Deck the halls with these on-trend ideas!

For Christmas 2025, we're returning to aesthetics that evoke warmth, childlike fun, and a heaping dose of nostalgia. Even better? Most of these holiday decor ideas use pieces you likely already own, which means you can create a beautiful holiday home while still being budget-friendly.

Top Christmas Decorating Trends For 2025

1. A Very Vintage Christmas

Lovingly coined as “kitschmas,” this trend is a real blast from the kitschy past. Incorporate sparkling tinsel, ‘60s hues (hello pink and teal!), vintage ornaments and platters, and even throwback foods. Decorate with your grandma’s old pieces or head to a consignment store to pick up some well-loved second-hand finds.

2. Nostalgia

The holidays are all about creature comforts and childlike joy. Evoke the warmth of Christmases past by leaning into nostalgic decor. From your favourite childhood ornaments on your eclectic tree to mismatched tablescapes, this trend leans into your coziest memories.

3. Underconsumption core

Between gifts, a holiday season that seems evermore expensive, and an overarching push for sustainability, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing a surge in underconsumption this year. But buying less doesn’t mean taking the sparkle out of the season. Opt for DIY ornaments—such as paper ornaments or bow garland—bathe your home in soft candlelight, and welcome in soothing touches. Think, a welcoming Little Women-inspired holiday that celebrates what you already have. 

4. Ralph Lauren Aesthetic

With the old money aesthetic continuing to be all the rage in fashion and decor, it’s only fitting that Ralph Lauren is making its way into our holiday decor. To copy the look, go for Ralph Lauren’s signature style—hunter greens, rich reds, aged brass, and navy blues—and sophisticated notes. Winter-toned tartans, crystal glassware, and fireside comfort are at the heart of this trend.

5. Oversized bows

Bows aren’t new to holiday decor, but their size is getting taken up a notch this year. Instead of your usual star or angel, top your Christmas tree with a comically-oversized bow. For an extra dose of Anthropologie-esque quirk, go for a large-width stripe pattern.
