Ikea’s smart bulbs are compatible without much effort (Home Assistant running Zigbee2MQTT). Much cheaper and widely available year round, only downside I’ve seen is the temperature range isn’t nearly as impressive as the white ambiance Hue bulbs.

I’ve got several Hue bulbs running through Zigbee2MQTT on HA.
No issues, easy setup, and annoyingly expensive but they have the temperature range my wife prefers.
