Pet- and Kid-Safe Holiday Lighting: What Every Family Should Know
January 27, 2025

Holiday lights bring excitement, joy, and sparkle to your home—but if you have young kids or curious pets, safety matters just as much as style.

At On Point Holiday Lighting, we specialize in displays that are not only beautiful and bright—but also safe for every member of the family, including four-legged ones. Whether you're decking the halls for your toddler’s first Christmas or lighting up the yard with a pup in tow, we've got you covered.

Here’s how we design holiday lighting displays that keep safety at the forefront for DFW families.

No Loose Cords or Trip Hazards

One of the biggest risks in DIY lighting setups? Extension cords stretching across walkways, yards, or entry points.

Our professional installations:

  • Use custom-cut light strands to minimize excess wire
  • Tuck and secure all connections safely away from play areas
  • Keep cords off the ground and out of paw or toddler reach

You won’t have to worry about trips, chews, or tugs.

Cool-to-the-Touch LED Lights

All of our lighting uses commercial-grade LED bulbs, which:

  • Stay cool, even after hours of use
  • Lower the risk of burns if touched
  • Use less electricity, making them safer for long runtimes

This is especially important for little hands and curious noses that like to explore everything they see.

Non-Damaging Clips and Mounting

We never use nails, staples, or adhesives that could leave sharp edges or damage siding. Instead, we secure your display with:

  • Clip-on fasteners designed for temporary, non-invasive use
  • Mounting hardware that’s out of reach from pets or children
  • Outdoor-safe materials that stay intact even in winter weather

Your home stays intact—and your lighting stays secure.

Safe Walkways and Entry Points

If your family or guests will be using the front yard or porch regularly, we can design lighting to improve visibility without cluttering paths. This includes:

  • Lit walkways or driveway borders
  • Highlighted steps or railing wraps
  • Entryway accents that keep things festive and functional

You’ll love how it looks—and how safe it feels.

Fully Maintained Displays

If anything goes wrong—like a light strand slipping out of place—we handle the repair quickly. Just let us know, and we’ll return for:

  • Fast, no-cost fixes
  • Repositioning lights that get nudged out of place
  • Seasonal check-ins to keep everything tidy

This is especially valuable for homes with energetic pets or outdoor playtime.

Holiday Magic Without the Worry

We’ve worked with families all across Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, and the wider DFW area who want peace of mind during the holidays. Our lighting displays let you:

  • Enjoy the beauty of the season
  • Avoid the stress of safety concerns
  • Focus on creating memories with your kids and pets

No hazards, no hassle—just holiday joy.
