Every family has their own holiday traditions (and it many instances, this translates to holiday foods). While some of these holiday treats are cultural, others are somewhat random or have a unique story behind them. I wanted to share holiday treats from my childhood (and adulthood) and a little bit of story behind them.

The trendy pieces on Amazon this holiday season have a few things in common: rich textures and classic prints. Key pieces trending this year are rich, jewel-toned velvet in silhouettes like structured blazers and cozy midi-skirts, classic tartan and plaid prints, and pieces featuring subtle shimmer and metallic threads. If all you need is an accessory to complete your Christmas look, Amazon also has a ton of fun kitschy earrings and purses.

If you’re looking for an effortless and comfortable outfit that is still party-appropriate, you’re best bet is Old Navy.

Some of my favorite pieces in this round-up are the puff-sleeved tops and dresses and the fuzzy cardigan.

Tuckernuck Christmas Outfits

I’d describe this Tuckernuck holiday collection as “preppy glamour with a playful twist”. Key trends shown in my picks are bows as embellishments, deep jewel tones, and lots of luxe textures (velvet and sequins).

For holiday events, these pieces are designed for statement-making without being overly avant-garde: pair a bow-embellished mini-dress (like the black or burgundy options) with the glittery slingback heels for a chic party look, or opt for the elegant green velvet wide-leg trousers with the ruffled red blouse and emerald earrings for a sophisticated yet festive ensemble.

J Crew Christmas Outfits

The J.Crew holiday collage has over 15 elegant and wearable options for the 2025 season. The collection leans into traditional heritage pieces (like the Fair Isle knitwear and classic plaid/tartan prints) but updates them with modern silhouettes and luxe textures, making them feel fresh rather than stuffy. Key trends featured include the popularity of rich jewel-toned velvet (seen in the fitted blazer), statement tweed (the structured shift dress), and the resurgence of the ball skirt/full midi skirt in taffeta or satin.

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

Abercrombie Christmas Outfits

These pieces from Abercrombie incorporate holiday color and texture without relying on overt prints (perfet if you describe your style as contemporary). Key trends featured are a strong focus on rich, solid colors like deep emerald green and wine-hued burgundy, contrasting with classic holiday red, black, and sharp gray.

To style these looks for a holiday event, pair the red satin cami with the gray wide-leg trousers and a delicate heel for a chic, understated dinner party look. Wear the burgundy ribbed maxi dress with gold jewelry and a simple black boot for a sophisticated, comfortable Christmas Day outfit. The playful plaid mini-skirt and the gorgeous green off-the-shoulder mini-dress offer brighter, bolder options that remain fashion-forward.

My Loft holiday picks feature soft silhouettes, romantic details, and easy-to-wear pieces that incorporate festive flair. The overall vibe is playful, cozy, and perfectly suited for approachable holiday gatherings (and can be reworn throughout the winter season to work or weekend activities).

Hill House Home Christmas Outfits

If your style is described as romantic or even cottagecore (is that still a thing?), then you’ll likely gravitate towards these pieces from Hill House Home. The dresses are great for a fancier holiday party or event and can be worn under a blazer or fur jacket for cooler temps. Rich plaids, brocades, and embellishments like bows and gems give these pieces a luxe look.

Southern Living (at Dillard’s) Christmas Decor

While I’m a northeastern NJ suburb girl, I know some of those who end up on my blog are from the south and therefore favor the more southern decor styles. The 2025 Southern Living Christmas Collection at Dillard’s blends classic Southern charm with the nostalgic, handcrafted trends defining this year’s holiday decor. The pieces shown below — gold-detailed glass ornaments, beaded bow napkin rings, scalloped embroidered placemats, a frosted wreath with a velvet bow, and a vintage-inspired Santa plate — create a warm, heritage-rich foundation for decorating. If you want to bring some pink to your Christmas decor, this is perfect!

