The holidays can get hectic — there’s no denying that. But the good news is that there are plenty of tech and appliance innovations out there that can make your gatherings run smoothly and make the season that much more fun! From kitchen helpers like wine bottle openers and dual coffee makers to fun (and functional) decor like lights that sync with your music, Walmart is the place to shop to keep up with all the best tech trends that’ll make your holidays bright and merry.
Even better, Walmart makes staying on trend with holiday tech and appliance innovations affordable, too. With its steady rotation of rollbacks and everyday low prices on in-house products, as well as top brands you know and love, it’s easy to keep your holiday celebrations under budget.
Make the Holidays Less Hectic — and More Fun — With Walmart
You can shop online at Walmart.com or in the Walmart app, and place your order to ship to your home in as little as two days. Or, you can opt for convenient pickup in-store or curbside (when and where available) so you can quickly grab everything you need for gifting and gathering while you’re out running errands.
You don’t need to be a Walmart+ member to enjoy the ease and convenience this holiday season, but members do gain access to special benefits, including:
- Update to: Early access to Black Friday savings — shop 3 hours before non-Walmart+ shoppers!
- Free shipping (with no order minimum) on all orders
- Unlimited free delivery as fast as same-day on groceries, last-minute gifts and more from your local Walmart
- Savings on gas for holiday road trips
- Cash back on flights, hotels and more for holiday travels
Knowing you have that backup is key to reducing the inevitable stress that comes along with the season, and — in addition to the helpful tech we’ve gathered here — can help you enjoy more time with family and friends this holiday season.
8 Trending Tech and Appliance Finds to Level Up Your Holiday Celebrations
Holiday Time Christmas Led Gold Star Tree Topper
This tree topper may seem relatively simple at first glance, but it’s actually hiding a super cool trick within its sparkly gold exterior. It has a built-in LED lamp that can cast a rotating projection of holiday icons above your tree like snowflakes, snowmen, reindeer and Santa himself. It comes with six interchangeable cards so you can switch up the images and dazzle your holiday guests with a light show.
Price: $16.98
Better Homes & Gardens Electric Wine Opener Set
There’s no better way to kick off your holiday celebrations than with a bottle of bubbly, but struggling with that pesky cork can really put a damper on things. Fortunately, this innovative battery-powered wine opener can do all the work for you: just place it on top of an unopened bottle and press the button. The set also comes with a foil cutter, pourer, two vacuum wine stoppers and a classy wooden pedestal to display it all.

Beautiful 3-Quart Air Fryer With TurboCrisp Technology
Crafting the holiday meal for a whole crowd often requires you to call in reinforcements to reheat pre-made dishes or cook sides while the oven is occupied. An air fryer is a small but mighty solution that can help. And since it sits on full display for any guest that comes into your kitchen to see, it might as well be beautiful, like this 3-quart air fryer from Drew Barrymore’s aptly named Beautiful Kitchenware line, exclusively at Walmart. It has a soft matte finish and a touch-activated display that keeps it looking sleek as it quickly and evenly cooks up crispy dishes. We love it in this neutral “white icing” shade, but it’s also available in the very festive shades of thyme green and merlot.
Price: $29.96
Roku Smart Home Smart Light Strip
No holiday decor is complete without lights — but this smart light strip from Roku will take things to the next level. The 16.4 feet of peel-and-stick lights can be trimmed to suit your needs to highlight a piece of decor here, frame a doorway there — or whatever you like. They connect wirelessly to the Roku Smart Home app on your phone so you can easily control multiple strips with 16 million color combinations, adjustable light temperature and brightness, presets, timers and sleep mode. But perhaps best of all is the sound sync feature that syncs your lights to the beat of any music you play into the controller’s built-in microphone. It doesn’t get more festive than that!
Price: $22.88
Core Innovations Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone
If you like to do a little caroling with your crew, this wireless karaoke mic will make your musical moments even merrier. It has flashy LED lights and built-in stereo speakers, and it seamlessly pairs with your phone to stream your favorite sing-along tunes. You can even record your renditions in HD to relive the memories later.
Price: $29.88
Keurig K-Duo Essentials Coffee Maker
You may be used to enjoying just a single cup of coffee each day (okay, maybe two!) — but when you need to serve a crowd, it’s time to bring out the big pot. This genius coffee maker provides the best of both worlds: a brewer for your daily one-cup-at-a-time caffeine fix and a carafe for making up to 12 cups of coffee at once. You can use a K-cup or ground coffee for either option so both you and your guests can enjoy a perfect cup of joe. And to sweeten the deal, it’s currently 21% off!

Vintage decor is experiencing a big resurgence this holiday season — and if you have some holiday records on hand, you can bring the vintage vibe into this century with this wireless turntable, too. It looks just as cool as an old-school vinyl player but it’s Bluetooth-enabled so you can play those records on any connected speaker in your home (and with improved sound quality, to boot). Grab it now while it’s on sale!

Make it that much easier to get all your holiday baking and meal prep done with this deluxe KitchenAid mixer in a beautiful blush tint. It includes a 4.5-quart stainless steel bowl (that’s enough capacity for eight dozen cookies!), a flat beater, an “S” dough hook and a metal whip. Plus, it features 10 speeds for kneading, mixing and whipping up every recipe on the menu.
