Crafting a Christmas Candy Wonderland: Decorations for a Sweet Christmas
Oct 2nd 2025

Want to make your Christmas even sweeter? Embrace the trend toward cookie and candy-themed Christmas decorations!
Decorators are leaning into peppermint stripes, pastel candy colors and gingerbread Christmas decor in a big way – and it’s easy to see why.
For one thing, these traditional Christmas treats are closely tied to cozy holiday memories, like baking with the family or visiting a Christmas village.
Cookie and candy ornaments and tabletop decorations easily anchor a central decor theme. However, if you want to make your current decorations just a touch more trendy, they also blend well with traditional Christmas decor.
From Christmas ornaments to lights and tabletops to outdoor decorations, there’s no shortage of ways to sweeten your holiday decor.
Join us for a little trip down Candy Cane Lane for a taste of all the red and white striped, pastel colored and finely iced decorations inspired by our favorite holiday treats we have in store for your Christmas decorating this season!
Candy Cane Inspiration
The swirling stripes on this pair of glass ball Christmas ornaments are as refreshing as a peppermint drop. The 4-inch red and white glass balls have a combination of shiny and glass finishes and are festively accented with glitter and beads. Use them to support a red and white theme, a candy cane themed Christmas tree or as a crisp addition to traditional red and green Christmas decor.
Light the way to your door with a set of five candy cane Christmas lawn stakes. The 28-inch high lighted candy cane lawn decorations include ground stakes for stability to light a 13-foot stretch of driveway or walkway for your Christmas guests. Plus, the candy cane lights are battery operated for convenience, so you don’t have to worry about outdoor plugs or extension cords.
Cheerful red and white spiral cord and tiny red pompoms trim this white Christmas poinsettia stem. With its subtle nod to a candy cane theme, this 22-inch candy cane poinsettia adds a playful touch to your Christmas decor. It provides a whimsical touch that can be worked into your Christmas tree, garland, tabletop arrangement or mantel display.
This pre-decorated peppermint candy artificial pine wreath is a riot of red and white decorations! Striped bows, ball ornaments, candy canes and peppermint candy garland are complemented by red berries, white pom poms, miniature wrapped presents and a cluster of silver jingle bells. This joyous combination of decorations makes our 42-inch unlit red and white Christmas wreath a showstopping addition to your peppermint stick-inspired decor.

The flame glowing behind a frost-blurred window hints at a cozy fire within this gingerbread house style tabletop decoration. The 14-inch gingerbread house is accented with iridescent glitter, white icing, peppermint candies and cookie Christmas trees. Battery-operated with a convenient on-off switch, set our lighted gingerbread house on a mantel, entry table, buffet or side table as a beautiful addition to your gingerbread decor.
This 8.25-inch gingerbread Christmas decoration blends warmth and charm with a sprinkle of sophistication. The sturdy resin Christmas tree is accented with an intricate white icing design and glitter that sparkles like decorative sugar. The subtle brown and white color scheme compliments many Christmas styles and combines seamlessly with other gingerbread decor.
Our 11.5-inch resin gingerbread gnome is a cheery and charming little addition to your gingerbread decorations. He’s dressed in a pink and white coat and a hat with a peppermint candy style pom pom – details and colors that also blend well with candy-themed Christmas decor. Icing-like trim reinforces the Christmas cookie theme, as does the star-shaped gingerbread cookie decorated with a snowflake design that he seems ready to offer as a friendly gift.
Candy-Colored Decor
Pastel Christmas decor trend meets nutcracker obsession in our pastel Christmas Candy Nutcracker King. Our resin Christmas figure stands nearly 22 inches tall and wears a green and pink coat, striped trousers and pink boots, with a strawberry cake crown and swirled candy pedestal. With icing-like embellishments and button candy trim, this sweet Christmas sentinel can’t help but stand out on a table, mantel, or by the fireplace hearth.
Popular holiday candies have inspired Christmas decorations depicting hard candies, gumdrops, macarons, cupcakes and dozens of other sweet treats in bright candy-coated colors. In line with this trend, our colorful 6-foot faux candy garland tempts with a series of brightly colored beads that imitate sugar-frosted hard candies. Drape it on your Christmas tree, wind it through your garland or a candy-themed wreath, or wind it down the center of your dining table with other candy-themed Christmas decorations for cheery holiday color.
Ribbon candy inspired these colorful, can’t-miss Christmas tree ornaments. The 5.5-inch pendant ornaments grab attention with sparkling “sugar-coated” waves of bright pink, purple, green and blue striped with white.