Crate and Barrel Christmas Decor

Create and Barrel is great if you’re looking for a modern, elevated approach to holiday styling. Their pieces are a mix of clean lines, natural materials, and playful seasonal motifs. Cooler tones also play a big role, especially with the soft teal ornaments and the winter scene kitchen towel, while sculptural elements like the marble peppermint-inspired serving board and the gold three-tier serving tree introduce both function and artistry. Woven rattan trees and gift boxes contribute warmth and texture, balancing the sleeker pieces for a grounded, cozy feel.

Target Christmas Decor

The pieces below from Target feature some of the biggest 2025 decor trends: heritage holiday styling, the rise of natural materials, and a renewed love for simple, meaningful pieces that evoke classic Christmas charm. The overall vibe is nostalgic and warm (if I had to choose only 2 adjectives to describe the style). I’m so glad they are continuing their collections with Studio McGee and and Hearth and Hand, which is where many of the pieces below are from.

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Anthropologie Christmas Decor

For a festive yet whimsical aesthetic, look no further than Anthropologie! Their Christmas collection blends nostalgic charm with contemporary maximalist flair, what some call “quirky nostalgia” or “practical maximalism”. Traditional holiday elements are elevated with unexpected color, texture, and personalized touches. How cute are the food ornaments? (They look good enough to eat to me.)

Pottery Barn Christmas Decor

If you want a Christmas look that is classic, cozy, and luxurious (or even are a fan of the 2025 trend of “Ralph Lauren Christmas”, Pottery Barn is for you. This styling is on-trend for 2025, with the return to nostalgia and timeless traditions. As always, they added a few new holiday pillows to the rotation, including a cheery Santa and adorable Christmas tree puppy.

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

World Market Christmas Decor

World Market’s Christmas pieces are distinctly playful, bright, and retro-inspired, leaning heavily into a “modern kitsch” or “candy-colored holiday” style. Some of my favorites below are the colored Christmas village, the embroidered pillows, and the gnome ladder hanging decor.

Amazon Christmas Decor

Don’t sleep on Amazon when it comes to Christmas decor this year! While some items can be poor quality, there are hidden gems (read the reviews!) The pieces below focus on traditional red, green, and gold colors to evoke a feeling of timeless, heartwarming Christmas cheer. The wooden serving board would make a great hostess gift, while the velvet bows are a trendy way to update your Christmas tree this year.

West Elm Christmas Decor

West Elm’s 2025 Christmas decor collection features Nordic-inspired pieces and a Mid-Century modern aesthetic. The overall feeling is minimalist with unexpected moments of whimsy. How cute are the mice serving plates and the red bow tree skirt? The Yeti pillow is perfect for adding some holiday cheer to a child’s room (or an adult’s, I don’t judge).

Magnolia Christmas Decor

Magnolia is known for their aesthetic of refined rustic charm. These Christmas pieces feature antique-inspired color palette of deep reds, muted greens, creams, and natural wood tones. Key items include the carved wooden Christmas tree figure, the wicker/straw sleigh carrying mossy ornaments, and the large, distressed brass bell. The decorative pieces, like the framed vintage-style postage stamps, lean into a highly curated, heritage feel.

Etsy Christmas Decor

Etsy has something for every holiday decor “style”, ranging from whimsy to heritage. It’s my go-to spot for personalized pieces, like the ornate stocking below. The ceramic cups are a nice homemade alternative tot he Old Fashioned glasses you see at all the stores in this blog post, and the wooden Christmas village houses are a fun take on the classic white ceramic ones.

Wondering how to style these horse sweaters without looking like you’re trying too hard? Pair one with worn-in denim and boots if you’re going for a Western look or throw it over a slip dress if you want something trendier. Layer one over a collared shirt for a classic preppy feel, or wear it slouchy with leggings for a cozy weekend look.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKStyleTip

This trend isn’t just for grown-ups. Horse sweaters have made their way into kids’ and toddler styles, too. The playful graphics, soft knits, and outdoorsy charm are a natural fit for little ones. Many brands are offering tiny versions, so you can even do a matching moment if that’s your vibe.

