Now that we're past Thanksgiving, it's time to look forward to Christmas. You can shop early and save big on seasonal decor with Amazon's holiday deals.
Now, I know what you're thinking: Amazon Christmas decor can look and feel seriously cheap. That's true, and a lot of it is. But I'm not trying to sell you an inflatable sleigh or a plastic snowman. If you know where to look, you can find some premium pieces without the premium price tag.
These pieces were all on sale for Cyber Monday. While some are back to full price, other items are still heavily discounted, and all are affordable for the holiday season. As a shopping writer, I know that the best holiday home deals aren't necessarily the cheapest, but the ones that offer the best value for money. I've spent hours hand-picking my favorite pieces to suit any style and size of budget.
Whether you're shopping for a minimalist wreath or a cozy throw, a table runner or a Christmas tree, you'll find listed for less at Amazon.
Best Amazon Christmas Decor
Fresh cypress meets smoky cedarwood in this seasonal candle set. As a master perfumer, our fragrance correspondent Laura will be pleased to hear that these soy wax candles are paraffin-free for a clean, fresh scent.
This festive centerpiece doubles as a candle holder. You could light real candles for that flickering feeling or opt for battery-powered pieces which glow night after night.
When you pick up this double-pack of string lights in the Amazon Black Friday sales, you're getting 230 LED lights for less than five cents per bulb. You can set these lights to twinkle, flash, or glow slow as suits your space.
Measuring just two feet tall, this cute and compact tree is just the right size for a centerpiece or a desk decoration. It's fitted with a burlap bag at the base for a rustic touch that boosts stability.
This set includes a dinner plate, a salad plate, a bread plate and a cup and saucer for less than $90. Each piece is made from bone china for chip- and crack-resistance. It's even dishwasher-safe for quick and convenient clean-up after Christmas dinner.
These faux berries are dipped in rich red lacquer and set on flexible iron wire for you to bend into shape. You could twist and twine yours round a garland or through the branches of a Christmas tree.
If you're looking to experiment with minimalist Christmas decor ideas this holiday season, you could embrace the tactile texture of Pampas grass. This wreath seasonally appropriate but subtle enough to work all year-round.
This garland is decorated with pine cones and incandescent lights. You could drape it over doors or windows to light up your entryways. I like to tie mine to the banister to spice up my staircase.
These LED trees are expertly crafted to resemble real branches, with all the tonal variation of white oak wood. These branches come with a remote control so that you can time their twinkling.
To make a snow scene for your tablescape, you need a bright white runner. This piece is made from artificial plush, so it won't shed. If you spill any food or drink, you can throw this runner straight in the washer and it will come out as good as new.
This cozy throw comes in a wide range of shades, from tie-dye teal to dusty pink, but I like it in camel to complement any color palette. Measuring 50 by 70 inches, this blanket is extra-large to keep you warm in the winter.
If you don't want to buy a real tree, but you miss having something substantial to decorate, you'll appreciate this prelit piece from the National Tree Company. This artificial tree features individually crafted branch tips to mimic the look and feel of the real thing.
Amazon Christmas Decor FAQs
When are Christmas decorations on sale?
It's hard to say. There were deep discounts on baubles, wreaths, runners, and all sorts of decor during the Black Friday sales. While there won't be another major sales period pre-Christmas, you could still get a good deal when you shop the store-specific holiday sales at Amazon, Target, Walmart, and other major home stores.
If you think you missed out on a good deal, don't panic: you'll still be able to buy Christmas decorations online and in store right up until the big day. You might just have to pay a little extra.
Where should I store Christmas decorations?
If you aren't ready to deck the halls just yet, you could store your decorations in a closet, in the attic, or in the garage. To preserve your pieces, you should try to store them somewhere cool and dry.
