The best Christmas lights without cord run on sunlight or batteries, so you can light a fence, a jar or a table with no outlet nearby. We scored six sets, from solar strings to a 24 pack of mini fairy lights.
Each set made the list because its listing shows battery or solar power, and we scored it only on its own Amazon details. We did not test these lights in person. Read more in our editorial policy, or see our main best christmas lights guide for more choices.

Picking Cordless Christmas Lights That Fit Your Plans
Solar or Battery First
Solar strings charge from the sun and suit outdoor spots with good light. Battery strands go anywhere, including jars and tables, but need fresh cells over time.
Count the Strands in the Box
Most of these picks come in packs, from 2 to 24 strands. A big pack of short strands fills many small jars, while a few long solar strings cover a fence or tree.
Look for Listed Run Time
Good listings give hours, not just battery type. YOEEN and chzk list up to 72 hours, and the EEW solar set lists up to 10 hours per full charge.
Watch the Battery Box
A string can carry an IP65 rating while its battery box is not waterproof. YOEEN says this plainly, so keep that box dry outdoors.
Remote and Timer Extras
Only one pick here lists a remote. SINAMER adds 2, 4, 6 or 8 hour timers, which helps when lights sit in hard to reach spots.
