The Christmas wreath is a classic signal of the start of the festive season; often, it's the first piece of decor to go up, adding a warm welcome to front doors and windows. And year after year, wreath designs are getting more unique and playful, so whether you like a traditional evergreen design or are looking for something chic and minimalist, this year's offerings are vast.

For a traditional Christmas decor display, you can’t go wrong with an evergreen wreath adorned with berries, pinecones, and twinkling lights, like Balsam Hill’s Vermont Spruce Wreath or Macy’s Frosted Heritage Wreath. But this year, we’re seeing a slight digression from the expected. With blue as a strong holiday color trend, brands like McGee & Co. and Crate & Barrel have embraced this icy hue in their holiday wreaths. This Flax and Cedar Wreath from Lulu and Georgia features classic shades of red and green, but the vibrant, bursting effect of its branches makes it an unconventional style that we're loving right now.

Material matters too, and while evergreen wreaths yield the most iconic holiday look, we’re seeing brands branch out this season (pun intended). Terrain’s done so with its Iron Icon Wreath, and so has Grandin Road with its Capiz Wreath. These alternative materials result in unique wreaths that can add a fresh level of visual interest to your home this holiday season.

Whether you choose a classic style, an avant-garde display, or a model with whimsical elements, all Christmas wreaths share one defining feature: they're an effortless way to spread holiday cheer anywhere around your home. Ahead, find 16 options for a festive holiday display.
