What is the Kitschmas Christmas trend?
This playful and nostalgic Christmas trend is all about taking a maximalist approach to holiday decorating. It takes its inspiration from mid-century vintage styles, incorporating campy yet charming pieces that are packed full of personality.
While more traditional Christmas decor styles focus on minimalistic greenery and traditional color schemes, Kitschmas encourages bright retro palettes. Forest greens and deep reds are joined by everything from bubblegum pink and mint green to turquoise and lilac. If you love color, this is definitely a style that’s sure to bring you joy!

Kitschmas means plenty of playful glitz, and what better way to bring that into your home than with a glitter tree skirt? The over-the-top sparkling texture is a perfect nod to the old-school aluminum tinsel trees and serves as a “neutral” contrast to the style’s bold colors. Pair the 20-inch skirt ($3) with a tabletop or mini tree for instant holiday charm.

Garland
Metallic tinsel was a major holiday accent in the 1950s and 60s, and it’s making a comeback! For $3, you get 18 feet of shiny red, green and gold garland that adds instant visual interest to the room. From your tree to a fireplace mantle, the possibilities are endless.
