8 Must-Have Christmas Decor You Can Buy Right Now
Kickstart Your Holiday Decorating With These Essentials
When I decorate for the holidays, I always start with the basics: a tree, some lights, stockings, and classic ornaments. Because to many of us, this season is nostalgic and filled with classic traditions—so your Christmas decor should reflect that! Use traditional decor as your foundation, then just add new and creative spins on them each year. So if you’re in charge of holiday decor for the first time or if you want a refreshing new take on the holidays, these must-haves are the perfect starting point!
1. Christmas Trees

2. Tree Toppers

A unique or eye-catching stocking holder is another way you can put a new spin on classic Christmas decor. Instead of plain hooks or boring designs, why not go for something more festive? I love this one from Pottery Barn. Buy a set of stocking holders here.
6. Garlands

Garlands are some of the simplest Christmas decor you can have, but they make a huge impact as well! Something about garlands really puts me into a festive mood, even in the most modern and trendy of homes. If you only have room for one Christmas decor, it would be a toss up between garlands and lights! Pick this garland for your home in this link.
7. Lights