On the days I have to go into the office, my typical outfit formula is usually as follows: a nice blouse, dark jeans or black pants, and a cute pair of earrings. In fact, back in the days of 5-days-a-week in the office, you would’ve been embarrassed by how much of my closet was dedicated to this formula. But for me, it works for a reason — blouses can be tucked in or left out depending on the vibe, they are easy to wear and comfortable, and they make any outfit look dressy enough for the office.

Tuckernuck has a ton of cute work blouses under $200 (I know, I know, this budget can be steep but the quality of them will last for years). Here are some of my favorites to get you through the fall and winter season, as well as a few ways to style them.

My earring collection has a dedicated spot for holiday-themed sets — mostly Halloween and Christmas, but I’m open to any excuse to buy a new pair, really. For events where I don’t want to full-on dress up in a costume (like my kids’ Halloween parades or a virtual work happy hour), I find that rocking a fun pair of Halloween earrings is a nice balance. And I almost always get a nice compliment!

From handmade to designer, here is my roundup of the best Halloween earrings for 2025 and which online stores to order from to get them in time!

#LTKHalloween #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

Velvet Skin

This fall, the focus is shifting from dewy radiance to a more plush, velvet-like complexion. Velvet skin is all about a softly matte finish that looks smooth, touchable, and natural. Think of velvet skin as a balance between glow and polish: skin that looks refined and perfected but still alive. The trend ties into the season’s emphasis on texture, mirroring the tactile richness of autumn fabrics like suede and velvet.

You can achieve velvet skin with foundation or powder (or both) depending on what your skin needs and the level of coverage you want.

#LTKNYFW #LTKSeasonal #LTKBeauty

Cool Gray Eyes

As a cool-toned girl myself, I’m loving this trend. This season is all about replacing warm bronzes and golds from summer and instead opting for cool gray tones. From soft washes of dove gray to smoky charcoal blends, this trend offers a modern alternative to traditional fall colors. Gray shadow also pairs perfectly with the other season-defining trends, like balancing bold lips or enhancing the quiet elegance of velvet skin (both mentioned in this post).

#LTKSeasonal #LTKBeauty

Tightlined Eyes

If you’re new to tightlining, it’s basically lining the upper waterline of the eyes. Unlike heavy winged liner, this technique enhances the lash line from within, creating an illusion of fuller lashes and sharper eyes without overwhelming the look. The result is a crisp, refined eye look that pairs beautifully with both dramatic lips and soft, neutral palettes. The best part? You can use any color you like! Try black or brown for a traditional look or a nude or white to look more awake.

Before trying this trend, make sure you’re applying the product safely (and maybe avoid it altogether if you have super senstives eyes or allergies). Opt for waterproof, gentle formulas whenever possible.

#LTKNYFW #LTKSeasonal #LTKBeauty

Black Cherry Lips

Deep, dramatic lips are making a comeback this fall, with black cherry leading the charge. This shade strikes the perfect balance between sultry and sophisticated: it’s darker than a classic red, but warmer and more approachable than black or brown. You can also try sheer tints vs. full on lip color if you don’t think you can pull off the color (this is what I would do). It complements fall fashion’s rich jewel tones and cozy textures, making it a versatile statement lip for day or night.

McGee & Co Halloween Home Decor

If you’re looking for a slightly gothic, slightly vintage Halloween vibe for your home, then you’ll probably like the pieces below from McGee & Co. Their 2026 collection features natural textures, muted tones (like a gorgeous sage pumpkin), and lots of sculptural accents for a look that is more stylish than kitschy (if kitschy is your thing, keep scrolling for some better recommendations). My favorite piece is the wicker witch hats.

#LTKFallSale #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

World Market Halloween Home Decor

World Market is an often-overlooked store for home decor, and I think the collage below just reinforces that. After all, where else can you find pumpkin skeletons doing yoga, a candy corn adorned tree, or Halloween Russian nesting dolls?
