Gingerbread inspired Christmas sideboard.

These faux gingerbread ornaments are so easy to make and can be used year after year.  Perfect to use for present toppers and other Christmas decor too!

I love the look of gingerbread decor. There’s something just so cozy and nostalgic about it. These cute faux gingerbread ornaments smell amazing and can be used for many Christmases to come. There are so many ways that you can incorporate them into your Christmas decor too. Get creative and have fun with them!

How to Make Faux Gingerbread Ornaments

Supplies

To Make

  • Preheat the oven to 200 F.
  • Using your hands, mix the applesauce and cinnamon together until a smooth ball of dough is formed.  If the dough is feeling a little crumbly, you can add a small amount of
  • Place about 1/3rd of the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and roll into a thin sheet approximately 1/3rd of an inch thick.
  • Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and cut out dough with the cookie cutters.  Repeat as needed until all of the dough has been used.
  • Place the ornaments on a cookie sheet and use a skewer to make a hole if you would like. For my snowflakes, I chose to wrap them with fishing line to hang instead of making a hole.
  • Bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes and allow to cool. Ensure that they are loosened from the cookie sheet prior to cooling. {NOTE: If you are doing this for a school project and you don’t have access to an oven, let them air dry for at least 2 days until firm}
  • Add details with the white puffy paint and allow to dry.

  •  Add baker’s twine or ribbon to hang.

You can make these faux gingerbread ornaments into any shape you would like – gingerbread men, little trees, even gingerbread houses! I can’t wait to make more!

DIY Outdoor Christmas Planter

The best thing about these planters is that you can’t really go wrong! They’re lots of fun to put together and can totally be customized with all of your favorite embellishments! Follow these simple guidelines and you’ll have your own outdoor Christmas planters in no time!

 

Materials

  • various greenery {I used Douglas fir, silver fir, pine, and cedar branches}
  • clean, sharp clippers
  • soil
  • birch logs or branches
  • embellishments of your choice. This could include pine cones, decorative picks, ribbons/bows, twinkle lights, lighted branches, etc.

Directions

  • Fill your pot with soil. If you have a larger planter, you can always place empty pop bottles in the bottom so you don’t have to use as much soil. Place your sturdiest branches first to form the backdrop of your planter. Since my planters were going to be placed against our wall {and not viewed from all angles}, I placed mine at the back of the planter.

  • Insert the birch logs into your arrangement. Pack soil firmly around the logs to secure in place. If you’re going to use smaller branches instead of the birch, you can place these later in the process when you add your other embellishments.

  • Continue to layer in boughs draping them over the sides of your planter. Trim the branches with sharp cutters when needed. Play around with the angle that you insert the bough into the soil until you achieve your desired look. Move from the back to the front, gradually decreasing the size.

  • As you get close to completing the planter, add any embellishments that you would like. I used some pine cones and a cute wooden skis pick.

  • Fill in any bare spaces with remaining greenery.

Add some twinkle.

My favorite thing about these planters is the lighted branches. They really make them pop and look so pretty at night. These lighted branches work for both indoors and outdoors. I have the white ones in a vase inside and really like that color too. The brown looks a little more natural though, so I think they work well in a more rustic planter.

What kind of fresh greenery should I use?

To provide more interest and texture to your planter, aim to use a mix of at least three or four different types tend to give you a nice variety of texture. It’s also nice to mix up the stiffness of the branches so you have some that provide more structure to the planter while others can fall more loosely.

 

Types of fresh greenery to use for decorating during the holidays.

There are lots of different options for fresh greenery. Check out local garden centers, Christmas tree lots, or try foraging yourself for your own fresh greenery! Here are some of the most popular options:

  • cedar
  • pine
  • hemlock
  • white fir
  • Douglas fir
  • fraser fir
  • balsam fir
  • cypress
  • spruce

Beautiful accent boughs.

  • juniper
  • magnolia leaves
  • boxwood
  • holly
  • eucalyptus

Christmas Tree Art

Christmas trees are definitely one of my favorite things when it comes to Christmas decor. Whether it’s a nice, full fir tree or a cute little Charlie Brown tree – I love them all!

