What is the Hallmark Christmas movie aesthetic?
We love everything about Hallmark Christmas movies, from the sweet romances and hot cocoa obsession to the constant carols and fake snow. And then there’s the over-the-top decor: lush evergreen garlands, ornament-laden trees, artfully wrapped presents, the warm glow of colored lights, cozy red and green accents everywhere.
The Hallmark Christmas movie aesthetic is a visual love letter to the most wonderful time of the year. To recreate it, don’t hold back. Mix and match sentimental items, handmade Christmas crafts, natural items like pinecones and pine boughs and any decor from seasons past that gets you in the spirit. Then weave in a few key Dollar Tree pieces. Your motto: The more the merrier!
8 Dollar Tree finds to make Hallmark-style magic in your spaces
There are so many festive options to choose from, and you can stock up on holiday essentials like strings of lights and multi-packs of ornaments starting at $1.50. But we’re spotlighting items that scream “Hallmark Christmas movie” a little louder than the rest.
Elegant wrapped-present decor
Do these gorgeous boxes look like they were swiped directly from a Hallmark set or what? You can set a grouping of them anywhere for instant volume and impact. At $7 each they’re on the pricey side for Dollar Tree, but you can add just one as the focal point of a group of boxes you’ve wrapped yourself for an affordable wow moment.
Lanterns for an instant light show
Dollar Tree’s $1.50 battery-operated lanterns take holiday mood lighting to Hallmark Christmas movie heights. Tuck them anywhere you want extra holiday glow, and they’ll add pops of red and green to your room and create a pretty holiday light display on walls and tabletops.
It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas!
Jingle bells will ring every time you open the door, and it doesn’t get more Hallmark than that! Dollar Tree’s $1.50 vintage-style door knob hangers give old-fashioned Christmas feels and blend seamlessly into virtually any decor.
Wall decor that spreads good cheer
Cozy plaid is a big part of the Hallmark holiday aesthetic, making Dollar Tree’s $3 oversized ornaments a festive fit. Plus, at 13 inches each, they’re an inexpensive way to fill large walls with Christmas spirit.
Potted poinsettias for seasonal flower power
Abundance is a Hallmark Christmas hallmark, and since Dollar Tree’s potted faux poinsettias are just $1.75 each, you can get three of them for the amount you’d spend on one live poinsettia at the grocery store. That means triple the visual impact—and you don’t have to worry about watering!
It wouldn’t be a Hallmark movie without a mug of cocoa
Dollar Tree’s Christmas House mugs immediately put us in a holiday mood, and we honestly can’t believe they’re just $1.50 each. That leaves plenty of room in your budget for Hallmark’s signature drink. A six-serving box of Swiss Miss is just $1.25. You can also grab trendy $1.25 hot chocolate bombs, which explode with mini marshmallows as they dissolve in hot milk.
Hallmark Christmas movies’ signature accents
When Hallmark set designers deck the halls, garland and bows are everywhere. Luckily, Dollar Tree is stocking truly stunning versions: six-foot long flower-studded garland ($5), a seven-foot tinsel garland with ornaments ($1.50) and giant glitter bows ($1.50). Add them to your banisters, mantels and shelves to weave Christmas joy all around.
The bottom line on Dollar Tree’s Hallmark Christmas movie decor
Hallmark Christmas movies make us believe in magic, and it turns out Dollar Tree can too. Grab the finds that bring a smile to your face and then get creative. Lights, garland, action—your Hallmark moment awaits!
