Tis’ the season to be jolly, right? And, after all, what could be more jolly than hanging a strand or two of those festive, colorful Christmas lights in or around your home? Perhaps a cup of egg nog chai or pumpkin spice goodness from Starbucks, but that’s neither here nor there, really, because the news we have to share with you today is more related to the former as opposed to the latter.

Yep, you guessed it, Apple Stores all around the country (as well as Apple’s online storefront) began selling these awesome, app-enabled strand lights just in time for the holidays!