Last year, I went with a really neutral and green Christmas color scheme throughout the house and created these Christmas tree art printables to go with it. I didn’t get around to sharing them then, but they did make a few appearances on the blog including our kitchen and dining room.

This Christmas tree art really goes with any color scheme, and can be displayed in almost any room in your home.

Download Your Christmas Tree Art Printables

If you’d like to use this Christmas tree art in your own Christmas decor, you can download them here. They are all available in three formatting sizes, so just click the one you would like and download it to your computer. You can then print it at home or send it to any online photo development site or shop.

TIPS FOR PRINTING YOUR ARTWORK

Whenever I post a new printable, I usually get at least a couple of emails about how to print them. I thought I would answer some of the most common questions here to help you out.  If you have any other ones, just let me know!

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THE PRINTABLES?

To download the printable of your choice, you just need to click on the link and then download the print to your computer. I have all of my printables in Google Drive so if you’re having troubles, try using Google Chrome for your browser.  It seems to do the trick!  If you’re not printing it right away, be sure to save it somewhere that you can find it again.  Having a specific folder specifically for printables works great to keep things organized and you can always find it in subsequent years if you want to print it again.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO PRINT OUT THE PRINTABLES?

Once you’ve downloaded the printable to your computer, you can choose to either print it at home or send it out to a local or online print shop {Stapes, Costco, London Drugs, Walgreens, etc.}. If you choose to print at home, you can use either a laser or an ink jet printer. The ink jet printers do seem to run through the ink faster than laser printers, so if you’ll be printing a lot, a laser printer may be your best option.

If you’re going to be printing something larger than an 8.5×11 {or just don’t want to use up your ink!} you will need to send it out to a printer.  I like to mark to NOT adjust the colors as I’ve had some funky colors come back when I don’t do this.  Make sure you’ve chosen the correct size for formatting so nothing gets cut off! {see below}

WHY ISN’T THE PRINTABLE PRINTING AT THE RIGHT SIZE?

I often have multiple formatting sizes available for each print {i.e. 4×6, 5×7, etc.}. This just indicates that the ratio of the height and width of the print is compatible with that printing size so nothing will be cut off when you go to print it.  Most home printers, however, will still print it out to fit a standard 8.5×11 piece of paper unless you change the settings on your printer. All printers are a bit different on this so I can’t speak to individual printers, but on our printer, we can change the photo size that we want printed and I just make sure to do this before printing if I’m wanting something other than a 8.5×11.  If you’re trying to print something smaller that just comes in a 8×10 or 8.5×11 size, you can still print it out smaller. You may just need to click on the “fit to page” setting so nothing gets cropped off.

Nutcracker Christmas Kitchen Decor

Today I’m going to be sharing our Nutcracker inspired Christmas kitchen with you. It was definitely a fun space to put together and a little outside of my usual style.

No matter what your style is, I wanted to share some simple tips to help you decorate your own kitchen for Christmas. A few little touches here and there can really make a big difference in your space. And a little bit of Christmas cheer definitely makes cooking and doing dishes a bit more bearable! So… here are some of my favorite Christmas kitchen decor ideas and tips for creating a festive Chistmas kitchen:

Get Inspired.

When I’m decorating any holiday space, I always like to start off with some kind of inspiration piece, theme, or color scheme. This year, I found this cute Nutcracker cookie jar at Home Goods and knew that he would be perfect for our Christmas kitchen.

Style a tray.

Using a tray as a base for your holiday decor allows you to keep everything corralled together and creates a less cluttered look. It’s also a lot easier for cleaning! When styling a tray, look to group items together, varying the heights and depth of the pieces. A common function or color scheme will help to establish a more cohesive look.  I found the nutcracker mugs at Michaels and thought they would work well with the cookie jar for a little hot chocolate and cookie bar.

Create a hot beverage bar.

For the last couple of years I’ve been putting together a little hot beverage bar in the other corner of our kitchen. No one actually drinks coffee at our house, but we do love tea, chai, and a good steamed milk.  Our Breville milk frother makes a delicious hot chocolate or milk chai and gets well used through the winter season. I used a couple of the same nutcracker mugs, a winter house jar for tea bags, and a couple of white house salt and pepper shakers that I fill with cinnamon.

