Traditional
You can never go wrong with a traditional take with bright reds, forest greens, white snowy accents, and gold detailing. Think quintessential Christmas basics like: evergreen garlands, holly berries, bells, stockings along the mantel, and warm white lighting.
Vintage
A vintage Christmas has an old-world charm that feels like stepping into Grandma’s home. Think antique-inspired wooden ornaments and brass accents. The palette feels moodier with rich shades like burgundy and emerald.
’90s nostalgia
Channel your inner Kevin McCallister with an adult-sized decorating budget. Nowadays, millennials are trading the beige aesthetic to familiar and comforting designs from the 1990s, including during the holidays. Think rainbow baubles, candy-colored accents, playful ornaments, tinsel, and bubble lights.
Ralph Lauren-inspired
Ralph Lauren Christmas was a standout trend last year, and the polished, traditional look is still going strong in 2026. Velvet, bows, tartan, and plaid in rich holiday hues deliver that elevated feel. This year, go a step further and add Polo Bear-inspired picks for a playful touch.
Minimalist
For a simpler take on holiday decorating, minimalist Christmas keeps things festive without feeling overdone. Neutral tones, fresh greenery, and soft textures bring warmth, while a few classic decorations make the space feel seasonal.
Pretty in pink
It’s just like Paris Hilton and Barbie teamed up to plan Christmas. From the ornaments to the tree itself, this feminine, romantic look puts a playful twist on holiday decorating.
Blue Christmas
If you’re tired of red and green Christmas decor, switch gears and go with a blue holiday instead. Pair navy with gold or silver and chinoiserie-inspired details for a look that’s sophisticated and cozy.
Whimsical woodland
Kitschy animal decor is having a moment. Ornaments and decor featuring foxes, owls, and deer create a storybook feel when paired with forest greenery, natural textures, and earthy hues.
Foodie-themed
For anyone who loves a playful theme—or just loves food—foodie Christmas is a sweet way to decorate. Food-inspired ornaments, gingerbread houses, vintage cookie jars, and candles that smell like fresh-baked treats will transform your home into The Great British Baking Show. And with all those treats doubling as decor, you have every reason to bake another batch.
Après sky aesthetic
For a winter wonderland meets ski chalet, après ski Christmas has the charm of a festive snow-covered lodge. Add frosted greenery, ivory plush textures that mimic snow, and of course, ski-themed decor.
