Justin Bieber's classic Christmas tree invites a sentimental revisit of holidays past – and will be just as on trend for years to come
The singer shares a step-by-step video of how he decorates his Christmas tree – revealing an emphasis on memory and tradition that will never go out of style
Every year since its release in 2011, Justin Bieber's 'Mistletoe' has been my number one most listened-to Christmas song. Beyond the undeniably catchy jingle bell beat, the singer just seems to understand what the holidays are about: slowing down and spending time with loved ones. His Christmas decor reflects the same attitude.
In a time-lapse Instagram video Bieber posted to his page, we got to see how Justin and his wife, Hailey, decorate their tree and it's a treasure trove of traditional Christmas decor ideas. From putting up the lights first to adding a shining star to the top, it looks like the quintessential Christmas tree. In the close-up on the second slide, we can see that the tree is full of sentimental ornaments: glass-blown hot dogs, raccoons, snowmen, needle-felted dogs, and candy canes. It's clear that it's full of memories that the couple has collected over their years together.
Leaning into sentimentality with your Christmas tree is a wonderful way to use decor to boost your mood. Rea Bell, interior Designer at Furn states: 'Handmade ornaments, family heirlooms, or even personalized decorations will naturally evoke feelings of nostalgia. Each year, as you unpack these decorations they will help to bring back fond memories, bringing a sense of warmth and joy to your space. If it feels cosy, like you want to wrap yourself up in the contents of the room, then you’re definitely on the right track to joy drenching.'

Classic colorways
We can tell from the box on the floor that Bieber loves decor from Crate + Barrel, and these red and green ones are some of our favorites. I love their varied texture and sheen.
Soft and Warm
As Bieber shows us, white Christmas lights are the the perfect base for building a beautiful tree. The soft glow of these will look gorgeous in the background of your living space.
Vintage Style
This beautiful snowman ornament is perfect for adding nostalgia to your classic Christmas tree. Interacts beautifully with white lights.
Luxe velvet
Bows have been trending for the last two years, but this long red version is a timeless classic. Its velvet texture is a perfect contrast to the leaves of a tree.
Minimalist
These traditional, natural wood nutcrackers add a classic energy to any tree. Simple, but elegant.
Garland
When looking for a traditional garland, it's hard to beat this faux red cranberry option. Its berries and natural green colorway look wonderful styled down the center of a festive tablescape, staircase railing, or on a mantelpiece in your living room.
Furthermore, Bieber's Christmas tree theme fits well into interior design trends, meaning it's the perfect option for if you take heed of popular styles in your decor. '56% of decorators are planning to incorporate vintage elements into their homes this holiday season. This signals that the timeless appeal of mid-century style is back in a big way,' says Mike Brown, Head of Design at Scandinavian Designs.
He recommends: 'It’s about mixing nostalgia with a contemporary edge. The iconic 80s vibe—organic, modern, and undeniably cool, is perfect for the holidays since it is both cozy and chic. It emphasizes earthy tones, wood, stone, and plush textiles, which evoke a sense of cozy sophistication and a connection to nature.' We see this pull in the natural wood and curved furniture in Bieber's living room. It's a reminder that matching your tree decor to your room design can have a powerful impact.
When you design your tree based on your personal style, informed by your memories and family history, you will have holiday decor that will never fade from beauty.