Mix functional with decorative.

If you have a smaller kitchen space or don’t like a lot of clutter, just mix in a few of your favorite Christmas decor pieces with your regular kitchen items. I added some Christmas greenery and cute nutcracker pepper shaker to our kitchen utensil tray along with a Christmas rolling pin and whisk. I also found a cute Christmas tree cutting board and wood serving tray that I stacked up in behind.

Dress up the sink.

One of the first things that I like to switch up each season is our hand soap and dish soap. There’s something about a good Christmas scent that just brings back all of those Christmas memories! The Thymes Frasier Fir is my all-time favorite Christmas scent and you can get it in hand soap, dish soap, and a multi-purpose cleaner for the kitchen. One bottle usually lasts me a couple of Christmases. If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, the Mrs. Meyers Iowa Pine is pretty good too!

Change up the artwork.

One of the easiest {and most inexpensive ways!} to add a little holiday decor to your space is to change up your artwork. Since I knew I was going with a Nutcracker theme this year, I decided to create these cute Nutcracker printables. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted so I made three different designs to choose from.

If nutcrackers aren’t your thing, I have tons of other free Christmas printables available that you can choose from. There are lots of different designs and color schemes to go with any decor. Just click here to find one you love!

Light it up.

I never give up a chance to add twinkle lights to our Christmas decor! They just make everything look prettier and more festive. Add them to a vignette or tray, place them in a bowl with ornaments for a centerpiece, or string them with a garland.

My biggest tip for lights is to look for battery operated twinkle lights that come with a timer so you don’t have to remember to turn them on and off each day. Just set them once to come on when it starts to get dark and they’ll stay on for 6 hours. It’s nice to come home to a little twinkle!

My little acrylic nutcracker lights up too!

Add some greenery.

Adding some greenery {faux or real} is a quick and easy way to dress up your space for the holidays.

If you prefer fresh greens, create a pretty Christmas centerpiece to decorate your kitchen table. This one took less than 30 minutes to put together and adds a pretty, natural element to your decor. You can find the simple tutorial HERE.

Plus, it gives one more place that you can add twinkle lights!

Add storage.

One new thing that we added to the kitchen this year, are these cabinets that divide our kitchen space from the living room. We don’t have a pantry in our kitchen so I wanted to find some extra storage for pantry staples and kitchen ware. I’ll have to show you how I organized the inside of the cabinets – it’s amazing how much they hold!

I hope you enjoyed all of our nutcracker Christmas kitchen decor and found some inspiration for your own Christmas kitchen!

Free Christmas Printables

You all know how much I love printables and Christmas is probably my favorite season to design them for. I’ve created quite a few free Christmas printables over the years so I thought that I would organize them all in one place. Hopefully this will make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for – and maybe you’ll discover a few new ones you’ve missed!

Christmas Decor Printables

I absolutely love decorating with printables.  They’re quick, easy, and instantly add some visual interest to your seasonal decor. Printables are also a really inexpensive and don’t really take up any space if you’re storing them between seasons.  {TIP: If you use the printables in a frame, just store them in there and rotate the prints each season. They stay damage-free, no extra storage is required, and you’ll know exactly where they are each season!}

Once you’ve found your perfect printable, just download it to your computer and print it out.  You can either print it on a personal printer at home, or send it out to any digital photo processing lab {Costco, Walgreens, etc.}. Just be careful to watch the sizing when you print them and be careful to check for any cropping if you’re sending them out to be printed.  If you choose to print out a printable designated as an 8×10, for example, and you want a 5×7, some of the edges will be cropped.

We haven’t had a real tree in many years, but I still love to incorporate some fresh greenery into our Christmas decor. Nothing beats the smell of fresh Christmas greens!

NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. This means I may make a small commission at no charge to you from purchases made directly through the links provided.

How to Make a Fresh Greenery Christmas Centerpiece

This fresh greenery Christmas centerpiece would look beautiful on your Christmas table but could also be displayed in almost any room in your home. It goes together in less than 30 minutes and can always be customized with your favorite embellishments.

