How I Deck the Halls with King of Christmas (and Why You’ll Love It Too)
A gentle, cozy approach: non lit tree with hand strung lights, layered garlands, and velvet ornaments.
Creating warmth, wonder, and the magic of home.
The first sparkle of Christmas
There’s something about that moment you open the first box of Christmas décor. The faint smell of pine (real or not), the quiet hum of Christmas music in the background, and the way the air just feels different.
Every year, as soon as the weather turns cool, I look forward to decorating our home for Christmas. It’s more than putting up a tree. It’s setting the tone for the season. Creating spaces that feel peaceful, joyful, and alive with light.
This year, our home came to life with King of Christmas, and I can honestly say it brought the exact feeling I hoped for: cozy, intentional, and full of warmth.
Why I chose King of Christmas
Their trees look so real, both from across the room and up close. The quality and detail are incredible, and their designs balance beauty with durability.
I also love the peace of mind that comes with free shipping and a two-year warranty. Little things that make a big difference during the holidays.
Whether you’re looking for something full and grand or something slim and simple, King of Christmas has a variety of sizes and styles that fit every home.
And if you scroll through their Instagram, you’ll see what drew me in: real homes, real families, and that same soft holiday glow that makes everything feel like Christmas.
The tree really does set the foundation. But the fun, and the meaning are in the decorating, the ritual, the glow.
My step-by-step holiday decorating ritual
1. Choose the tree.
I start by choosing a King of Christmas tree that fits our space in height, fullness, and style. I walk around the box, picture it in the corner, and imagine how it will feel once lit.
2. Fluff & string the lights.
Even without built-in lights, this step is my favorite. I love adding my own, layering strands to make the glow feel soft and natural. It gives me more control and makes the process feel personal.
3. Garland & greenery.
Garlands are my go-to for adding texture and warmth. I love draping them across the mantel, stair rail, or doorway. They make the space feel cozy and full without needing too much else.
4. Ornaments & personal touches.
This year, I’m going with velvet ornaments, a little luxe, a little nostalgic, and perfectly soft under the tree lights. I mix them with a few personal ornaments from past years, tiny reminders of all the seasons before this one.
5. The finishing touches.
A woven tree collar, a cozy throw under the tree, a lamp dimmed low, and maybe a candle flickering nearby. Then I step back. Take a photo. Breathe it in.
My favorite King of Christmas pieces
A beautifully full tree that fits your space and style.
Non-lit trees (so you can create your own soft glow with string lights).
Lush, realistic garlands that drape naturally across any surface.
Soft velvet ornaments for that timeless, cozy elegance.
Why it matters beyond the beauty
Decorating for Christmas has never been about perfection. It’s about presence.
It creates a space of anticipation, that little gasp when the lights first turn on.
It gives children memories, like “Remember when the tree lights twinkled and we made cookies?”
It signals a season of rest and togetherness, the quiet in-between moments.
It becomes part of your family story, a visual snapshot of this year’s joy.
When I look around our home now, glowing softly under the lights I strung myself and the velvet ornaments gently catching the light, I’m reminded that the magic of Christmas doesn’t come from how much we decorate. It comes from the heart we put into it.
