There's a particular kind of magic that settles over homes during Christmas. It's not just the twinkling lights or the scent of pine—it's the feeling that every corner holds a story, every ornament carries meaning, and every carefully chosen piece brings warmth to the season.
This year, creating that magic doesn't mean filling your home with generic decorations that look identical to every other house on the street. It means choosing pieces that feel intentional, crafted with care, and designed to become part of your family's holiday tradition for years to come.
At House of Avana, we believe Christmas decor should be more than seasonal—it should be timeless. Our Christmas collection brings together handcrafted decorations, artisan-made ornaments, and thoughtfully designed pieces that elevate your holiday without overwhelming it.
Whether you're decorating your first home or reimagining traditions you've celebrated for decades, this guide will help you create a Christmas that feels authentically yours.
The Christmas Decor Trends Worth Following in 2025
Every year brings new trends, but not all of them deserve space in your home. This year, we're seeing a beautiful return to authenticity—decorations that tell stories, materials that age gracefully, and styles that honor tradition while feeling completely modern.
Scandinavian Christmas: The Trend That's Here to Stay
There's a reason Scandinavian Christmas decor has captured everyone's attention. It's the perfect balance of cozy and sophisticated, festive and understated.
The heart of this trend? Faceless Christmas gnomes. These charming figures, rooted in Nordic folklore, have become the must-have decoration of the season. Unlike mass-produced ornaments, each gnome carries character—handmade details, soft fabrics, and that distinctive charm that makes guests smile every time.
Our Vintage Scandinavian Plaid Fabric Christmas Decorations capture this aesthetic perfectly. The muted colors, natural textiles, and timeless patterns work in any home, whether your style leans traditional or contemporary.
What makes Scandinavian Christmas decor so appealing is its restraint. It doesn't shout for attention. Instead, it creates a sense of warmth and calm—exactly what the holiday season should feel like.
Vintage Nostalgia: Bringing Back the Classics
Modern life moves fast, but Christmas is when we slow down and remember. That's why vintage-inspired decorations resonate so deeply right now.
The Vintage Red and Green Christmas Decorative Statue embodies this perfectly. It's reminiscent of classic Christmas scenes from decades past—the kind of decoration your grandparents might have treasured—but crafted with quality materials that will last for generations.
Similarly, our Vintage Red Truck Christmas Figurine with Tree has become one of the most requested pieces in our collection. There's something about that red truck carrying its Christmas tree that captures the spirit of simpler times while fitting beautifully into modern homes.
Vintage doesn't mean outdated. It means choosing pieces with staying power—decorations that won't feel tired or trendy next year.
Golden Elegance: Metallic Accents Done Right
Gold has always signified luxury, but this year it's being used with more subtlety and intention.
Our Set of 3 Golden Christmas Reindeer Statue shows exactly how metallic accents should work. These aren't garish or overwhelming—they're elegant sculptures that catch the light beautifully and add warmth to any surface.
The same goes for our Set of 2 Golden Bead Reindeer Christmas Decor. The hand-beaded details create texture and visual interest that flat gold paint simply can't achieve.
When metallics are done well—through quality materials and thoughtful design—they elevate everything around them. When done poorly, they look cheap. The difference is in the craftsmanship.
Natural Materials: Wood, Pine, and Authenticity
In a world of plastic everything, natural materials feel like a breath of fresh air.
Our Botanical Handmade Wooden Christmas Wall Art brings organic beauty to your walls. Each piece is crafted from real wood, with natural variations that make every item unique. It's the kind of decoration that gets better with age rather than worse.
For wreaths and garlands, our Snow Covered Red Berry Christmas Wreath and Extra Long Artificial Garland with Pine Cones offer the beauty of natural materials without the maintenance. They look realistic, feel substantial, and last season after season.
The Wooden Style Bead Christmas Tree Hanging Decor adds that bohemian, farmhouse touch that works beautifully on trees or as garland accents.
Natural materials connect us to the season itself—to winter forests, to tradition, to the earth. That connection makes Christmas feel more meaningful.
Creating Ambiance: Lighting and Candles
Christmas is as much about how your home feels as how it looks. The right lighting transforms ordinary rooms into magical spaces.
Fairy Lights: The Foundation of Holiday Ambiance
There's something universally enchanting about fairy lights. They soften harsh edges, create depth, and make every evening feel special.
Our Golden Leaf Garland Fairy Lights Battery Operated combine beautiful design with practical function. The golden leaves catch and reflect light, creating a warm glow that's perfect for mantels, staircases, or draped across mirrors.
