Chinese Reindeer Sleigh Outdoor Christmas Decor on Roof
Nothing heightens that holiday excitement quite like a slew of Christmas decorations. If you're like us, when the clock strikes midnight on Thanksgiving that only means one thing — time to start decorating.
From wreaths and garlands (pre-lit and battery-operated, of course!) to table runners, Advent calendars, holiday throw pillows and oversized nutcrackers, we've rounded up the best holiday decorations you can buy right now.
The Company Store Holiday Felt Stocking
Handmade by artisans, these personalized felt stockings have a vintage feel to them that we're obsessed with. And fear not: Given the stockings' 12 image options — from a fox or gnome to a snowman or Santa — you can have individualized options for each member of your family. The best part, however, is that you can monogram the stockings with a name for free until Nov. 21 (after that it's $6 to $12). Just be sure to order this early, as customization takes an additional five to seven business days.
Opalhouse Solid Knit Stocking
Yep, it's official, this is the coziest-looking stocking we've ever seen. Available in nine colorways, from light pink to bright blue, the stocking is easy to hang, thanks to its attached loop — but our favorite details are the on-trend fuzzy pompoms and fringe tassels in bright accent hues.
L.L.Bean Christmas Needlepoint Stocking
If you're on the hunt for a truly traditional stocking, look no further than L.L.Bean's needlepoint options. Featuring cotton thread on the front and a velvet backing, the stockings have seven scenic options — from dogs sledding to Santa in his sleigh — and they can be personalized with a name up to 10 characters long for an additional eight bucks.
Advent Calendar Stocking
The ultimate twofer, this neutral felt stocking doubles as an Advent calendar! Perfect for monochromatic aesthetics, the stocking is also great for small spaces that don't have room for a larger countdown calendar.
National Tree Company 24-Inch Pre-Lit Artificial Crestwood Spruce Christmas Wreath
Flocked Christmas trees are a major trend this year, so it's no surprise that Amazon's No. 1 wreath also features the faux snowflake effect on its branches. Featuring more than 100 branch tips and battery-operated, the wreath also have more than 3,000 positive Amazon reviews.
Threshold Designed With Studio McGee XL Wreath
We're calling this faux wreath from Studio McGee's collab with Target's Threshold brand "minimalist chic." Featuring monochromatic spruce needles, accented by a white bell and gold ribbon, the extra-large wreath clocks in at 30 inches in diameter, making it perfect for a big ol' front door or for filling up an empty wall this winter. Bonus: Given its lack of overtly Christmasy details, the wreath can stay up straight through spring.
Home Accents Holiday 36-Inch Mixed Pine Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Wreath
If you're someone who prefers to decorate your own wreath, this is the option for you. Bursting with more than 400 pine tips, the faux wreath features 70 color-changing LEDs, can be placed indoors or out and — our favorite detail — is battery-operated! Looking for something slightly smaller? Opt for the 30-inch version that is $10 less.
Home Accents Holiday 30-Inch St. Germain Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Wreath ($54.98; homedepot.com)
Home Accents Holiday 30-Inch St. Germain Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Wreath
Don't think a wreath can be glamorous? Think again! Mixing faux pine tips with eucalyptus stems, this gorgeous wreath's highlight is an oversized, shimmering gold bow and lots of shiny gold ornaments to match. Sized at 30 inches in diameter, the battery-operated wreath has a timer and a matching 9-foot-long garland that is perfect for encasing your front door or wrapping along a stair railing.
Nathalie Lete 12 Days of Christmas Table Runner ($68; anthropologie.com)
Nathalie Lete 12 Days of Christmas Table Runner
If "Twelve Days of Christmas" isn't in your top five favorite holiday songs then, well, you're doing the holidays wrong! Clearly, we are fans, which is why we're completely smitten with this illustrated depiction of the tune onto a stunning table runner by French artist Nathalie Lete. Whimsical and humorous, the runner's drawings are sure to conjure up dinner conversations while also anchoring your holiday table in the most festive way possible.
Threshold Designed With Studio McGee Gold Antique Tabletop Tree
Adding varying heights to your table is an eye-catching way to achieve depth and texture this winter, and these gorgeous gold trees (available in medium and large sizes) from Threshold designed with Studio McGee will do the trick. Cluster a few amidst candles and greenery, and your chic table will be good to go.
LED Brush Tree Forest Table Piece ($128; anthropologie.com)
LED Brush Tree Forest Table Piece
In case you missed it, bottle brush trees are having a major moment this year. Need proof? Look no further than this beautiful table piece from Anthropologie that includes 16 trees of varying heights, all of which are built into a base of wicker branches. The best detail, however, is that battery-operated LED lights are woven into the forest, adding a twinkling vibe to your table centerpiece.
Williams Sonoma Twas The Night Before Collection
Set a regal table with some help from Williams Sonoma this holiday season. While the brand offers a slew of beautiful tabletop offerings, we're partial to the Twas the Night Before collection, which is based upon the 19th-century poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" and is full of vintage-style artwork depicting Santa and his sleigh, a bountiful wreath, reindeer and more. The collection includes coordinating platters and serving pieces galore, dinner, salad and appetizer plates, glassware and more. While each piece features rotating focal points, they all tie together with a beautiful gold scroll border, working to create the merriest tablescape of all.

