If there’s one thing we’ve been getting giddy for all year, it’s decorating our homes for the festive period. For some reason, this yearly tradition is waaaay more exciting than the holiday itself. We can’t be the only ones who think so, are we?
So, in this post, we’re sharing some of the most aesthetically pleasing Christmas window decorations destined to make your neighbours jelly with stunning displays. From outdoor lights to compact ornaments for your windowsill, we’ve got a myriad of decor ideas to suit your style!
(Psst.. we’ve got some fabulous ideas for beautifully decorated Christmas trees, too!)
Christmas Window Decorations
Indoor Lights
Let’s kick off the list with our fave way to style windows at Christmas – indoor lights. This season is all about lighting up the darkness in the most magical fashion, right? So, it’s only right to embrace a spellbinding, glistening glow all month long.
And the best thing about indoor lights? They stay in top-notch condition for years as they’re never exposed to the harsh winter weather.
Our Fave Finds:
Curtain Lights
Our #1 way to make a lasting statement, curtain lights certainly cannot be missed. Typically designed with a myriad of LEDs, they light up your entire window area, creating a subtle glimmer both inside and outside.
TOP TIP: Warm white LEDs always make your space feel warm and cosy (in comparison with cool white). Not only is this a must during the colder months, but it’s one of the home decor tips we live by year-round!

Individual Lights
Individual lights are perfect when you’re searching for more compact Christmas window decorations. Available in a varied size range, you can either fill the window pane with one standout piece, or create a minimalistic aesthetic with a single dinky light.

Candle Bridges
If you prefer a more traditional vibe when it comes to your Christmas window decorations, candle bridges are a must. Placed in the centre of your windowsill, they create a soft burst of light, giving a subtle nod to the festive goings-on behind the curtains!

Outdoor Lights
Outdoor lights are often way brighter, more expansive, and have much more of a dramatic look – exactly what we’re after for our Christmas window decorations.
But the trick here is to not get too carried away. Think “the simpler, the better” to achieve a beautifully festive yet classy display!

Light Up Ornaments
If you’ve only got a small windowsill or simply prefer more understated Christmas decor, light up ornaments are a dazzling choice.
It’s totally up to you what vibe you go for. Whether you choose something super simple to let the lights do the talking or pick an ornament with intricate details lending endless visual appeal, it’ll transform your window for the festive period.

Light Up Wreaths
We know what you’re thinking, and you’re right, wreaths are (traditionally) hung on your front door, or somewhere near the entryway. But we’re all for breaking the rules and getting a little creative – and you should, too.
Wreaths look equally stunning adorned on your window, helping you lean into a more minimal vibe for your Christmas window decorations. And for those who prioritise low-effort decor, it’s a no-brainer.
TOP TIP: Find a super discrete and window-friendly wreath hanger like the Command hooks on Amazon. This saves you from having to create a permanent fixture and maximises the aesthetic edge.
Hold up – there’s another fabulous way to style your wreath. Place it in the centre of your sill and add an array of pillar candles to the inside. Et voila, you’ve got Christmas window decorations with a distinctive touch!

Window Stickers
Anyone else feeling hella nostalgic? Back in the early 00s, Christmas window stickers were all the talk. In fact, if you didn’t hop on the hype of this festive decor, you hadn’t really decorated for Christmas at all (just kidding, ofc).
Again, window stickers are one of the more traditional Christmas window decorations, but they’re perfect for interiors with lots of character. Consider them an oldie but a goldie.