For something more whimsical, the LED Snowflake String Lights Indoor Decorative add a winter wonderland touch without being childish. They work beautifully in bedrooms, along windows, or woven through garlands.
The 10 LED Red Mansion Fairy Lights Battery Operated offer versatility—multiple shapes and designs that let you create custom lighting arrangements for trees, wreaths, or centerpieces.
What makes these lighting options special is that they're battery-operated. No hunting for outlets, no visible cords, no limitations on placement. Just beautiful light exactly where you want it.
Candles: The Heart of Cozy Christmas Evenings
Nothing creates atmosphere quite like candlelight. The flicker, the warmth, the subtle scent—candles transform a room instantly.
Our Holiday Scented Candle Gift Set 4 Christmas Scents has become a bestseller for good reason. Four distinct scents—vanilla, gingerbread, fir, and cedar—each capture a different aspect of the season. Light them individually or together to layer fragrances throughout your home.
For those who love variety, the Christmas Scented Candles with Siberian Fir offer that classic Christmas tree scent that instantly evokes holiday memories.
The Soy Beeswax Christmas Candles Holiday Scented use natural wax that burns cleaner and longer than conventional candles. They're also beautifully packaged, making them perfect for gifting.
If you prefer unscented options or want to display candles as decor, our Glass Pillar Candle Holder with Reindeer Tree Snowflake and Snowflake Glass Candle Holders are stunning even before you light them.
For families with small children or pets, the Flameless LED Pillar Candles Christmas Decor offer the ambiance of candlelight without any safety concerns.
Statement Lighting: Beyond the Tree
While most people focus lighting efforts on their Christmas tree, the most beautifully decorated homes layer light throughout every room.
Our LED Christmas Garland Battery Operated Holiday Decor transforms mantels and staircases with integrated lighting that looks professionally installed but requires no wiring.
The Set of 4 Birch Tree LED Lights Battery Operated create a forest-like display on sideboards or console tables. They work beautifully clustered together or spread throughout a room.
For outdoor spaces or large windows, our Christmas Reindeer String Lights Battery Operated add a playful, festive touch that's visible from the street.
Decorating Your Christmas Tree
The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of holiday decor. It deserves more than generic ornaments bought in bulk.
Mini Trees: Perfect for Small Spaces and Multiple Rooms
Not every space needs a full-size tree. Mini trees let you bring Christmas spirit to bedrooms, offices, entryways, and even dining tables.
Our Mini Artificial Christmas Tree and House Set is particularly charming. The glowing lights and included house create a complete winter scene in a compact package—perfect for apartments, side tables, or anywhere you want a touch of Christmas without overwhelming the space.
The Tabletop Christmas Tree with Simulation Bark offers a more realistic look with its detailed bark texture. It's substantial enough to feel like a "real" tree but sized for tables and counters.
For something truly unique, the LED Copper Wire Light Trees Christmas Holiday Decorations offer a modern, minimalist interpretation of Christmas trees—all light and structure with no needles to shed.
Tree Toppers and Finishing Touches
The tree topper is often an afterthought, but it's the first thing people notice when they look at your tree.
Our Golden Glitter Star Christmas Tree White LEDs combines classic symbolism with modern sparkle. The built-in LED lights make it glow from within, creating a beautiful focal point.
For a different look, the Warm White Twinkling and Golden Star Topper adds movement and dimension with its spiral design and twinkling lights.
Don't forget the base. The Knitted Christmas Tree Collar offers a cozy, textured alternative to traditional tree skirts. It's farmhouse chic without being overly rustic.
Ornaments That Tell a Story
The best ornament collections aren't matched sets—they're accumulated over years, with each piece holding meaning.
Our 80 Piece Shatterproof Christmas Decorations give you a beautiful foundation. The red and golden color palette works with any style, and the shatterproof material means you can enjoy them without worry, especially with children or pets.
For something more artisanal, the Set of 12 Blue and White Porcelain Christmas Decor brings an elegant, unexpected color palette. The Chinese-style porcelain adds cultural richness and sophistication.
The Handmade Wooden Nutcracker Soldier Christmas Tree ornaments honor a beloved Christmas tradition with quality craftsmanship.
Tablescapes and Dining Room Decor
Christmas dinner deserves a table that feels as special as the meal itself.
Serving and Display Pieces
The Christmas Tree Wooden Serving Trays serve a dual purpose—beautiful enough to display as decor, functional enough to use for serving appetizers, desserts, or charcuterie.
