Mr. Christmas Jumbo Lit Carousel Horse vs Painted Wooden Carousel Horse

Buy the Mr. Christmas 50 in. Jumbo Lit Carousel Horse if you want a lit, weather-resistant decoration you can put on a porch or lawn tonight. Buy the Painted Wooden Carousel Horse if you want a single antique wooden figure as a display piece indoors. The Mr. Christmas is blow-molded plastic with 20 warm white LEDs, a 6-hour timer and a 90-day warranty; owners praise the thick molding, paint detail and quick screw-together assembly, but several note the adapter plug should not sit in weather, so treat it as indoor-first. The wooden horse is a one-of-a-kind 1880 piece with glass eyes and a twisted brass pole, far larger and heavier, with no lighting and no weather protection.

  • Choose the Mr. Christmas Jumbo Lit Carousel Horse if you want a large lighted carousel decoration with a timer for a porch, entryway or lawn.
  • Choose the Painted Wooden Carousel Horse if you want a genuine 1880 wooden carousel figure as an indoor statement piece.

What reviewers say

Mr. Christmas Jumbo Lit Carousel Horse

Buyers like the size, the detail and the easy assembly, and many say it lights up beautifully and brings back carousel memories. The main complaint is that the power setup undercuts the outdoor claim.

What people mention
  • AssemblyPraisedOwners say the poles screw in easily and the horse goes up in minutes.
  • SizePraisedBuyers call it large and eye-catching, a real statement on a porch or lawn.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe thick blow mold and paint that should last several seasons.
  • LightingPraisedThe warm white LEDs are said to glow beautifully after dark.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a front porch?
The Mr. Christmas horse. It is weather resistant, UL listed and has a 6-hour timer. Keep the adapter plug out of the weather, since the instructions warn against exposing it.
Which lasts longer?
The wooden horse is already about 140 years old and is built from solid wood, so it can outlast any plastic decoration with care. The Mr. Christmas horse is durable blow mold but carries only a 90-day warranty.
Is the wooden horse worth stepping up to?
Only if you want an antique display piece indoors. It is larger, unlit and not weather rated, so it does not replace a lighted outdoor decoration.
Can the Mr. Christmas horse stay outside all winter?
It is rated for outdoor use and is weather resistant, but owners report the plug cannot be in the weather and the instructions forbid an extension cord. Place it where the outlet and adapter stay dry.
How big is the difference in size?
The wooden horse is roughly 67 in. tall and 36 in. wide against 50 in. by 26 in. for the Mr. Christmas horse. The wooden one also needs far more floor space.
Does either one light up?
Only the Mr. Christmas horse, which has 20 warm white LEDs and a timer. The wooden horse has no lighting.
