Whether you’re celebrating the holidays in the mountains, on the coast, or in a city high-rise, make the most of it by going all-out with festive trimmings in a fresh-yet-timeless theme. From retro-inspired wrapping papers and vintage-style string lights to traditional red-and-white baubles and ruby-colored glassware to rustic wooden dreidels and woven wreaths that won’t leave pine needles strewn about the house, these picks will provide all the inspiration needed to make winter-wonderland dreams come true.