Materials

  • planter of your choice {is from Walmart}. Ensure that the planter is deep enough for the plants that you will be using.
  • drain rock or activated charcoal {if your planter does not have drainage}
  • lemon cypress tree
  • poinsettia
  • various greenery. I used pine , spruce, and cedar boughs that were left over from our outdoor planters.
  • Christmas embellishments. This could include Christmas ornaments, pine cones, twigs, twinkle lights, or other small Christmas pieces.

Instructions

  • Place pebbles or drain rocks in the bottom of the planter. This planter actually has a drainage plug that I can use when watering but I did add a few rocks to the bottom for extra drainage.

  • Place a small amount of soil over the rocks. Break up the roots from the cypress and poinsettia and place in the planter.

  • Fill to the top with potting soil.

  • Clip your greenery and layer in the pieces around the planter. You just need to play around with this a bit until you like the look. Place larger pieces first and then fill in any gaps with smaller clippings.

  • Add any embellishments that you want. I used some white branches, some silver ornament picks and a cute Nutcracker to go with our Nutcracker Christmas kitchen theme.

  • I also added some twinkle lights because I always love that pretty glow! Make sure you get the activated charcoal so you don’t need to worry about turning them on and off!

Tips for maintaining your Christmas centerpiece.

This fresh greenery centerpiece will easily last throughout the holiday season with just a little maintenance.

  • Place in a well-lit area away from drafts.
  • Water about once per week. The poinsettia tends to like soil a little drier than the lemon cypress so you can try to direct a little more water to the cypress. Drain well or ensure that you have adequate drainage in your planter.
  • Using a spray bottle, spritz down the greenery every few days to help prevent it from drying out.

Christmas Dining Room

Today, I’m going to be showing you around our gingerbread house inspired Christmas dining room. If you saw our dining room last Christmas, you can see that there have been lots of changes since last year! We’ve actually done quite a few renos over this past year {that I still need to post about!} including new paint and natural hickory wood flooring throughout our main floor. Of course, once that was done, I felt our dining room needed some updating too!

Christmas Dining Room Decorating Tips

Our dining room is actually the first room that you see when you come in our front door, so I do really like to dress it up for the holidays. It was extra fun to decorate this year since it was kind of a new space for me with all of the updated furniture. Today, I thought I would share my decorating tips for dressing up your own dining room for the holidays.

Pick a theme or color scheme.

I always pick a theme, color scheme or inspiration piece as a starting point for any room that I’m decorating. This year, this cute gingerbread house cookie jar from Pottery Barn was my inspiration for the room. {It looks like it’s sold out but there are still lots of other fun gingerbread pieces left from the collection}. I used various shades of brown throughout the room along with gold accents and lots of greenery.

I always organize our Christmas decorations by color and theme when I store them away, so it’s easy to pull things that I already have to add to the space. If you like to switch up your decor like I do, this makes such a difference!

Add a little homemade.

While I absolutely LOVE shopping for Christmas decor, I also like to add some handmade crafts to our decor. I have lots of little DIY projects mixed around the room and and on the tree. I think these cinnamon snowflake ornaments turned out so cute and they smell amazing. I hung most of them from the trees with fishing wire and added the remaining ones to the garland.

 

They’re super easy to make with only 4 supplies needed. I’ll post the tutorial sometime this week if you want to create some of your own. I still have one more batch that I’m going to make for the Christmas tree and plan on adding in some gingerbread men as well.

Dried oranges are another easy handmade Christmas craft that you can do. You can find the simple tutorial HERE. Use them for filler, add to greenery, make garlands, or create your own Christmas tree ornaments. They can be used for many years and just get a richer, deeper amber color over time. I used these on the tree and strung them out on the garland over the light as well.

You can even make your own coasters using thick felt and a paint pen.

Mix Holiday Items with Functional Pieces

When you’re decorating a dining room, mix in some of your favorite decor pieces with functional items. Cake stands work great to provide added height when needed and serving bowls can be used to hold napkins, towels, or other serving ware. Use serving boards for a base or stack it behind your items for added interest and color.

