The Ultimate Holiday Decor Guide 2023

As November approaches, it’s time to start thinking about the holiday season. While it may still feel early to some, there’s no time like the present to start prepping for the holidays by purchasing decor pieces now.

Artificial Christmas trees, garland, and wreaths are some of the holiday essentials that tend to sell out quickly each year. Buying these items now ensures you have the pick of the best selection so you won’t be disappointed once it’s time to deck the halls.

We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful holiday essentials to help inspire your holiday decorating this year.

Christmas Trees

Putting up the Christmas tree is a cherished tradition by many that brings so much joy to the holiday season. It happens to be one of our favourite traditions as well. We dedicate an evening in November to put up the tree and adorn it with our treasured ornaments while listening to Christmas corals and sipping hot chocolate.

  1. Balsam Fir Tree
  2. Flocked Vermont Spruce
  3. Alaskan Spruce Tree
  4. Flocked Downswept Tree
  5. Monaco Pine Tree
  6. Norwegian Spruce Tree
  7. Washington Spruce Tree
  8. Flocked Norway Tree

Holiday Garland

Decorating with holiday garland is an easy way to add a little festive spirit to your home during the holiday season. Whether draped along staircases, mantels, or doorways, garland instantly adds a touch of seasonal charm. Our favourite is the Real Touch Norfolk Pine, but it sells out early every year so grab it now if you like it!

  1. Juniper Garland
  2. Winter Evergreen Garland
  3. Cedar Garland
  4. Bustling Pine Garland
  5. Cedar Garland
  6. Real Touch Pine Garland

Holiday Wreaths

A simple wreath hung on the front door is a timeless tradition that adds festive charm to any home, while welcoming guests during the holidays. But don’t stop at the front door, hung on windows, above a bed or layered over a mirror are all beautiful and festive options.

  1. Real Touch Norfolk Pine Wreath
  2. Cedar Wreath
  3. Cedar and Pinecone Wreath
  4. Juniper Wreath
  5. Cypress Wreath
  6. Cedar Wreath
  7. Hemlock Wreath

Tree Toppers

Adding the star to the top of the tree is such a time-honoured holiday tradition, here are a few of our favourite Christmas tree toppers that are sure to remain treasured heirlooms for years to come.

  1. Embossed Star Topper
  2. Gilded Iron Bird Topper
  3. Sequin Star Topper

  8. Gold Starburst Topper
  9. Capiz Star Topper
  10. Capiz Gold Star Topper
  11. Antique Star Topper
  12. Burst Gold Star Topper

Tree Skirts and Collars

The base of the tree is just as important as the top, choose a beautiful tree skirt or collar to set the tone for your holiday tree.

  1. Woven Scallop Tree Collar
  2. Ivory Velvet Heritage Tree Skirt
  3. Velvet Brown Tree Skirt
  4. Sylvan Faux Fur Tree Skirt

  8. Basket Woven Tree Collar
  9. Abaca Tree Collar
  10. Luxe Faux Fur Tree Skirt

Holiday Stockings

Hung by the fireplace or staircase, a group of beautiful holiday stockings creates a sense of anticipation and tradition. I like to personalize each stocking with a simple ornament or embellishment to make them feel extra special.

  1. European Flax Linen Stocking
  2. Cozy Knit Stocking
  3. Block Print Stocking
  4. Striped Knit Stocking
  5. Checkered Knit Stocking
  6. Vintage Inspired Stocking
  7. Sylvan Faux Fur Stocking
