At a Glance

Every year there is a Christmas theme that takes over Pinterest, and this year there are nine of them. Some are big, cozy, whole house looks like Ralph Lauren, vintage, and Nutcracker. Others, like Pokemon and Star Wars, are made for one very excited kid’s bedroom.

So I went through each theme and pulled the full look into one collection. That means the bedding, the stockings, the ornaments, the matching pajamas, the plates for Christmas morning, and the wrapping paper that goes under the tree. You can pick one theme and shop the whole room in a single scroll.

Each section below starts with the inspiration photo, then the details, then the full shoppable collection. Scroll until one makes you stop.

1. Grinch Christmas Decor

A Grinch Christmas is bright, a little silly, and it works whether your kids are toddlers or teens. The trick is keeping it from looking like a costume shop, so this collection leans on the Pottery Barn Kids heritage pieces that feel more like a cozy cabin than a cartoon.

What to Shop for a Grinch Room

Start with the bed, because that is where the theme lives. The Grinch Heritage Quilt and Shams and the Festive Lights comforter set the tone, and the Heritage stripe sheets tie it together. Next, add the Merry Grinchmas felted wool garland over the bed and the Max needlepoint pillow. After that, you can grab matching Grinch Christmas pajamas in kid and baby sizes, plus the Grinch mugs and melamine plates for Christmas morning.

How to Style the Grinch Christmas Tree

For the tree itself, the whimsical pre lit tree from Target and the felted trees from Garnet Hill give you that crooked Whoville shape without any DIY. Then, for stockings and fillers, World Market has the Grinch hot cocoa bomb, popcorn bucket, and a hot cocoa advent calendar. Finally, the Grinch x Kitsch satin pillowcase and perfume mists are perfect stocking stuffers for teens.

2. Pink Christmas Decor

A pink Christmas is the theme for anyone who loves bows, candy cane stripes, and a little sparkle. In addition, it pairs beautifully with vintage pieces if you want it to feel less modern.

What to Shop for a Pink Christmas

The hero of this collection is the Pottery Barn Kids x LoveShackFancy line, including the decorated Christmas tree, the stocking collection, and the Christmas Dream duvet. Next comes the Holly Jolly Santa quilt, which has matching flannel pajamas for adults and kids, so the whole family can match. Plus, the light up pink gingerbread house is the kind of piece people keep for years.

How to Style Pink Christmas Decorations

For the mantel, start with the Studio McGee brass bow stocking holder from Target and the pink and red velvet bow stocking from World Market. Then, hang velvet ornaments and the frosted pine garland with bows. For the table, Meri Meri pearl bow crackers and My Mind’s Eye pink gingerbread napkins finish the look. Lastly, wrap everything in Target’s pink candy cane bow wrapping paper.

3. Ralph Lauren Christmas Decor

A Ralph Lauren Christmas is the collected over time look: hunter green, deep red, tartan plaid, leather, brass, and cable knit. It feels like a New England lodge on Christmas Eve. You’ll also see it called an old money Christmas or a Nancy Meyers Christmas, and it mixes easily with vintage pieces.

What to Shop for a Ralph Lauren Christmas

Start with the Ralph Lauren Home pieces that set the tone. The Wessex and Alexander dinner plates, the Wyatt leather chargers, and the Hudson plaid highball set carry the table. Then, layer in the Angelica, Castelford, and Sutton throws and the Ralph and Ricky tuxedo bear pillow. To get the look for less, Target’s Hearth and Hand line has brass clip on tree candles, a brass advent calendar, and green plaid stockings with velvet cuffs.

Ralph Lauren Christmas Tree and Tablescape

For the Ralph Lauren Christmas tree, wrap the base in a green and black plaid tree skirt with faux fur. Next, add red plaid bows, plaid stocking ornaments, the Dalsing bear ornament set, and the Ralph’s Coffee holiday truck ornament. For the table, Meri Meri plaid plates, plaid bow place cards, and plaid teddy napkins pair perfectly with a Ralph Lauren hurricane and holiday candle.

