Cozy Traditional Christmas Living Room 2025 | Warm & Classic Holiday Decor

Hey guys, I hope you're having a wonderful week. The Christmas decorating is continuing and today I'm going to share with you how I decorated my living room for Christmas and I have to say this is probably my favorite that I've done in years. It is just so Christmassy. It's traditional mixed with a little bit of that Ralph Lauren, mixed with a little bit of whimsy. A little bit of whimsy. I do have whimsy going on, which you'll see, but not here in the living room too much. It's just so cozy and Christmassy. I cannot wait to show you. So I'm going to flip the camera around and show you what I did. I really wanted to take my time and decorate and I do a lot of decorating, honestly, like at night when I'm just kind of relaxing and I'll just do a little playing around and decorating and things like that. So this was something that I did over the course of several days. So I didn't really film the decorating portion of the living room. I just really wanted to take my time and enjoy the decorating process because that is part of the holiday season. So I definitely encourage you to enjoy the decorating, embrace that, take your time. I know sometimes the hustle and the bustle of the holiday season can definitely be a little stressful. So just enjoy these moments like decorating and baking and wrapping and take your time doing it. And that's what I certainly did with decorating my living room this year. And I love how it turned out. My family loves it too, which is the most important part. So I'm going to flip the camera around, show you what I did. So hopefully this gives you some decorating inspo for your home as well. So grab yourself a hot cup of coffee or a hot cocoa and let's get started. But before I get started, I would like to take a minute and thank my friends at QVC for sponsoring today's video.

I thought it would also be fun to show you some of my favorite products that I love from QVC, starting with the Homeworks brand. I have been a Homeworks fan for years. I love Harry Slatkin. So I picked up a few of these. These are hand soaps. It's a set of two that you get on QVC in the white birch, you guys. It's amazing. You have to smell it. I wish you guys could smell it. But I love the hand soaps. I love these to have on hand for hostess gifts, but these are great to gift one, keep one, too. And you get a set of two thanks to QVC. I absolutely love these foaming hand soaps, but particularly this white birch just smells like Christmas. It is Christmas in a candle. They have the candle version or in the hand soaps. I love having these. Plan on gifting one and keeping one. So it is a great time of year to stock up on these things. Another favorite item that I have picked up for years and years from QVC is the Kringle Express gift bags. Have you tried these before? Let me know in the comments if you have. You guys, these are a lifesaver when it comes to holiday wrapping. I love these because they come in so many different sizes. I just have a few in my hand. You get a huge bag of these and they make gifting a breeze. You just throw it in the bag, you cinch it up, and it just makes gifting so easy. They come with tags, too. If you have never tried these before, do yourself a favor and pick these up. You will be so happy you did. I will link them for you in the video description. You guys know how much I love making gifts in a jar. Check out these beautiful jars with the toppers on them. They do come in a few different styles, but I love the trees. But it gets even better, you guys. These light up. How perfect to gift one, keep one, gift them both, keep them both. I love the toppers on them because they light up. They take two AAA batteries, pop them on, and they light up. And they are so cute at night, all lit up. You can even add some sugar or some salt in there and make a little snow globe village, too. So if you want to use these decoratively, like with the little snow in there to make it look like a little village in there, too, that's such a great idea, too. So again, super duper cute. I will link them for you, as well, in the video description. These huge 80-ounce candles from Homeworks are one of my favorites, as well. I have several of them. Last year, I also gifted one to my mom. It was the Elton John one. Well, this year, I got another Elton John one. This is wood smoke vanilla. And I love that smokiness you get from that wood smoke. It really captures that essence. But then that hint, that creaminess of the vanilla, too. I was going to gift this, but I might have to gift this to myself because I love these. They have an amazing, amazing throw. They will last forever. A perfect gift for the candle lover on your Christmas list or a gift for yourself. These 80-ounce candles make your home smell so homey, cozy, inviting. This wood smoke vanilla smells amazing, too. So I will link it for you in the video description. I have purchased Berkshire blankets from QVC for years. I love them. I've gifted them. I have them in my home. They are amazing quality, and they are so, so soft. I absolutely love them. I love all the festive patterns, too, on them. Look at this beautiful one. What I also love about this, it has a little tag, so it's ready for gifting. It even comes in a little bag, so you could gift it just like this. And it is a 60 by 70 