It just doesn’t feel like Christmas has begun until you start decorating. And even if you already set up your Christmas tree, there are so many little Christmas decor touches that can turn your home into a winter wonderland — especially if it’s your turn to host the Christmas party this year. When it comes to buying Christmas decorations you can use year after year, it’s best to choose holiday pieces that go with the decor you already have at home so decking the halls will be a lot easier.

We’ve rounded up options for all the Christmas classics — including Christmas wreaths, personalized stockings and the best outdoor Christmas lights loved by reviewers — as well as some unique seasonal finds, like Christmas Vacation-themed inflatables for your front yard.
