Holiday Décor Trends for 2025

It’s finally the merriest time of year! And in 2025, consumers are embracing bigger, bolder, and more nostalgic ways to deck the halls.

More than half of people say decorating for Christmas gives them something to look forward to each year. From playful baubles to warm, earthy neutrals, this year’s trends offer something for everyone.

Regardless of how you celebrate, nothing brings in holiday joy quite like a Christmas tree! Big, small, artificial, or real, there is no such thing as a bad Christmas tree.

The Centerpiece of Your Celebration

At the heart of a well-decorated tree is, of course, the tree itself. 83% of households planning to display a Christmas tree this season will choose an artificial one, reflecting a consistent preference seen for more than a decade. Artificial trees remain popular for their convenience, longevity, and variety of sizes, shapes, and styles.

When choosing your tree, think about the height and width of your space to ensure your selection fits seamlessly. A well-proportioned tree allows your ornaments, bows, and other décor elements to shine.

A Tree for Every Room

This year, decorators are taking holiday cheer beyond the living room by placing multiple trees throughout the home. Mini and tabletop trees are popping up in kitchens, bedrooms, and offices, bringing festive charm to every corner. Mixing sizes, styles, and themes allows households to create a layered, immersive holiday experience. Small trees can complement larger statement trees in shared spaces, while themed mini trees give each room a unique personality. Whether used as playful accents or cozy décor, multiple trees help extend the holiday spirit throughout the home, making every space feel merry and bright.

Ralph Lauren Christmas

This year’s “it” trend is the Ralph Lauren Christmas aesthetic—a cozy, nostalgic Americana look that feels timeless and effortlessly elegant. Deep red and forest green tartans, warm lighting, and elevated accents like sophisticated dinnerware and chic throw blankets create a traditional holiday atmosphere with a modern flair. To bring this look to your tree, consider adding plaid ribbons and bows for texture and depth, classic ornaments in red, green, and gold, warm white lights to enhance coziness, and statement accents like miniature plaid stockings or elegant figurines.

Big, Bold, and Beautiful: Baubles and Bows

Christmas 2025 is all about scale, with oversized baubles and giant bows dominating holiday décor. Oversized baubles range from retro glass to artisanal pieces in bold colors, and many are crafted from sustainable materials such as wood, clay, or recycled glass. Metallic finishes and jewel tones add a luxurious sparkle. Bows are bigger and bolder than ever, from giant statement toppers to velvet ribbons in rich jewel tones and playful satin bows. They can be woven throughout your tree to bring charm and fun to your holiday styling.

Warm Neutrals

Another emerging trend is warm neutrals, which use browns, bronze, soft gold, and other earthy tones to create an elegant, cozy backdrop for the season. Matte or metallic ornaments in muted shades, neutral garlands, and ribbons, as well as textures inspired by nature such as wood and woven elements, all help to tie the look together. This palette is ideal for creating a serene, stylish space that feels welcoming year-round.

Sustainable Holiday Décor

Sustainability is shaping how many people decorate this year, proving festive can also mean thoughtful. Natural accents like pinecones, dried oranges, and foraged greenery bring warmth and reduce waste, while reusable materials such as wood, fabric, and recycled glass add texture and charm. Upcycled ornaments and repurposed décor create a nostalgic feel, and a mindful, minimalist approach keeps the season calm, intentional, and beautiful—all while being better for the planet.

Nostalgia

Many decorators are also turning to nostalgia, drawing on the magic and simplicity of childhood Christmases. From classic ornaments and snow globes to keepsake decorations made by little hands, nostalgic décor evokes warmth, comfort, and timeless traditions. This trend often incorporates traditional reds and greens, pops of warm gold, and vintage-style ornaments, family heirlooms, and sentimental décor pieces. By leaning into familiar rituals and cherished memories, nostalgic décor helps create a holiday that feels both cozy and meaningful.

Your Holiday, Your Style

2025’s Christmas décor trends give you the freedom to express your personality while creating a festive and inviting home. No matter your space, budget, or preferred style, the season is all about joy, creativity, and making memories.