I spent months trying to decide on some kind of cabinet for this room and finally purchased this Hardy bar cart from Pottery Barn. It’s my favorite thing in the room and I’ve already had lots of fun styling it for a few different seasons. For Christmas I used it to hold a couple of lighted gingerbread houses, some Santa Espresso mugs, serving boards, cake stands, and then a variety of Christmas bells, ornaments and greenery.

I also really like using napkins and towels to add a nice pop of color to the space. They’re inexpensive and can always be used!

Create a hot chocolate bar or other beverage bar.

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to put together a hot chocolate bar. It’s so fun to come up with different themes and ways to display all of the goodies!

I found these glass tree jars in the dollar section of Target and thought they would be perfect for hot chocolate and marshmallows.

I made these custom coffee bar labels for our syrups a couple of years ago and still use them. It looks like I might need to add a gingerbread label to the collection!

Layer on the greenery.

Investing in some beautiful greenery is definitely worth it as these pieces will be used year after year. I’m really loving all of the “real touch” greenery that has come out over the past few years and I’ve been gradually adding to my collection little by little. The Afloral real touch Norfolk pine garlands tend to sell out EARLY {like often October!}, but I’ve seen them come back into stock on Amazon though for short periods of time. I’ve also purchased very similar real touch garlands at Home Sense and Home Goods, like the pine garland that’s on the buffet.

The first thing that I thought of when I saw this light fixture was that it would look fabulous draped in some greenery for Christmas. lol! I add a string of dried oranges and hung some paper snowflakes from it.

Add a tree.

There’s no better way to make your space feel like Christmas than adding a tree! It doesn’t have to be a full size tree – even a little tabletop tree or smaller floor tree will add that Christmas magic! This Christmas tree is actually still a work in progress. I still have some gingerbread ornaments that I need to make and have a few ideas for some gingerbread wrapping ideas too.

I used various brown, white and gold ornaments for the tree with these DIY orange slice ornaments.  The velvet ribbon that I used throughout the room is tied on to the branches for an extra pop of color and texture.

It’s always fun to decorate under the tree as well and get creative with your wrapping. I used some of the same velvet ribbon as the tree as well as some pretty green satin ribbon.

This little Christmas mouse is a favorite of mine and different versions of him can be found all over the house.

Light it up.

Of course, I’m saving the best thing for last – the lights! I wish I was better at photography so I could really capture how pretty it looks when everything is all lit up at night.

Nothing really beats the beauty of Christmas lights! I use the GoSund plugs for all of our Christmas lights that need to be plugged in. They’re truly a game changer! They turn on and off through an app on your phone so I can have all of our Christmas lights turned on and off in the house in just a couple of seconds. They have saved me many times from having to get out of bed in the middle of the night to unplug our Christmas lights! {NOTE: They also work for Alexa and Google Home but I haven’t actually tried it myself.}

For our battery-operated lights and candles, I try to stick with ones that have a timer, so you just have to set them once and forget about them. Most stay on for 5-6 hours and work on a 24 hour timer. I have mine set so they come on around 4:30 each night just as it gets dark.

I love all of the other lights reflecting off the glass in the cabinets..

It has definitely been a while since I’ve been on here, but I’m excited to start sharing some holiday content with you! If you’ve been around here for a while, you know how much I love creating printables to go with our holiday decor. So… I thought this would be the perfect post to start back to the blog!

Nutcracker Christmas Printables

This Christmas, I’m doing a bit of a Nutcracker theme in our kitchen and need a cute Nutcracker printables to go along with it. Of course, I can never seem to decide on just one design so I have three free Nutcracker Christmas printables to share with you. I’d love to hear which one is your favorite!

Why are Nutcrackers associated with Christmas?

Functional nutcrackers have actually been around since the third or fourth century B.C.. Over time, they began to be carved into various animals and people and, eventually, into the shape of the soldiers and kings that we’re familiar with today. According to German folklore, nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring luck and protect the home.

