If we had to associate specific feelings with Christmas, joy and happiness would definitely be on the list, but nostalgia just might take the number one spot. It seems like for most people, the best Christmasses were the ones we experienced as kids, surrounded by the classic decor put up by our parents and grandparents. And as much as we love all of the chic, sleek, and modern holiday decorations that are avaiable these days, when we really want to put our whole heart into the Christmas celebrations, we always have to add some vintage flair. From tabletop trees to retro ornaments, vintage holiday wall art to candles for the tree (that won’t burn the house down), these are some of our favorite vintage Christmas decor finds that will scratch that nostalgia itch.
We can’t be the only ones whose Grandma’s ceramic lit Christmas tree was the star of the family’s seasonal decor. There’s something so classic and cozy about this design, but it fits in well with modern spaces, too.
Straight out of the atomic age, this silvery, pointed tree topper is like a big vintage ornament.
We love the sweet look of these vintage-style reindeer figurines. How cute would they look on the mantle or around a Christmas train set?
This cozy nightlight features characters from the beloved Rankin & Bass Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer holiday special.
Whether you’re creating a holiday gallery wall or want a couple of vintage-inspired Christmas art prints in each room, this 12 piece set will do the job nicely.
Deck your tree out with these retro-styled wooden Christmas ornaments. The 36-piece set sports designs like gingerbread cookies, snowmen, Santa, presents, and more.
These days, everyone knows that putting real candles on your Christmas tree is a huge fire hazard. But golly, it sure does look pretty. That’s why we love these LED flameless candles, which clip onto your tree to create a cozy glow without putting your family in danger.
People might sneer, but back in the day sparkly, silvery artificial Christmas trees were all the rage. Throw on some mid-century modern-inspired ornaments to complete the look.
This vintage reproduction of the 1942 Sears Christmas catalog will give you all the warm fuzzies. It’s a great coffee table book that guests who are visiting for the holidays can browse while sitting in front of the Christmas tree.
Let’s face it, most of us just don’t have the time or ability to knit a big cozy throw like this on our own, but this Threshold cable knit blanket is almost as good as something grandma would have made.
This adorable pink and blue, vintage-style mini jukebox isn’t just for show — it actually plays eight classic Christmas songs, including Jingle Bells, Silent Night, and Santa Baby.
Made of striped glass with green, gold, silver, and red accents, these vintage-style ornaments will add a retro vibe to your tree.