oversized throw. And it is so soft and cozy. You're going to love it, too, whether you gift it or get one for yourself. If you are looking for a cozy blanket, I will link it for you in the video description. And you know what? This cardigan I actually have on is from QVC. I think I got it last year. But look, it's got the Nutcracker on it. I don't know if it's still available. If it is, I will link it in the video description. It is so cute and festive. Look at the little buttons, too. Isn't it cute? I love this for Christmas. It's got all, like, the Nutcracker scene on it. So cute, you guys. Like I said, if it's still available, I will link it for you in the video description. You can shop qvc.com to discover top brands, daily deals, and must-haves before they sell out. I have been a QVC customer for over 20 years and absolutely love them. And I know you will, too. And thanks again to my friends at QVC for sponsoring today's video. So one more thing before I flip the camera around. I think I'm going to just do a tour of the living room with just some music. So you can enjoy your cocoa or the cup of coffee and listen to some pretty Christmas music. And then I'll get on at the end and kind of explain a few things. I figured it'd just kind of be fun and relaxing to listen to some Christmas music while I give you a tour of my Christmas living room. 🎵 Christmas music 🎵 These are the lights that I shared with you during one of my hauls that I got from TJ Maxx. I love them. They are rechargeable and I love that cozy glow. For the mantel garland, I used a mixture of two that I kind of just intertwined. One is really old and then this beautiful Norfolk pine that I've been talking about that I love. And then I weaved in some plug-in lights. I didn't want to use battery-operated. Battery-operated are great in a pinch, but I really wanted this warm glow that you get from that incandescent plug-in light. So I added those in, weaved those in, and plugged those in too. And then I just added in a bunch of berry picks that I have had on hand for years. Just raided one of my bins and kind of just tucked them out. Tucked them throughout. But what I love here is that beautiful, beautiful tartan ribbon that I shared with you that I found during one of my hauls. It is my favorite tartan ribbon and I've been using it all throughout my home. I even picked up more because it is just so beautiful. So I just kind of made these little bows to kind of tuck and droop in there too. I love the way the mantel looks. It is so, so pretty, especially with these lights. And then the Santa picture. Now I did give a little peek of this on my Instagram stories. This Santa picture I've had for three years or so. I found it for $15 at Dollar General, believe it or not. It's canvas. It's beautiful. I love it. It makes such a statement here on the mantel. And then these stockings I actually found down at Arcade Junction where I actually have a booth too. They're from Hobby Lobby, believe it or not. I didn't realize that until I looked at the text. And they had four of them. So, and the funny thing is, is I actually did see them at Hobby Lobby too. So if you like those stockings too. They're really pretty. I love the tartan on them and they are from Hobby Lobby. I thought I would show you how I made the loop bows that I tuck in the garlands and tree. So I grab my ribbon, again, using tartan, of course. I don't even measure it. So some are bigger than the other. I make my tail and then I just make some loops. So you could do even two or three. You could even stack the ribbon too. I was going to do like a velvet behind it, but I wanted to just keep it simple. So you could even stack two or three on top of each other. And then, so I have my tail and then I just make a couple of loops. You want to use some wired ribbon. So you have that where you can fluff it and zhuzh it up. I go just like that. Again, I don't even measure it. And there's my loops, but I could even do some more if I wanted to too. And then you're going to take some wire. I just use some zip ties to cinch it together. And then you're going to fluff it out. And I like to dovetail the end too. I just trim the back. I have my two little loops. Then I grab my zip tie. And again, you could use some wire as well, but I just use the zip ties because it secures it nice and tight. Trim off the excess. Then I like to dovetail the tail. And there is my little loopy bow. I fluff that out. And then I tuck it in my garland or tree and kind of have that poking out like that too. And again, you could double the ribbon. You could even add more loops. But I just think these are so pretty tucked in garlands in the tree. I have this one that I just made and I thought I would tuck it here in the basket too and then have that tail kind of just drooping out. It looks so pretty in the basket too. And I also hung a berry wreath on each of these windows with more of that tartan ribbon. I used to hang wreaths on these windows for years and then I got away from doing it for a few years. Well, I'm back to doing it because I love it. It is so Christmassy and I love these berry wreaths. Like I said, I've had them for years, but with the tartan to it, it is so pretty. And I love the way it looks on each side of the mantle. I also brought back out my carolers again this year. I didn't have them out last year. I did have them out the