Nutcrackers did not start to become associated with Christmas until after Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, The Nutcracker, debuted in 1892.  The ballet is about a girl who befriends a nutcracker that magically comes to life on Christmas Eve and battles the evil Mouse King. Since then, Christmas nutcrackers have become popular around the world and can be found in many different designs and colors. As Elf would say…

CHRISTMAS HOME TOURS

Welcome to the next room of our Christmas home tour! I’ve shown you our Christmas kitchen and Christmas living room, and today I’m sharing our festive dining room Christmas decor.

A big thank-you to Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for organizing this amazing Christmas home tour! This week, 26 bloggers are opening up their homes and sharing all of their Christmas inspiration and ideas with you. You can find all of the links at the end of the post, so be sure to check them out for more Christmas decor tips.

If you’re coming over from Decor to Adore, I’m so glad you were able to stop by. Laura always has the most nostalgic Christmas home tours with so many unique touches!

Our Christmas Dining Room – Using Green, White, and Amber

Today, I’m going to be showing you around our Christmas dining room. This year I stayed with more neutral colors with ambers and metallic touches.  It’s definitely a bit of a change from the more festive red and white Christmas decor, but I love the calm and cozy vibe that it creates.

Our dining room is the first room you see when you enter our front door, and it’s probably my favorite room to decorate for the seasons. While we don’t actually eat dinner in here very often, we’re always in the room and will have at least a few special holiday meals in here. I also use this room as my secret place to store all of my sweet treats and chocolates as there are lots of little places to stash them that the kids don’t find! lol!

Christmas Dining Room Decor Tips

If you’re looking for some Christmas decor inspiration for your own home, I thought I would share the process I go through when I decorate the space. There are definitely no hard and fast rules when it comes to Christmas decorating, but hopefully this will give you a bit of a starting point if you’re stuck {or just looking for some new ideas!}.

CHOOSE A COLOR SCHEME.

I’m always torn between the pretty netural Christmas decor and the more traditional red and white colors. Choosing a color scheme really helps me to narrow down what items I want to use in the space. This year, I wanted to create a more peaceful and relaxing space, so I went with greens and ambers and then added in other metallic touches.

Pick a Theme or Inspiration Piece.

I also find it helpful to have some kind of theme or inspiration piece that I base the room on. From this you can draw on colors, textures, and complimentary decor ides for the space.  For our dining room this year, I actually drew inspiration from two items that I used last year in our dining room – my DIY felt gingerbread man garland and this DIY amber centerpiece.

While I didn’t use the gingerbread garland in the space {it’s up in one of the kids’ rooms this year}, it did inspire this little gingerbread sideboard.  These snowflakes are faux gingerbread ornaments that I made and I think they turned out so cute! They were super easy to make and I get a nice whiff of cinnamon whenever I walk by them.

I found this sweet gingerbread man cutting board at Homesense and stacked him up behind these Christmas house cookie jars that I got at Target a few years ago.

Put together a Centerpiece.

I really loved the Christmas centerpiece I did last year with the amber glass, so I did a little variation of it this year.

Instead of the round tray, I used a longer cutting board as the base and added a couple more bottles. I like to keep my centerpieces on some kind of cutting board or tray so it can easily be removed from the table if needed.

Even during the day, the bottles have such a pretty glow when the daylight hits them.The dried oranges are from a few years ago and now have more of a rich amber color. I used these throughout the room to tie in the amber and also have some amber glasses on our beverage tray.

The best part though is always the pretty night glow!

Display Seasonal Artwork

Printables are one of the easiest ways to switch up your holiday decor and you can find many free Christmas printables to download online. If you like to use printables for the different seasons, just keep all of the prints in one frame and swap them around as the seasons change. I created some new Christmas tree printables {that I’ll be sharing with you soon!} for our dining room and kitchen table area this year.

Add a tree.

There’s no better way to make your space feel like Christmas than adding a tree! It doesn’t have to be a full size tree – even a little tabletop tree or smaller floor tree will add that Christmas magic!

I used lots of different metallic and white ornaments on the tree along with these DIY dried oranments that I made.

Try to put the oranges right by a light as they have such a pretty glow!

I always like to do a little decor under the tree as well. Those little Christmas mice are a favorite of mine and actually have one in almost every room that I decorated for Christmas.

There’s nothing better than eating dinner under the light of a Christmas tree!

Create a beverage bar.

