Now that we are heading full speed into the holidays, it’s time to get excited about decorations! Obviously, a Christmas tree is the main go-to for many people. There are however, other options and ways to make your house extra christmassy. A Christmas mantel can really become a festive heart within any room. A mantel for the holidays can also be decorated with more than just your stockings eagerly awaiting presents, although these are a super cute addition. Check out some of these ideas on how to decorate a mantel for the holidays and make your home a real Santa’s grotto this holiday. These are the best Christmas mantel decorations around!
What other colour represents Christmas the best than a holiday red? This look combines a cute and festive selection of red bows and ambient candle light. This is a really warm mantle look. Red ribbon and bows are a quick and easy way to really spruce up your mantel. Candles can be tricky, check out these LED candles that contribute to a warm holiday glow without you worrying about starting a festive fire.

Now these cones don’t come with ice-cream, but they do come with some delicious festive scents. Giant pine cones can add great smells and a natural feel to your holiday mantel. Accompany these with red berries and holly for a truly outdoor indoor seasonal look. Pine cones are not the only cones you can consider. As seen in this look, an LED wicker cone tree can light up your mantel. I really like this decor item, because it is delicate yet striking at the same time.

Spread festive cheer with your favourite holiday quotes. Inspired by this look, these giant letters are really fashionable right now. Buy individual letters to create your own festival messages, or shop the look below, and purchase holiday words to bring cheer to your holiday mantel.
One festive symbol that is often overlooked is the classic, nut cracker. Maybe this is because they are sometimes hard to come across for a reasonable price – we don’t all want antiques. I found these nutcrackers as a cheaper option, a modern take on the classic. Inspired by this look, build your own festive mantel holiday army with one of the ballet’s favourite stories. Shop the look below.
I have already guided you towards the light, lol, with those previous LED lights. Another great way to light up your holiday mantel is with Christmas or fairy lights as decor. Inspired by this look, drape the lights across the mantel for full effect. Or, you could string them through and around your other holiday decorations. Check out the image below to shop the look for some festive lights for your holiday mantel.
Stockings are one of the best ways to decorate a holiday mantel. Plus, they can make everyone in the house feel like they have their own special part in Christmas. Inspired by this look, check out these personalised stocking ideas. Personalised decor can be hard to come by, but not in stocking form. You won’t mix up your gifts from Santa again. These are some of the best Christmas mantel decorations!
Last but not least, don’t forget to include this classic Christmas decor on your holiday mantel. Wreaths don’t just have to be for doors! You can add them here, inspired by this look, to complete your holiday mantel with flair.