previous year. These, you guys, are actually from QVC years ago. I love these carolers and I love the way they look here. I usually have them in my entry, but this year I put them on top of this hutch and they look so pretty here. I also added some greenery as well as some plug-in string lights too. And I love that glow, especially at night. Inside the cabinet is one thing I may change. I just added some nutcracker plates that I had. But I love these two little Christmas music figurines. They were actually my mom's. They have been around since I was a kid and I'm 50. So these have been around for a long time and they are so special. I love these because I remember when I was a kid winding these up and playing them. There's one here and then this one down here too. So they're very special because they remind me when I was a kid. So I placed those in there because I didn't want one of the cats to bump them or something. But I just love those two. But I might change this around a little bit more too. I just added this little Santa with the reindeer from QVC a few years ago. Maybe last year too. As well as a little light up house. The Christmas tree is one thing my daughter Eden and I had so much fun decorating together. We had some Christmas music going as well as a Christmas movie. And she was doing all the ornaments. I was adding in the ribbon. I just make these little bows with some zip ties and kind of just pop them in. So it looks like the bows are popping out. The ribbon's popping out of the tree. Just added some other various ribbons. Lots and lots of berry picks too to really fill it out and add that texture to the tree too. But what was the most special part was just decorating the tree with my daughter. She really wanted to be involved with decorating. And so her and I took our time and enjoyed an evening decorating the tree. I love the big bow on the top too this year that we have. It just turned out so pretty and Christmassy. I kept the shelves on the entertainment center pretty simple. I added this beautiful picture that I also have on the other side too. A wooden nutcracker. I have one of these flameless candles. Aren't they great? I have one on each side too. A little tartan plate. Another flameless candle. I have a lot of blue and white vases throughout my living room too. And then I also have a basket with some holiday greens. And very similar on this side. Another candle. A vase. And then here I have that picture again with the nutcracker and flameless candle. As well as a basket filled with some greens. I call this the back of the living room but it's actually the front of the house because this is a front yard. But we always call this like the back of our living room. Anyways, these pictures. I just got these recently. I found these down at Arcade Junction for $12.50 a piece. I could not have snagged those up quick enough. And the fact that there were two. I love those. That gives that little touch of Ralph Lauren vibe on there too. I love these equestrian hunting pictures. Being matted $12.50. Beautiful frame. I mean that was such a deal. And you may recognize the curtains that I did originally have in the dining room. They look so much better here in the living room. Absolutely love it just because it's a bigger space. And they just really cozy up the room. And here is that other equestrian hunting print that I got. I just love the way they look here. I plan on keeping these up year-round. Not just for Christmas but they are perfect for Christmas too. It wouldn't be Christmas without poinsettias. And I absolutely love these faux poinsettias. I talked about these during my Christmas dining room decorating video. I love just popping these little baskets in a basket. And they just look so festive and Christmassy. And over here on this hutch I have some more blue and white vases. I just recently got this from my mom. A gold deer. Just keeping it very simple. I love these like candles here. I love decorating with candles year-round but especially for Christmas. And then I have these tartan Mackenzie Child trays which I actually got at QVC last year. I wish they had them again this year. I love this set. So I have a pop of that tartan here on this tray. Then I also have the other tray that came with the set on my table behind me. On these little tables I don't want to add much. I don't like a lot of little tchotchkes. But I added some greenery with some more plug-in lights because it's just a cozy, cozy glow. But then I took some ribbon and then just tied it around the lamp for a little festive touch. I talked about this holly during my Christmas kitchen decorating video. I love this holly. I actually have some here as well as in the basket back there too. It is so pretty. I love it. So I put it here along with the gold tray. I have a candle going and then this deer which I found that I shared during one of my hauls. And then for a little pop of red, I added this red rug underneath. I don't want a big one. I just wanted that little pop. So I think this one is a five by seven. And I love how it really cozies up this space. And speaking of cozy, here's one of seven. This is Kitty. He's gonna get mad if I wake him up. And then these are the pillows that I showed you during my Christmas decor haul. So I have them here as well as on the other loveseat over here too. Okay guys, that is all for today's video.
