Yankee Candle Balsam & Cedar candle
The scent of Christmas trees sets the holiday mood
There’s no faster way to get into a holly, jolly mood than to be surrounded by Christmas decorations. Something takes you over when Christmas lights twinkle, garlands frame every doorway, and stockings crown the fireplace. You instantly feel like you’re transplanted into a carol, and the festive mood kicks in. But choosing your decor can be quite the journey. Luckily, Amazon offers hundreds of options that can be sent to your door in 24 hours or less. The only issue is sifting through all those options to find the gems. But that’s where we come in.
Check out our top picks for everything festive, from a mini-lighted Christmas tree to a white icing gingerbread house. (You have to see it. You’ll want it.) All the decorations you didn’t know you needed are right here. So go ahead and treat yourself to that reindeer doormat or plaid pillowcase cover — Christmas comes only once a year.
Candy cane lights are an easy way to turn a standard walkway into a magical winter wonderland. This set of 10 is easy to set up — just stake them into the ground and plug them in. The final result is a showstopper. Bonus: They add the perfect amount of extra outdoor lighting for nighttime gatherings.
If you’re not in the mood to build a gingerbread house this year, then this resin one is the next best thing. It features a stack of provincial homes decorated with “icing” and lit with lights. You can either get this one as your centerpiece, or collect more houses in the same style to create a village.
If you don’t have room for a full-size Christmas tree, or you want to add a smaller tree to your home for extra ambiance, this 2-foot mini tree is perfect. It’s pre-lit so you can just unpack, fluff up the branches, plug it in and enjoy the glow.
The simple act of lighting a fragrant candle can change a home’s ambiance. Yankee Candles are beloved for their quality and value — this large 22-ounce size burns for over 110 hours. The scent’s festive blend of balsam, cedar and juniper berry will put a smile on your face. Bonus: While its retail price is $31, it’s currently on sale for $17.
Pillow covers are an easy way to update your couch for the season. A traditional Buffalo Tartan plaid dons this set of holiday pillow cases, available in sizes from 12×20 inches to 22×22 inches. The durable cotton linen covers have side zippers for easy transitions and cleaning.
If you just can’t pass up an animatronic Santa, this is your guy. “Mr. Christmas” climbs up and down a 17-inch ladder with his little string of LED lights. Other plush characters are also available: an elf, a reindeer and a gnome. You can also size up to the 42-inch ladder. The whole thing is battery-operated and plays songs to boot.
Light the candles on this charming wooden piece and watch their heat turn the windmill, which turns the carousel. Charming wooden figures rotate around as it spins. Originally a German tradition, carousel pyramids have been a delightful Christmas presence since the 1700s. Four red candles are included in this delicate set.
This 24-inch pre-lit wreath is a classic piece of holiday decor with a modern lighting element. Pine cones, berry clusters and frosted branches wind among the white lights. The wreath features battery operation (three AA batteries), so no need to fuss with cords, and a timer button keeps the wreath on for 6 hours and off for 18.
