About XmasLightCost.online
XmasLightCost.online is a tiny, seasonal toolset designed to take a bit of stress out of the holidays. We help you estimate how much your Christmas lights cost to run, and plan safe thawing schedules for your holiday turkey.
Our mission
The goal of this site is simple: provide fast, mobile-friendly tools that answer very specific holiday questions, without requiring an account, sign-up, or complicated settings.
- Help you understand and control your holiday electricity usage.
- Promote safer food preparation through simple thawing guidance.
- Offer straightforward, ad-light experiences that load quickly.
How the tools work
The calculators on this website use simple, transparent formulas that are based on widely used rules of thumb:
- Christmas light cost: power (Watts) is converted to kilowatt-hours (kWh) based on how many hours per day and how many days you run your lights, multiplied by your electricity rate.
- Turkey thaw time: estimates are based on common guidelines such as fridge thawing (about 24 hours for every 4–5 lb) and cold-water thawing (about 30 minutes per pound).
These tools are intended for planning and educational purposes only and should not replace official safety guidance in your country.
