It may only be September, but the Christmas collections are dropping fast, albeit quietly, and the first to catch our eye is Joanna Gaines' new Christmas collection at Magnolia.

This 180-piece drop is brimming with heritage-inspired holiday decor ideas that speak to Joanna's signature style and radiate characterful Christmas energy. Plus, the collection gives us a sneak peek at the design trends set to define the holiday season – from key colors and textures to motifs and aesthetics. If this collection is any indication of the look of this year's holiday season, then we should expect rich, charmingly layered, and lively spaces that feel as design-driven as they do personal, complete with timeless, heirloom-quality decor.

Let these trends from Joanna Gaines' holiday range be a guide to help you stay ahead of the game when it comes time to swap your fall decor for festive picks. Find the standout trends of the season below.

1. Soft Velvet

No material feels as aligned with the holiday season as velvet. Its plush, heavy texture instantly adds warmth to any space – making it the perfect material for holiday decorating. Magnolia's Christmas collection has tons of pieces finished in velvet, including the Amber Embroidered Tree Skirt and the Noella Lumbar Pillow. Other pieces feature subtle velvet accents as a tasteful complement to their forms – like the Tulip Icicle Ornaments with their velvet ribbons or the Evergrove Stocking with its velvet edge.

2. Brass Accents

If Magnolia's Christmas line is any indication of what will be trending this winter, then we should expect brass details to be the highlight of the season. Joanna's drop is brimming with brass – from brass trinkets like this adorable deer figurine to brass Christmas tree decor like this clip-on tree topper.

This metallic finish speaks to Joanna's signature vintage-inspired aesthetic with its inherent warmth and time-worn look. Any brass detail you bring into your home this holiday season will give your space an inviting, characterful, and charming feel. Plus, its reflective finish will tastefully glow alongside the rest of your seasonal decor.

3. Rich Burgundy

Red and green will always be the most iconic and desirable Christmas colors, and while Joanna's collection is brimming with holiday finds in those spirited shades, there's another color trend that comes through too: .

Burgundy is one of the top color trends for fall, so it only makes sense that Joanna has reimagined it for the holiday season. In her collection, we're seeing burgundy-toned everything, from stockings and tree skirts to bows and even an advent calendar.

This deep, rich, and grounding color is like a cousin to the Christmas red we know and love. It can bring a sense of freshness to your holiday scheme while complementing the traditional Christmas colors you already have in your holiday decor collection.

4. Carved Wood Details

No matter the time of year, carved wood details have a way of making a home look timeless, heritage-inspired, and one-of-a-kind. It's no surprise then that Joanna Gaines – the queen of all things timeless – included carved wood details in her holiday collection.

From neatly carved ornaments and nutcracker trinkets to wooden stocking holders and serving trays, the carved wooden pieces in Magnolia's holiday collection bring character to the range in its entirety. In your home, these details can add texture, warmth, and time-worn charm to your holiday display.

Magnolia's Christmas Collection is just the start. Over the next few weeks, many of our favorite brands will be launching their holiday collections so we can begin to shop all of the hottest Christmas trends.
