As the holiday season approaches, you might find yourself caught in the hustle and bustle of festive preparations. Between menu planning and gift shopping, installing decorations also takes a considerable toll on your time and energy. And with countless options flooding the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right pieces for your space. So, to help you navigate the sea of holiday items, start with this season’s classic colors and check out these MyHome editor’s elegant Crate and Barrel Christmas decor picks. 

Venezia Taper Candle Holder

Venezia Taper Candle Holder.

Begin your home’s holiday glow with this small spruce green glass taper candle holder. Made of borosilicate glass, this mid-century modern glassware-inspired Christmas decor features an elongated bubble on a slender stem. This fun and sculptural silhouette, mirroring the image of a spruce tree, can also function as a miniature vase for dried and faux botanicals. It’s the perfect centerpiece or accent to give your holiday tablescapes or side tables a sophisticated and festive flair. 

Scallop Marble Trivet

Another green ornament to add is the magnificent Green Forest marble trivet designed by creative director and fashion designer Laura Kim. Showcasing delicate scalloped edges and unique natural veins, this Christmas decor makes a stunning addition to any holiday table. Able to resist up to 400℉, it keeps your tabletops safe from hot pots, pans, and baking dishes. It could be used as a serveware for bite-sized appetizers, desserts, or cheeses. 

Marin Pinch Bowl

Now that you’ve got your green Christmas decor down, let’s add something red to the mix. This five-ounce merlot red glazed stoneware from Crate and Barrel’s Marin collection boasts artisanal appeal with its organic curves and irregular rims. Despite its petite size, this item is perfect for small or individual servings of salt, spices, garnishes, jams, olives, and more. Its noticeable color and unique form additionally make it a standout piece on your countertop, cheese boards, and dining tables. Plus, it’s microwave and dishwasher-safe, taking the hassle out of cleaning up after Christmas meals.

Alina Tealight Holder

To complete the traditional Christmas colors, incorporate items in a rich gold hue—like this small amber glass tealight holder. Shaped out of heatproof borosilicate glass, this Christmas decor wraps a tealight in a perfect warm amber shell. Thanks to its slender pedestal within the glass bubble, the tealight appears to be floating. These work great both indoors and outdoors, which you can place on tabletops to scatter their cozy glow. 

Odate Wall Sconce

Odate Wall Sconce.

If you’re looking for Christmas decor to adorn your walls, consider this hand-hammered metal wall sconce. Made with an antique brass finish, it projects an exquisite rippled texture and a gilded sheen. Its concave form reflects candlelight in a stunning and inviting golden glow. And with its striking refined appeal, it creates a dramatic focal point when mounted in a hallway or next to a mirror.

Faux Mini Berry Wreath

Faux Mini Berry Wreath.

Crate and Barrel gives classic Christmas decor a fresh twist by swapping out the usual green wreath for a vibrant orange. Although it’s not among the traditional holiday colors, this hue equally offers a warm and festive touch, close to the shade of gold. It’s a modern and unexpected take on a holiday staple item. Hang this on your doors, mirrors, or bare walls to add a pop of color and cheer to your home.

Putting up Christmas decor doesn’t have to be as taxing as other holiday tasks. With these editor’s picks, you can simplify your decorating process by revisiting classic Christmas colors through a modern lens.
