Here Are The Hottest Holiday Decorating Trends

If you're tired of the same old decorations for the Holidays and you want to change things up this year, here are the latest trends to keep you on point.

There are some families that use the same décor year after year and are happy with it and make no plans to change a thing. Then there are those that like to have a different look or theme year to year. My co-worker is one of these people and last year during the Barbie craze pulled off a Barbie themed Pink Christmas, replete with all things pink, including trees, ornaments and wreaths. We think that is good for only one year.

So in an effort to find out what are the latest trends in Holiday Decorations we looked for someone with expertise in the arena of trends and styles.

We asked Monica Reese, Director of Trends and Styles for Lowe's on our show Tuesday, December 3rd about what are the decorating trends for Christmas 2024.

Here are her answers:

"When it comes to holiday decorating, more is definitely in this year. Whether it’s an oversized inflatable or a pair of giant nutcrackers, big and bold are the festive choices.

But that doesn’t mean traditional décor is out of style. Pre-lit LED trees and garlands are still favorites and can easily transform your home. Bows are also a popular choice. They feel nostalgic yet surprisingly avant-garde."

When it comes to holiday movies, nobody does it like the Muppets. These lovable creatures know how to throw Christmas spirit in your face with just the right mix of heart, humor, and complete insanity. They’ve got something for everyone… Comedy, heartfelt songs, and even moments that sneak up and make you go, “Damn, why am I crying over a talking frog?” Muppet Christmas movies are proof that the holidays don’t have to be perfect to be magical. They just have to be full of love, laughs, and maybe a turkey or two running for its life.

The Muppets have mastered the art of taking classic Christmas tales and putting their wild spin on them. And when they’re not reworking Charles Dickens or George Bailey’s life, they’re coming up with their own bonkers holiday stories that somehow still capture the true meaning of Christmas. It’s the kind of joyful chaos you want during the holidays, like when your family is fighting over the last slice of pie, but deep down, you know everyone’s having having a blast doing it. That's a Muppet Christmas movie.,

What makes Muppet Christmas movies stand out is they’ll cast Michael Caine as Scrooge and surround him with singing rats! Or they’ll make Kermit question his existence while Miss Piggy hilariously spirals. Don't we all? And then there’s the catchy tunes that you’ll hum all season long, even if you don’t want to admit it. You love it.

Whether it’s a cozy jug-band in a small town or Gonzo pretending he’s Charles Dickens, every Muppet Christmas movie has something special. Sure they’re silly, but they always remind me that Christmas isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up for the people (or Muppets) you love.

This is the Christmas classic. Gonzo as Charles Dickens? Genius. Michael Caine giving Oscar level acting surrounded by singing frogs and rats? Unmatched.

It’s like the Muppet version of a potluck. You’ve got Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock in one big holiday mashup. And yes, Miss Piggy arrives dramatically late, because she’s a star.

A heartfelt road trip to deliver lost letters to Santa. It’s sweet, it’s silly, and Pepe the Prawn steals the show with his one-liners. This one is special.

The Muppets go full It’s a Wonderful Life here, with Kermit wondering what life would be like if he’d never existed. Spoiler: Miss Piggy becomes a washed-up reality star. Iconic.

This one’s pure, old-school Jim Henson charm. Emmet Otter and his friends bring small-town sweetness and banjo vibes while chasing their dreams. It’s about family, music, and holiday spirit, wrapped up in a jug-band jam session.
