With spring in the air, why not add a touch of Christmas cheer to your Easter décor?
Whether you’re a holiday enthusiast or just love the cosy charm of twinkling lights and nostalgic trimmings, here’s how to bring a little yuletide magic to your Easter celebrations.
1. Easter Tree with a Yuletide Vibe
Just like a Christmas tree—but bunny approved! Start with a small artificial tree or some blossoming branches (think pussy willow or forsythia) arranged in a vase. Decorate with:
Mini pastel baubles
Glittery eggs
Tiny wooden ornaments shaped like rabbits, chicks, or lambs
A star topper (why not? It’s a Christmas/Easter fusion!)
Wrap the base in soft faux snow or a floral-patterned cloth for that perfect blend of seasons.
2. Twinkling Lights, All Year Bright
Fairy lights aren’t just for December! String warm white or pastel-hued lights around windows, wreaths, or your Easter centrepiece. Bunny-shaped lights or egg-inspired bulbs bring that spring feel, while still capturing Christmas sparkle.
3. Festive Table Settings
Combine seasonal colours with traditional Christmas elegance:
Use gold or silver chargers under plates decorated with florals or bunnies.
Napkin rings shaped like tiny wreaths or holly, but in pastel tones.
Name cards shaped like Easter eggs with a dusting of glitter.
Add a few baubles or mini pinecones (sprayed pink, lilac or yellow) scattered among the daffodils and hot cross buns for a magical effect.
4. Christmas Stockings… for the Easter Bunny
Yes, really! Hang pastel stockings or miniature gift bags on your mantel, filled with Easter treats. Label each with a family member’s name and let the Easter Bunny do a little festive delivery of chocolate eggs, small toys, or spring-themed trinkets.
5. Crossover Wreaths
Mix evergreen sprigs with faux spring florals to create a door wreath that feels both fresh and festive. Tuck in some small Easter eggs, ribbon bows in Christmas red and mint green, and perhaps a little wooden cross or bunny silhouette.
6. Holiday Scents and Sounds
Why not play instrumental versions of carols alongside fresh spring tunes? Light candles in vanilla, pine, or cinnamon scents and mix with florals like lavender or peony to create a comforting seasonal blend. You’ll be surprised how seamlessly they work together.
Why Mix Christmas with Easter?
Blending these two joyful seasons brings together family, tradition, and creativity. It’s a reminder that the warmth, kindness, and fun of Christmas doesn’t need to be limited to the coldest time of year. Plus, your guests will love the unexpected charm of your Easter wonderland with a North Pole twist!
