25 Best Vintage Christmas Decorations for a Timeless Celebration
They're next-level nostalgic. 🎄✨
Something about the holiday season just feels so nostalgic. Maybe it's the smell of your favorite childhood cookies baking in the oven (Ree Drummond loves her mom's sugar cookies) or all the classic Christmas songs on the radio. It might even be the fact that we hold so many old Christmas traditions so close to our hearts. So when it comes to decorating, why not make your home décor just as sentimental with some vintage Christmas decorations? Whether you're looking for ideas to deck the halls with indoor Christmas decorations or need to spruce up your porch with outdoor Christmas decorations, you can always fall back on popular (and festive) ideas from the past.
Some of these you'll remember from your own childhood, like hiding the Christmas pickle in the tree or lighting a tabletop ceramic Christmas tree. We've gathered old-timey Christmas tree decorations like tinsel, Shiny Brite ornaments, and fruit garland. No matter your style, these Christmas decorations are guaranteed to fill your home with that old-fashioned charm. If you like being crafty, there are a few DIY Christmas decorations that are great weekend projects. Make the paper candles to put on your tree, or turn vintage ornaments into a dazzling wreath to liven up your mantel. You'll also find holiday favorites like gingerbread houses and nutcrackers, the latter of which Ree has a particular fondness for. "To me, seeing a nutcracker means the holidays have arrived," she says. So, take a cue from her and travel back in time this holiday season with these vintage Christmas decorations.
