Let it glow
Candles are one of the best ways to set the mood over the holiday season. You can create a festive smell around your home with little effort. Festive scents like cinnamon, gingerbread and winter berries invoke the Christmas spirit in your home. During the cold winter months candles are perfect for making your home feel warm and cosy.
Crack the drinks open
Christmas is all about spending time with friends and family, so let loose and enjoy ever favourite festive drinks like eggnog and mulled wine. What better way to warm yourself up than with a nice cup of hot chocolate.
Showcase your Christmas cards
It would be a shame to not display the wonderful Christmas cards you’ve been given. Display them above your fireplace, shelf or hang them up using pegs or ribbon.
Enjoy sweet treats
Time to crack open your box of Heroes and Celebrations because Christmas is a guilt-free time of the year, where you can enjoy eating whatever you want. Candy canes are a Christmas classic, which you can use as tree ornaments or serve as a treat for the kids.
Hang a wreath on the front door
There’s nothing more welcoming during the winter holiday than having a Christmas wreath on your front door. We’ve got some wonderful affordable Christmas wreaths in a range of designs and materials for you to choose from.
Leftover ornaments
Have any ornaments not make it onto your Christmas tree this year? Don’t let them go to waste display them in a bowl or jar with other Christmassy items like holly and fake snow.
Temporary bar
Hosting social gatherings over the winter holiday can keep you busy, so it may be worth setting up a temporary bar where people can help themselves to drinks. If you’re not a big drinker you can set up a hot chocolate station with all the marshmallows and whipped cream you could need.
Handmade decorations
Making your own decorations is a great way to spend time with your family and make lasting memories. Fun and easy to make, paper chains, snowflakes and garlands are perfect for adding a homemade touch. You’ll find many craft guides on the internet to help you get started.
Create a cosy corner
There’s no better feeling than curling up close to the fireplace on a cold winter day. Gather up all your fluffy blankets and cushions and create your own snug corner.
Christmas TV
After a long day of shopping or preparing your home for Christmas, you’ll be ready to relax and unwind in front of the TV and there’s no shortage of movies on around Christmas time. Remember to check the TV schedule and watch holiday movies like Scrooge, The Grinch and Polar Express.
