My favorite Target Christmas decorations for Christmas 2022. Here are my top picks for Holiday decor this year.
Target has long been one of my first stops when shopping for holiday decor. Each season they bring fresh, budget-friendly options and this year is no exception. I tend to look for on-trend pieces and trustworthy lines, and brands like Studio McGee, Opalhouse, and Hearth & Hand consistently offer beautiful choices that feel more upscale than their price suggests.
My local Target was packed with seasonal items, so I spent a few hours curating a list of favorites for shopping both in-store and online. Below I share the standout pieces I found and a few tips for finding great holiday deals at Target.

If you’re hunting for budget-friendly finds, be sure to check Bullseye’s Playground (formerly the Dollar Spot) for seasonal ornaments, tabletop accents, and small giftable items. It’s a great place to pick up coordinating pieces without spending a lot.
One of my top purchases this year is the Long Needle Pine with Juniper Wreath from Studio McGee. It looks high-end and realistic, yet it’s very affordable — a great example of the kind of value Target offers through its designer collaborations.
If you want more gift and decor ideas, I also round up shopping guides and curated lists elsewhere on my site, including Christmas tree collars, holiday romance reads, and inclusive plus-size Christmas pajamas.
My Favorite Target Christmas Decor
Here are a few general categories and pieces I recommend checking out when you visit Target this season:
- Wreaths and Greenery: Look for realistic wreaths and garlands from Studio McGee and Hearth & Hand. They layer well and add instant polish to any entry or mantel.
- Ornaments: Mix higher-quality designer ornaments with budget finds from Bullseye’s Playground for a collected, intentional tree look without overspending.
- Tree Skirts and Collars: A good tree collar or skirt upgrades the base of your tree and pulls the room together. Target has a variety of textures and finishes to match traditional or modern trees.
- Tabletop Decor: Mini trees, votives, and tabletop garlands are easy ways to spread holiday cheer throughout the home. Opalhouse often has eclectic, colorful pieces while Hearth & Hand offers classic neutrals.
- Textiles and Pajamas: Cozy throws, themed pillows, and matching family pajamas are a fun investment that make the season feel extra special.
When shopping, try to mix textures—wood, glass, faux greenery, and woven fibers—to create depth and interest. Pick a color story (classic red and green, calm neutrals, or a modern palette) and select a few statement pieces to anchor the look. Fill in with smaller, affordable accents from Bullseye’s Playground.
Finally, if you prefer to shop online, Target’s site often mirrors what’s in stores, though popular items can sell out quickly. If you find something you love, consider purchasing promptly or using the app to check nearby store availability.
