Anthropologie’s Christmas Decor Always Earns Me So Many Compliments – And 2026 Might Be Its Most Elegant Yet
For those who like their festive fancy, Anthropologie’s bejeweled, bow-topped lineup takes holiday sparkle seriously
In a season filled with fire-engine-red plastics and tacky tinsel, I never need to worry about chic holiday decor at Anthropologie. It’s the one spot where Christmas can involve a beaded swan and a boulangerie, all encircled by several yards of tulle without losing the holiday magic. And for 2026, my inner magpie is happy to report that Anthropologie's Holiday Collection pushes festivity to its fanciest.
Topping the list, and the tree, is the return of the brand’s gigantic viral bow, now available in all-new plaid, angelic organza, pink-on-red candy-cane stripes, and an unexpectedly icy blue. Elsewhere, ornaments read like tiny treasures, spanning leaping horses, antique keys, hand-beaded glass, and blinged-out embellishments courtesy of its collaboration with BaubleBar.
In the living room, the mantel gets its own charming ceramic holiday village, where winter is spent at the ballet, browsing the department store, and sipping cocoa fresh from the stand. The brand’s iconic Jurdarn tapestry-inspired print sees a second life as a stocking, while the hand-crafted wool advent calendar garland makes a highly anticipated return for those quick enough to buy it before it sells out… again.
Dazzle off the deep end, or add a few hero touches to make your space a little more festive and a lot more fancy.
Finally, for the table, 12 Days of Christmas dessert plates make for my kind of countdown, measured in cookies. Tassels dot the corners of table runners as gaggles of gold-orb-accented coupe glasses promise to keep every dinner party dazzling after December.
If ever there were a time for decorative excess, it would be now. Ahead, 32 accessories for your most opulent Christmas yet.