I usually have a hot chocolate bar set up in our dining room, but we have it on a cart in our living room this year. I do still have our little beverage stand and mug ladder in the corner of the dining room though.

It’s perfect for a Christmas punch or cocktail and the extra glasses are just stored in the buffet beside it.

LIght it up!

By far, the very best part of Christmas decor is all of the lights! In addition to the tree lights, you can add candles, string lights, or other strands of Christmas lights throughout the space.

I really don’t think you can ever have too many Christmas lights!

For plug-in lights I like to use a smart plug so I can just turn them on and off from my phone. They’re so much easier than digging in behind the tree!

For our battery-operated lights and candles, I try to stick with ones that have a timer, so you just have to set them once and forget about them. Most stay on for 5-6 hours and work on a 24 hour timer. I have mine set so they come on around 4:30 each night just as it gets dark.

I’m not sure why the lights feel so magical, but it definitely brings that Christmas spirit!

Christmas Kitchen Decor

Today I’m going to be showing you our Christmas kitchen decor and sharing a few simple ways that you can add that seasonal touch to your own kitchen. It’s amazing how just a few little additions can make such a big impact!  Over the years, I’ve developed a simple routine for adding our seasonal decor in the kitchen. Even though I change up the details each year, my thought process behind it all still generally stays the same.  So… here are some simple ways to add some Christmas magic to your kitchen space.

Style a tray.

I always like to start off with some kind of Christmas display that sets the color scheme and overall feel for the rest of the kitchen. The far corner of our kitchen works well for this as it keeps things out of the way while still being a focal point when you walk in the room. This year I chose a green and white color scheme and kind of have a bit of a Christmas tree theme going. I also used some dried orange slices to add a bit of a color pop {you can find the easy DIY here}.

Using a tray for a base helps to keep everything corralled together and makes things feel a little more put together. It also makes it easier for cleaning the counters when needed!

Add faux branches or greenery.

If you want to add a quick seasonal touch, just place some faux winter branches or greenery to a vase or bowl. I used faux juniper cedar branches in the kitchen this year.

The large stems were from Target and I picked up a bunch of smaller juniper sprays on Amazon. Using the same greenery throughout your space will help to tie everything together

Mix functional with decorative.

If you have a small kitchen or just don’t like a lot of clutter, mix in a few of your favorite Christmas decor pieces with your regular kitchen items. I added a couple of Christmas trees and an extra kitchen towel to our kitchen utensil tray along with a Christmas rolling pin and wooden spoon. I also found a cute Christmas tree cutting board that I stacked up in behind.

Dress up the sink.

It may be weird, but I always like dressing up the sink for the holidays. Switching up our hand and dish soap scents always seems to signal the start of a new season.

Gather all of your sink essentials together on a tray or cutting board. I picked up this pretty Christmas bowl for just a few dollars at Marshalls for our kitchen scrub brush. The dish soap and hand soap bottles were from Grove Collaborative.

Switch up your artwork.

A simple frame with some holiday artwork is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to add a seasonal touch to your space. I have tons of free Christmas printables on the blog – there’s something for every color scheme and style!

I used this Merry Little Christmas print this year, but here’s a little sneak peek at one of the new Christmas tree prints that I’m using in our dining room.

On the other side of the room, I also used my North Pole Cookie Co. sign. This one comes in lots of different colors and I finally got a chance to use the green!

Create a beverage bar.

Although no one here drinks coffee, I still like to have a hot beverage bar for our teas, hot chocolate, and chai. I purchased this milk frother about a year ago and I love it! I often have a steamed milk in the evening or make chai lattes. It also makes the best hot chocolate. If you’re looking for coffee bar labels {like the chai label} you can find them HERE.

Add some fresh greens.

We no longer get a real Christmas tree, but I still like to try to add some fresh greens in other places of our home. I love this centerpiece of Christmas greens and a variety of white flowers.

Light it up!

I don’t think I have any room in our house without twinkle lights! They just make everything look prettier! I always use the battery operated twinkle lights that come with a timer so I don’t have to remember to turn them on and off each day. I just set them once to come on when it starts to get dark and they stay on for 6 hours.
