The holidays are the perfect time to get creative with your kids and turn your home into a festive wonderland! Decorating together is not only fun but also a great way to create lasting family memories. This year, holiday trends are all about bold statements, cozy vibes, and meaningful touches. Let’s dive into three top holiday trends for 2024 that you can easily incorporate with your little helpers.
Red bows are making a huge comeback this holiday season, and they’re not just for presents! Add oversized bows to your windows, doors, and even your Christmas tree for a classic yet bold touch. This is an easy and affordable trend that kids can help with by tying bows or picking spots to place them. Don’t forget to check out TikTok video for some major red bow inspo!
Sustainability is in, and making DIY decorations is a fun way to teach kids about being eco-conscious. Try creating ornaments with pinecones, making garlands from dried oranges, or crafting snowflakes with recycled paper. These simple projects are perfect for little hands and add a personal touch to your holiday décor.
Move over traditional red and green—pastels are here to brighten up the holidays! Think soft pinks, blues, and mint greens for a dreamy winter wonderland vibe. Get the kids involved by letting them pick pastel-colored ornaments or make paper chains in these fun shades. Bonus: pastel decorations transition beautifully into New Year’s celebrations!
Decorating with your kids doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. Embrace the trends, make it fun, and cherish the memories you create along the way. And don’t forget to share your festive setups with us on social media—we’d love to see how your family is bringing the holiday magic to life!
