It's Christmas time once again, which can only mean one thing for your home: it's time to break out the glittering Christmas light.

When you’re ready to post, use these Christmas lights captions and quotes to make your Instagram feed shimmer.

It’s the same way Halloween doesn't feel complete without a pumpkin carving, and Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving until you trace your hand on a piece of paper and call it a turkey. You don’t truly feel the holiday spirit until your lights are strung up and twinkling in December. The same could be said about your Instagram posts. They just feel incomplete without a proper caption, and the perfect Christmas light captions are the best way to make your post shine bright like a diamond (or like the top of your Christmas tree.

To go along with all your sparkling selfies and shimmering TikTok videos, you need these 55 Christmas lights quotes.