Ralph Lauren Christmas Sweaters and Pajamas

The look carries right into what you wear. The cable knit cotton sweater, the Fair Isle wool blend cardigan, and the plaid sequined skirt are classic Ralph Lauren Christmas outfits. For Christmas morning, choose the mixed plaid flannel pajama set or the Polo Bear sateen pajama gift set. Then, match the kids in hunter green flannel from Janie and Jack.

How to Style an Alpine Christmas Tree

For an alpine Christmas tree, go with a slim pine or a flocked pinecone tree from Target, then layer Crate and Barrel’s jingle bell blue velvet garland. After that, add the wool yeti ornament and the mid century ski lodge light up from World Market. To finish, Rifle Paper Co. makes a Ski Chalet wrapping roll and a matching mug, and the Serena and Lily wicker village looks perfect on a mantel.

7. Pokemon Christmas Decor

If you have a Pokemon kid, this is the easiest theme to pull off because Pottery Barn Kids made an entire holiday line for it. Even better, most of it stays up all year, so it works as a gift and a room refresh at the same time.

What to Shop for a Pokemon Christmas Room

Start with the Pokemon Holiday Garland comforter and the matching organic cotton sheet set. Then, add the Pikachu holiday shaped pillow and the Eevee pillow for the bed. On the walls and shelves, the Pikachu LED wall sign, the Poké Ball table lamp, and the Poké Ball bookends do a lot of work.

Pokemon Christmas Gift Ideas

If you would rather put it under the tree, the Pikachu Anywhere Chair, the Poké Ball beanbag, and the Pokemon sleeping bag are all big gift moments. For travel families, the glow in the dark Pokemon Mackenzie backpack and luggage are a fun upgrade. In addition, the Pokemon Toniebox set makes a great gift for younger fans.

8. Star Wars Christmas Decor

This Star Wars Christmas is a smaller, focused collection built around one great holiday bedding set. As a result, it is perfect for a kid’s room that you want to feel festive without redoing everything.

What to Shop for a Star Wars Christmas Room

The Pottery Barn Kids Star Wars holiday quilt and shams are the centerpiece, with euro and standard shams to layer. Next, the Death Star light up pillow and the Death Star light up display shelf double as a night light and a place for figures. For babies, there is a Star Wars holiday baby quilt and an organic muslin swaddle set.

Star Wars Christmas Gifts for Teens

For an older fan, the Star Wars x Kitsch satin pillowcase with R2D2 and C3PO is an easy stocking stuffer. Similarly, the light up display shelf is a gift that grows with them.

9. Dinosaur Christmas Decor

Dinosaur Christmas is the sleeper theme of the year, with pajamas, ornaments, stockings, and wrapping paper to match. Plus, it is one of the few themes where Target and West Elm both made full collections.

What to Shop for a Dinosaur Christmas

From West Elm, the glow in the dark Christmas dino sheet set is the star, along with the felt dino in lights stocking, the T Rex in lights stocking, and a set of three dino ornaments. Meanwhile, Target’s Wondershop line adds a tinsel dinosaur in a Santa hat, a gold T Rex fossil ornament, and green dinosaur ornaments.

Dinosaur Christmas Pajamas and Wrapping Paper

For Christmas morning, Target has matching family striped pajamas and a kids’ Tree Rex shirt. Then, wrap the gifts in Artsy Dinos wrapping paper and add the Pillowfort dinosaur plush pillow set for the reading nook.

How to Pick Your Christmas Theme

If you are decorating the whole house, choose Ralph Lauren, vintage, Nutcracker, or pink, since those collections cover the tree, mantel, table, and bedrooms. On the other hand, if you only want to transform a kid’s room, Pokemon, Star Wars, dinosaur, and Grinch all have full bedding sets that do most of the work in one purchase. And if you want decor that can stay up through winter, après ski is the clear winner.

You can also mix themes. For example, pink and vintage share the same bows and candy cane stripes, and Grinch pieces look great next to a vintage tree. For more ideas, browse everything in The Holiday Edit.