Our Detachable Ceramic Christmas Tree Snack Plates with Stand create a festive centerpiece while providing practical serving space for nuts, candies, or small treats.
The Santa Claus Ceramic Napkin and Tissue Holder adds a whimsical touch to the table while keeping things organized.
Table Settings and Linens
Small details make the biggest difference in tablescapes.
Our Golden Napkin Rings For Festive Table Settings instantly elevate any table. They work with both formal china and casual dinnerware, proving that metallic accents don't have to be fussy.
The Golden Green Plastic Plate and Cutlery Set for Christmas Parties solves a common problem—how to host a beautiful Christmas party without creating mountains of dishes. These look elegant enough for a formal gathering but clean up easily.
For everyday meals throughout the season, our Set of 4 Christmas Ceramic Coffee Mugs and Santa Claus Ceramic Mug Christmas Gift Set bring festive cheer to morning coffee and evening cocoa.
Centerpieces That Wow
A great centerpiece anchors the entire table without blocking conversation.
The Festive Christmas Pine Cone Wreaths with built-in candle holders create an elegant, traditional centerpiece. The natural pine cones and evergreen branches feel seasonal without being overly themed.
For something more sculptural, cluster several of our Golden Reindeer Figurines Rustic Christmas Decor down the center of the table with scattered votives and greenery.
The Christmas Wooden Trees Decorations work beautifully as a centerpiece grouping. Their varying heights create visual interest, and the "Happy New Year" sentiment extends the decor beyond Christmas Day.
Window and Wall Decorations
Windows and walls are often underutilized in Christmas decorating, but they offer huge opportunities for impact.
Window Clings and Decals
The easiest way to add Christmas cheer to windows without blocking light is with removable clings.
Our Christmas Window Stickers Snowhouse and Snowflake Designs create a winter wonderland effect. They're reusable year after year and leave no residue when removed.
The Electrostatic Snowflake Window Clings Reusable Winter Decor Set offers 114 pieces, giving you plenty of options to create custom patterns and designs.
Wreaths for Every Space
Wreaths aren't just for front doors anymore. Place them above mantels, on interior doors, or as wall art.
Our Snow Covered Red Berry Christmas Wreath has that perfect frosted look—like it just came in from a winter walk. The red berries add just enough color without overwhelming the subtle elegance.
The Golden Accents Winter Holiday Decor wreath combines pine, golden accents, and a substantial size that makes a statement. It works equally well indoors or on a protected porch.

Figurines and Collectible Decor

Our Faceless Holiday Gnome Santa Figures Handmade come as a set of three, perfect for mantels, shelves, or entryway tables. The handmade quality shows in every detail—the texture of the fabric, the weight of the piece, the carefully chosen colors.
The Vintage Christmas Gnome Curtain Hanging Decorations offer a different approach—these clip onto curtain rods, adding unexpected pops of festivity to windows.
For larger spaces, the Extra Large 40 Inch Standing Christmas Gnome Holiday Decor makes a dramatic statement. At over three feet tall, it's the kind of piece that becomes a conversation starter and a family favorite.
The Nordic Style Faceless Christmas Decorations and Christmas Gnome Plush Decorations offer variations on the theme, each with its own character.
Classic Christmas Characters

The 12 Inch Life Size Santa Claus Doll has that vintage appeal with posable arms and a sitting base. It's substantial enough to display prominently but sized to fit on shelves and mantels.
Our Stacked Snowmen Dolls with Let It Snow Tags capture the joy of winter with their friendly faces and stacked design.
The Set of 2 Snowman Christmas Tree ornaments work on trees or displayed separately as charming accents.
For something that combines all the classic elements, the Christmas Figurines with Santa Snowman Reindeer set gives you three beloved characters in one cohesive design.
Reindeer: The Most Elegant Christmas Symbol
There's something inherently elegant about reindeer—their graceful lines, impressive antlers, and connection to Christmas mythology.
Our Elegant Black and Golden Deer Figurines prove that Christmas decor can be sophisticated. The contrast between black bodies and golden antlers creates visual drama that works in modern, traditional, or eclectic homes.
The Modern Minimalist Golden Resin Deer Sculpture Christmas Decor Set strips away unnecessary detail, focusing on pure form. It's Christmas decor for the design-conscious.

Styling Tips from Our Design Team
Having beautiful pieces is one thing. Knowing how to arrange them is another.
Layer Heights and Textures
Never place everything at the same height. Use books, risers, or grouped items to create levels. A reindeer figurine looks good on a shelf. A reindeer figurine on a stack of vintage books with a small wreath leaning behind it looks intentional.
