All Christmas fans are likely familiar with it: The decision for the annual Christmas decorations has many pondering for weeks before the holiday season. This year’s trendy Christmas colors might help with the selection.
Whether sticking to traditional colors or trying something new, for many, Christmas is the perfect occasion to perfect their decorating skills. But what colors will be used for decorating and wrapping this year? myHOMEBOOK editor Sarah Bachmann reveals which colors will be trending in 2025 and which are making a comeback.
Classic Colors Remain
No one has to forgo the classics this year; they just appear in a new look for 2025. Those who love the traditional style can still opt for red and green, but with a modern twist. Instead of bright reds, this year focuses on elegant Bordeaux shades, carmine, or chili. These look particularly harmonious when combined with warm wood tones or tinted glass.
Green is also being interpreted more naturally. While pine green remains a classic, soft olive and sage tones, inspired by Scandinavian style, bring a calm depth to the home this season.
Warm Brown Tones
With “Mocha Mousse” as the trend color of 2025, it’s clear that warm brown tones will also play a role at Christmas. This year, gentle shades of cocoa and caramel take center stage, inspired by holiday classics like gingerbread and speculoos. They create a calm, cozy atmosphere. For a more sophisticated look, pair the warm colors with metallic accents in copper or gold. Beige and cream tones also complement them, creating a harmonious overall picture.
The tones look particularly chic when combined with velvet ribbons. Natural ornaments made of wood or paper are also great companions for the warm colors. If the natural tones are already dark enough, white or cream-colored accessories can add a touch of lightness.

Frosty Tones
Just like the temperatures, the Christmas colors will be frosty this year. Those who prefer something light and not too heavy can opt for ice blue or dove blue. These tones, with their cool appearance, evoke snowy winter landscapes and fit perfectly with a minimalist interior style. Blue is also considered calming and harmonious—ideal for the contemplative Christmas season. For a bolder look, darker shades like navy or midnight blue can be used. They appear modern and elegant without being overpowering.
Those who are daring can also decorate the dark blue with the equally trendy Bordeaux color. However, one should choose a base color and then set the corresponding accents sparingly. The blue tones can also be beautifully combined with materials like velour, glass, and crystal.

Here Are the Christmas Decoration Trends for 2025
Clean Tones
White and cream are the epitome of clean chic. In 2025, the trend again leans towards simple, timeless tones that stand for calm and elegance. White pairs wonderfully with natural materials like linen or eucalyptus. Sand and beige tones, on the other hand, create more warmth and can also be used in a variety of ways.
The advantages: The light colors match almost any decor and never appear overwhelming. Gray and taupe add depth and structure, appearing particularly elegant when combined with stoneware, silver, or anthracite vases or candle holders.
Nostalgic Pink Combinations
For those who want a bit of color, pink combinations offer a fresh change. This year, the focus is mainly on old rose tones, which are less playful than pink. The beauty of it: Creativity knows no bounds. From delicate pastels to rich rosé, everything can be combined.
To introduce a gentle contrast, color accents like warm ocher tones or rich pine green can be used, adding a touch of holiday warmth. The rose-colored glasses can stay on this year—after all, it’s the season of love.
