Christmas Trends
These festive looks will define December, showcasing the must-have décor and standout high-street finds of Christmas 2025.
With brands launching seasonal collections as early as September, this year’s trends are already clear. After exploring the latest ranges in-store and online, one theme stands out: nostalgia meets bold self-expression.
In times of uncertainty, comforting, familiar styles are thriving. Pinterest has reported a sharp rise in searches for retro décor, especially “retro Christmas tree.” At the same time, many are moving away from quiet, rustic aesthetics in favour of more playful, personalised designs.
Here are the key trends set to dominate the season:
Burgundy
A timeless shade making a strong comeback. Burgundy remains popular from autumn into the festive season and is the defining colour of Christmas 2025. Searches for red bows are also climbing.
Scandi Paper Stars
Replacing last year’s paper trees, oversized Scandinavian-style paper stars are this year’s hero décor. Their simple, nostalgic feel makes them an instant favourite.
Bows in Every Form
Bows continue to reign, now reimagined in faux fur, organza, and oversized sculptural styles. Expect fresh colours paired with nostalgic charm.
Nutcrackercore
Inspired by the classic ballet, this trend blends whimsical theatrical elements, jewel tones, and ornate detailing. Traditional nutcracker figures are being refreshed with modern finishes.
Tinsel Revival
Retro influences are back, and tinsel is leading the charge. Layer it with baubles and lights or drape it across mantels for a playful yet balanced nostalgic look.
Dark & Moody Christmas (Gothmas)
One of the season’s most dramatic trends. Think candlelight, lace, antique-inspired pieces, and deep, romantic tones. This isn’t spooky décor—it's elegant, atmospheric, and richly styled.
Minimalist Twig Trees
Alternative trees are gaining popularity, from twig designs to sleek wooden frames. While maximalism is big this year, extreme minimalism is also trending as a form of self-expression.
Harlequin Patterns
A bold twist on traditional checks, diamond-patterned décor adds a circus-inspired whimsy that aligns perfectly with the nostalgic mood.
Gourmand Christmas
Food-themed ornaments continue to rise, now featuring everything from mince pies to matcha-inspired baubles. Any favourite treat can become a decoration in 2025.
