2016, when the Menards Christmas Enchanted Forest was up.
Here is September 2017, when the Menards Christmas Enchanted Forest was up.
Here is October 1, 2019, when the Menards Christmas Enchanted Forest was up.

I've also posted about the various Christmas Village buildings that Menards sells, including when they used to carry Lemax (now they carry their own house-brand that isn't as nice, imho).

When they say: Does he know ball Menards Christmas?

That...I know ball Menards Christmas.  

So, when I say that I was excited by something at Menards for Christmas, I think it is something worth paying attention to if you're into Christmas.

What caught my eye?

Their setup of Christmas lights. 

Specifically...they have a line of house-branded lights.  Vintage lights.  

Yes...Vintage.  Enchanted Forest Vintage Christmas Lights.  Here's one of the boxes:

And, it isn't just mini lights.  They have a whole series.  See below for my photo of the light display showing the various kinds:  Mini, reflector, C7, C9s and more:

They have transparent and ceramic multi-color C7s and C9s in the Vintage series:

They have white and colored globes in the Vintage Christmas lights series:

And, they have a couple of kinds of reflector lights:

Aren't these pretty awesome?

You can find them on Menards.com.  Here is the listing for the Enchanted Forest 20 Light Frosted reflectors:

And, here is their listing for their Vintage LED multi-color mini string Christmas lights:

Here is how Menards describes them:

The Vintage new LED technology gives you the same beloved look of the traditional incandescent bulbs with the benefits of LEDs.... The mini bulbs look just like the traditional incandescent bulbs of your childhood, but with all the perks of LEDs. Warm yourself up some hot cocoa and bring on the nostalgia, these lights will have you reminiscing about your past Christmases with fond memories. These lights will sparkle and shine to enhance all of your holiday indoor or outdoor decorating displays!

Do we need new lights?  No.  But, should we buy them?  Probably.
