The McGee & Co holiday collection has just dropped – and it might just be our favorite of 2024
McGee & Co's holiday collection is one we look forward to every year − you just know it will be filled with the chicest decor of the season
I've been waiting for this one: the McGee & Co. holiday collection just relaunched for 2024. Defined by earthy, grounding color palettes, cozy, tactile textures and a wonderful celebration of nature, these pieces are perfect for minimalists and anyone looking to create a cozy, classic Christmas scene.
McGee & Co.'s holiday collection embodies everything I love about Studio McGee's elegant, understated and pared-back style. If you're after inspiration for subtle and sophisticated Christmas decor ideas, then this holiday collection is a great place to start.
The secret to decorating tastefully for Christmas is to be selective. That's why I've spent hours sorting through every item in the McGee & Co. holiday collection, hand-picking the pieces that combine durable design with timeless style.
My 18 favorite finds from the McGee & Co. Holiday collection
From elegant wreaths to unique ornaments and even a full-sized Christmas tree, these are the best buys that have caught my eye from the McGee & Co. holiday collection.
Wreaths and garlands
Traditional Christmas decor embraces the beauty of the natural world, from the colors we use to the plants we pick. It wouldn't be Christmas without a little green pine. When you shop the McGee & Co. collection of faux foliage, you get the look and feel of the real thing, without the hassle of watering it.
In my family, we like to hang at least two wreaths around the home: one above the mantel to frame the fireplace and another outside the front door to welcome guests. To keep things fresh, we experiment with Christmas garland ideas: my favorite look is twined through the banisters, but you might prefer to drape your garland around a door.
Use this faux pine piece as a blank canvas for your Christmas wreath ideas. This wreath comes pre-lit with warm white LEDs to illuminate the long, dark nights.
Ornaments
After I've bought and wrapped all my gifts for friends and family, I do like to buy myself a Christmas present: a new ornament for our Christmas tree. It's such an easy and affordable upgrade and a great way to embrace a new Christmas tree theme. This year, I've definitely got my eye on a few pieces from the McGee & Co. holiday collection.

Christmas tree topper ideas are getting old. You see the same stars, snowflakes and angels in every store. This brass bow stands out: it's a cute way to tie together your Christmas tree decor.
Tableware
Christmas is the perfect time to go all out with a stand-out festive tablescape. When planning your Christmas table ideas, think about the design in layers and build it up from there. From your tablecloth, placemats, dinnerware and serverware, to your candles and Christmas table centerpiece ideas, all can work as one to establish a beautiful scene that will make dining over the festive season all the more special and unique.
These bowls are dishwasher-safe for quick and convenient clean-up after Christmas dinner. The lattice look feels like a nod to tradition, while the little trees show your personality.
Christmas trees
If you're looking for a really realistic faux Christmas tree that you can bring out year after year, McGee & Co. offers some beautiful options. Some are small enough to set on a sideboard or coffee table, while others could stand proud in a bay window.
Once you've bought your Christmas tree, it's time to turn your attention to the trimmings. A tree collar helps to conceal unsightly stands, while a tree skirt can catch fallen needles to prevent a mess on your carpet.
I'll admit, this faux fir tree looks a lot like the real thing, with carefully delineated needle tips and artful layers for a full, thick look. Best of all, it comes pre-lit, so you don't have to worry about untangling your holiday lights.
Mantel decor
In our house, we spend Christmas around the fireplace, so I'm always searching for new Christmas mantel decor ideas to upgrade the space. With space on top, underneath, and around the sides, a mantel provides plenty of space to get creative. Once you've arranged your garland and lit your candles, it's time to hang your stockings and add a few finishing touches. One of my favorite pieces in the entire McGee & Co. holiday collection is the Lighted Gingerbread House. It looks good enough to eat, and it's a great mantel ornament.
Red and green is ideal for children's stockings, but the grown-ups might appreciate something a little more elevated. This red, brown and cream color palette feels warm and classic without screaming 'Christmas'.
Candles and candleholders
Cozy candles are wonderfully versatile decorations for Christmastime. Whether you're looking for a stylish new candleholder to make a festive centerpiece or LED candles to light up your tree, you'll find it in the McGee & Co. holiday collection.
'Can you put candles on a Christmas tree?' I hear you cry. You really shouldn't, but these LED Candle Lights create a perfect loophole. You get the traditional look without the fire risk.
McGee & Co. marries earthy colors and natural textures to create a relaxed, subtle look that's still suitably festive. This holiday collection has given me plenty of inspiration for my rustic Christmas decor ideas.
