One change you should make to your Christmas decorations to save money on bills

Christmas is supposed to be a time of joyous celebration with family and friends, but with the cost of living crisis, many households are considering cutting back this year. The soaring cost of bills is on everyone's minds this winter, and with the festive season just around the corner, the added expenses will be a cause of concern for many.

But celebrating Christmas doesn't mean you'll end up with a massive bill, as energy experts at Utility Bidder have come up with a few simple ways to cut costs - and one of them involves the type of decorations you use. If you plan on buying twinkly lights this year, you should opt for LED ones.

Lights play a big part in getting your home ready for Christmas, whether they're on the tree or strung outside the house, so choosing the most energy efficient kind is key to cutting costs. It's been reported that LED lights use just 10 per cent of the energy that non-LED lights use, which will help to lower your energy bills.
