With nostalgia dominating our interior design mood boards, we are once again turning to the early 2000s for inspiration — this time, for our holiday decor. The 2000 Merv Griffins Annual Christmas Tree Lane Live Auction, in which celebrities auctioned off their decorated Christmas trees for charity, is a veritable cornucopia of ideas.
Even among the many beautiful trees featured at the event, Cher's Christmas tree idea stands out. The stylish evergreen is decked to the nines, with splashes of silver and white sprouting from every crevice.
Recreate Cher's Look at Home
Cher adorns her tree with pretty silver mesh ribbon, and this glittery version from Amazon is almost an exact match. It's affordable and unique.
Nothing brings joy and whimsy like a springy, feather-covered ornament. This charming white ball is the perfect addition to any tree, especially one adorned with silver accents.
This 3-tip spray is like an abstract floral arrangement made from tinsel, offering a fresh and modern way to bring sparkle into your home. Place it in a large vase on any tabletop to make every corner shimmer in style.
This set of 12 Christmas ornaments adds vintage-inspired elegance to any tree and looks especially stunning on white trees. Their classic design pairs perfectly with colorful tinsel for a timeless holiday look that will impress for generations.
This silver ornament combines foam and glass to capture the iconic disco ball sparkle and reflects light beautifully on any tree, with white providing the perfect backdrop. It measures 4 inches tall and includes a built-in loop for easy hanging.
This pre-lit tree brings instant, Cher-worthy glamour to your space. Boasting 2,000 branch tips made from realistic PVC and PE needles, it offers a full, cashmere-soft texture that feels completely natural. Just set it up, and enjoy a effortlessly chic, understated look.
In addition to the return to nostalgia, an increased focus on personalization within the interiors space has also contributed to the rise of maximalism as a major Christmas trend this year.
Charlotte Ford, design expert at Ruggable, tells Homes & Gardens: 'Maximalism is all about self-expression, and what better time than Christmas to lean into that? A tree brimming with fun decorations, each with its own story or quirk, creates a joyful, lived-in feel that embodies the season’s spirit in a personal way. Your home says a lot about you, and so does your Christmas tree. This year, try showcasing your personality through your tree.'
As Cher demonstrates, a maximalist Christmas design is best harnessed when embraced with full energy. Don't shy away from adding more ornaments, more tinsel, and more lights.
This Christmas, more is more. We're leaning into the joy of excessive, sparkling decor just like Cher did in 2000.
