15 Surprisingly Chic Wayfair Christmas Finds That Hit Every Holiday Trend I’m After

A garland is the moment to show your guests what you’re made of. If you keep it kitsch, that might mean pompoms; if you’re a traditionalist, lush evergreen. But if you’re chasing something cooler – moody, botanical, rich – this oxblood garland adds just the right depth to a mantel or the base of a Christmas tree, giving ‘holiday’ a little more tactility (and a little less tinsel).

You’ve heard of tree collars and certainly skirts – Joanna Gaines made sure of that – but a Christmas tree rug? It’s time. This faux-fur version turns the base of your tree into its own vignette, the texture playing perfectly against pine needles and the glint of wrapped gifts.

Forget the fairy lights. Plow & Hearth’s faux candles clip directly to the branches, bringing an elegant, candlelit glow – minus the fire hazard. They’re remote-controlled, buildable, and far chicer than a string of LEDs.

Admittedly a bit of a splurge for a single stocking, but fawn print is the animal pattern du jour, spotted in every self-respecting niche-it-girl apartment right now. It’s also notoriously hard to find. Consider this your chance to signal that you’re both ahead of the curve and have taste. Pair the woodland-coded motif with soft metallics and a white mohair throw to echo its muted, whispery palette.

There’s been plenty of chatter about Ralph Lauren Christmas on TikTok lately – not so much a ‘trend’ as a revival of the house’s heritage codes: tartan, horsebits, and worn-in leather. Style it with a cognac hide, a layered plaid, or a well-aged sideboard, and you’ve basically nailed the look.

When it comes to metallics, don’t make yourself pick sides. Bronze – the diplomatic sheeny shade – splits the difference between silver and gold. In mercury glass, these Christmas ornaments are warm, reflective, and a little dramatic, catching the twinkle of tree lights just so.

It goes without saying that a nutcracker is non-negotiable this time of year – so if it’s been a minute since you’ve added one to the collection, make it this. It trades the usual holly-green uniform for a softer, moss-toned palette – a shift I’ve noticed everywhere from Shea McGee’s latest line to the new crop of ‘quiet festive’ collections.

This Deco-inspired tree topper has the kind of elongated glamour you’d expect from an old-Hollywood namesake, with capiz diffusing the light into something luxuriously soft. It’s not too big, not too small, with reviewers noting it looks grand on both a modest spruce or a 12-foot showstopper.

Square throw pillows have officially lost their seat. Lumbar shapes are the move – and this one, in a muted grass green with tonal tassels, is oozing with freshness. Like much of this year’s best holiday design, it feels lighter, airier, and altogether more like an exhale.

It looks like it hails from a certain heritage crystal house – maybe something you’d spot glinting on a side table in an RL-coded mansion – but what appears to be a lamp is, in fact, quite possibly the chicest candle holder ever made. It throws off that soft, moody glow that makes hors d’oeuvres look even more expensive than they are.

I’m notoriously picky about Christmas wreaths. I can clock a bad faux before I’ve even crossed the threshold. If you’re going to have one, make it look authentic, like you bought it from a lumberjack on the side of the road. This natural-touch option nails that perfectly imperfect illusion – imperfect, un-manicured, and right in step with design’s current love affair with organic imperfection.

A boring Christmas mantle is indefensible, especially when marble’s on the table. This petite tree, carved in rich brown-and-cream veining, locks together like sculpture. It’s unexpectedly weighty, beautifully modern, and a strong contender for a spot in your permanent collection.

Cable knit throws may not be exclusive to Christmas, but they’re essential this time of year. If your decor leans into metallics or minimalism, this plush chenille option will warm it up instantly. Drape it over an armchair or the foot of a guest bed for that casually considered, cozy look.

Doors deserve more than bows and wreaths. Add a string of nostalgic, slightly cinematic bells to turn every entrance (yours, Santa’s, whoever’s) into a soft holiday jingle. It’s festive, but also just… charming.

Reinventing ornaments rarely goes well – pop culture icons on a tree might get a laugh, but they don’t exactly say high design. These new origami styles, however, make a case with their intricate, airy folds. Hang them on the tree (naturally), or try them from a mantle hook or doorknob.