Tie in your aforementioned Williams Sonoma serving and dining pieces with this coordinating set that includes an expansive table runner (it's 108 inches long!) and a set of four napkins, each of which features a holiday icon — i.e., a nutcracker, a Christmas tree, Santa on his sleigh and, of course, a beloved reindeer.

Monogram Snow Globe Ornament
Anthropologie is combining two of our favorite things — ornaments and snow globes — with these adorable monogrammed options that feature letters A through Z, each bearing its very own festive tableau.
Home Accents Holiday Dark Brown Wicker Christmas Tree Collar
Looking for the antithesis to the traditional tree skirt? Meet: the tree collar! Perfect for encasing your tree's unsightly base (whether it's a real or faux tree, we don't want to see it), collars are much tidier than their skirt predecessors that often bunched, wrinkled and caused passersby to trip. We love this traditional wicker option from Home Depot's Home Accents Holiday line that brings a woodsy feel to the space while also being affordable.
Wondershop Metal Tree Collar Glossy Red
Shinier than Santa's sleigh, this collar is sure to be the focal point of your tree this year. Fire-engine red, the lacquered metal collar will fit trees of any size and is also incredibly durable, ensuring that you'll be using it for years to come.
Wooden Tree Collar ($103.20; grandinroad.com)
Wooden Tree Collar
We know, we know, there are a lot of tree collars on our list, but trust us, this trend isn't going anywhere — and once you go collar, you never look back! We love the modern farmhouse vibe that this stately wooden option gives off, and the fact that it comes in natural, black and white stains, fitting pretty much every aesthetic out there.
Gradient Glass Ornament Collection, Set of 30
Monochromatic tree decorations are all the rage right now, and Frontgate is going to help all of us achieve the look this winter with its beautiful gradient glass ornament collections. Available in crimson, emerald or blue, each assortment contains a variety of round and finial shapes, awash in a slew of different finishes (matte, shiny and speckled glass among them). The hardest part is choosing which hue suits you most this holiday season!
Home Accents Holiday Multi-Color Ornament Pack Mountain Retreat
While beautiful, glass ornaments aren't a fit for every family — especially ones with kiddos running around! Home Depot's shatterproof ornament options are your answer, and we love this traditional set that is hand-painted and features fun holiday-themed shapes like cups of cocoa, wintry ducks and more.
Ornament Storage Box
Here's the thing about all those gorgeous ornaments: They're a pain in the butt to store. Frontgate makes it easy — and pretty! — with these storage boxes that can harness your holiday chaos in a cinch. Featuring a red-and-gold canvas exterior and two durable handles, the boxes are stackable and can store not only a slew of ornaments but also garlands and other fragile holiday decorations.

Whether you style them solo or cluster them together with some fairy lights, the result will be pure holiday magic.
L'or de Seraphine Holiday Candles ($32; lordeseraphine.com)
L'or de Seraphine Holiday Candles
The piece de resistance for a bona fide holiday mantelscape? Candles, of course! One of our favorite brands, L'or de Seraphine, just launched its holiday collection, and we can't decide which is the prettiest. Known for being housed in gorgeous, ceramic vessels that can be reused long after the wax is melted, the candles also smell delicious — the Soiree, for instance, gives off peppermint and vanilla notes, while the Reverie smells of holly berry, amber cardamom, citrus splashed currant and black pine. Say it with us: yum!
Opalhouse Designed With Jungalow Oversized Embroidered Snowflake Velvet Throw Pillow
A quick way to give your living spaces a holiday refresh is by adding a few seasonal pillows to your seating areas. We're obsessed with this velvet, snowflake-adorned option from Justina Blakeney's Target line because not only does it come in three Christmasy colors (an icy blue, a cheery red and a dusty rose), but it's also lined with pompoms. Sold!

Christmas Cheer Bows, Set of 4
Christmas gurus like us know this to be true: Not all bows are created equal. Most are subpar quality with exorbitant prices, which is why we're such big fans of this set from Frontgate. Ultra luxurious and puffy, the bright red velvet ribbons feature a gold piped trim and have more than 100 positive reviews on the Frontgate site, with a 4.8-star review. More to know: Each bow has built-in wiring along the trim for easy shaping, and copper cords are located in the back for attaching to blank wreaths, garland, urns or anything that's lacking some Christmas cheer this season.

Made from high-density polyethylene and a metal frame, the nutcracker has a wide base that makes it extra sturdy, and its collapsible structure makes storage easy.

When not in use, the largest box can hold the three other presents, making for compact storage.
