Kris Jenner's Christmas decor offers a modern twist on a nostalgic trend – she pairs a minimalist garland with figurines for the ultimate festive setting
The array of heart-warming holiday decor in Kris Jenner's home harkens to the past, but with a distinctly contemporary feel – it taps into current holiday trends
Kris-mas has arrived! The Kardashian matriarch is taking to Instagram to show are seasonal flair, and it's some of the most festive we've seen.
In a carousel on her personal account, Jenner shared the Christmas decor in her living room, entryway, and kitchen. The first slide shows a minimal garland covered in white lights draped romantically over her mantelpiece. Hanging below it, classic nutcracker-designed stockings feature her and her partner's names. In the kitchen, Jenner's entire island has been taken over by a display featuring mini Santas, tiny trees, and a stunning gingerbread house. My personal favorite, the socialite's entryway features a minimalist Christmas tree surrounded by a Santa on a carousel figurine and fuzzy white faux reindeer. In the final slide, we see her tall Christmas tree covered in a variety of ornaments. It's clear it hasn't been carefully curated, rather, it features sentimental pieces chosen carefully over the years.
The heart-warming, backwards-looking style of Jenner's decor is right in line with Christmas decor trends. 'In recent years, nostalgia has become a major trend in the interior design world, and we’re seeing yet another resurgence as we enter the most nostalgic period of the year,' says Danielle Castagna, interiors expert. Nostalgia is more about a 'feeling' than a 'look,' which can be challenging to achieve in interior design.' This feeling is captured in every aspect of Jenner's decor

This realistic green faux garland features foliage of mixed pine branches and eucalyptus leaves for a natural-themed festive look.
Sparkly
Amazon has an abundance of these vintage characters, but this retro fawn really caught my eye. It has such a nostalgic charm and will be perfect for a mantle or console table vignette.
Twisted design
This set of 4 spiral taper candles in red and white look like candy canes, without being too literal on the theme. Made from high-purity paraffin with clean cotton wicks and eco-friendly dye, these will keep your home free from unpleasant smells.
Luxury buy
Nobody does chic decorations like Crate & Barrel, and this faux garland is one of their best-looking pieces of the year. It's fooled everyone here at H&G who thought it was real at first glance.
Traditional pattern
Jenner has hung a stocking from her garland for the ultimate quintessential Christmas setting, and this one is among our favorites. Composed of thick linen, the Houndstooth Stocking is sturdy, holding all your festive goodies.
Best-seller
This lush-looking 9ft garland from Walmart is an excellent buy and will work indoors (starting with a mantelpiece like Jenner), but it is also durable enough to hang outside.
Despite the sentimental vibe of Jenner's decor, it doesn't lean so far into the vintage Christmas trend, that it loses the plot on her contemporary designed home. For instance, she pairs the kitschy stockings in her living with with refreshingly modern and minimalist garland speckled with white lights. The campy Christmas tree has been placed next to a floor-to-ceiling window, filling the room with light and modern energy.
If you are hoping to recreate the trend, it is about leaning into the decor that reminds you of family and home. One easy way to do this is creating a non-curated Christmas tree. Castagna recommends: 'You could put together a Christmas tree with decorations and ornaments that have a story behind them. Items like handmade childhood decorations or travel souvenirs would work well. Each year new ornaments can be added to the tree to represent special family memories and show your family’s journey together over time.'
No matter your design style, bringing personality and feeling into the decor is never a bad idea. Take it from Kris Jenner.
