Christmas Trends 2026 and Beautiful Christmas Decorations: Everything for the Ultimate Christmas!

Although you may not have given it much thought yet, Christmas really isn’t that far away anymore! More and more is already being written about the latest Christmas trends for 2017. Read this blog to get inspired and start preparing for your ultimate Christmas celebration!

The Latest Christmas Trends for 2026

One of the Christmas trends for 2026 is the so-called ‘tundra journey’. Tundras are vast, bare landscapes where mainly mosses, grasses and small shrubs grow. They are also known as ‘cold deserts’. That is exactly why warmth plays such an important role in the interiors of people living in these regions. Both elements come together in this Christmas trend. The outdoor atmosphere is represented by bare branches without leaves, perhaps decorated here and there with a small ornament, while the warm indoor atmosphere is mainly created with candles and animal hides.

Another Christmas trend for 2026 is green, greener, greenest! Nature is making its way back into the home. More and more plants, acorns, branches and other natural elements are becoming part of the Christmas décor in the Netherlands. These can be real branches and trees, but artificial versions are also becoming increasingly popular.

Classic Christmas Decorations

Grandma’s decorations can come out of the cupboard again too. The classic Christmas look is making a comeback! Traditional Christmas colours such as green, red and gold are unlikely to disappear anytime soon. The same applies to a number of accessories that return year after year.

At number one, of course, is the Christmas tree. Large, small, real, artificial, covered in lights and baubles or decorated in a more understated way; almost everyone who celebrates Christmas has one in their home. Did you know that more and more Dutch households are choosing an artificial Christmas tree? Last year, the figure rose to 38%! They are certainly convenient, as they do not shed needles and can be reused for many years.

Still, a real Christmas tree has a certain charm. The scent and appearance of a real Nordmann fir are difficult to match. Around 36% of people chose a real tree for Christmas in 2016.

A Christmas tree does not have to take up a lot of space. For example, take a look at this improvised Christmas tree on the window. This way, passers-by and visitors can enjoy your decorations too!

Different versions of Santa Claus dolls are another Christmas classic. How fun is it when Santa can sing Christmas songs as well? Perhaps slightly less enjoyable for the parents, but it can provide endless entertainment for children!

Add a Personal Touch to Your Christmas Decorations

Adding a personal touch to your Christmas decorations is always a nice idea. After all, you do not want to celebrate Christmas in something that looks like a shop window, but in a room you have decorated yourself.

Time and attention are the perfect ingredients for creating a beautifully balanced and festive home during the holiday season. The Christmas crafts children make at school are a great starting point, but there is plenty you can make yourself as well!

For example, with a glass jar, a few small branches and a tealight, you can instantly create a cosy atmosphere. You can also make beautiful Christmas arrangements using old bottles, a few pinecones and some candles. Another simple idea can be created using a few wine glasses and some small Christmas accessories.

Well before Christmas, shops are already filled with all kinds of fun items to decorate your home. It is therefore definitely worth visiting stores such as Action early. This gives you plenty of inspiration and puts you ahead of the rest of Christmas-celebrating Netherlands, allowing you to buy the best decorations before they sell out.

Making Space for Your New Christmas Decorations

To make room for all your new Christmas decorations, you could consider neatly storing away your summer belongings. At ALLSAFE Mini Storage, you can rent storage space from just €1.40 per week. During the darker winter months, you can store the belongings you will not need all winter in a secure and heated storage unit, leaving you with plenty of room at home for your Christmas decorations.

After Epiphany, it is time to put the Christmas decorations away again. To prevent them from unnecessarily taking up space in your home, ALLSAFE Mini Storage can serve as your external attic.

In addition to storage space, ALLSAFE can also provide you with the right packing materials, allowing you to properly separate and label your belongings. The strong, stackable materials also ensure that your Christmas decorations can be stored safely and efficiently.

Bring on the Festive Season!

Now that your decorations are sorted and you have enough space to store everything exactly where you want it, you can focus on preparing the rest of your Christmas celebration. Think about your Christmas dinner, for example! It is an essential part of Christmas and great fun to prepare.

A quick Google search for ‘Christmas dinner’ will give you a huge variety of different dishes. Our advice? Be creative and do not be afraid to try something different! Adding your own twist makes it even more enjoyable.

Make sure to keep the portions relatively small so that everyone is not already full after the third course. It also makes it easier to have everything ready at the same time.

We wish everyone a wonderful, cosy and, above all, warm festive season!
