Christmas in July: Our Top 5 Decorating Picks (Updated 2023)

Every year around the midway point, as families enjoy much-needed vacations, and beach season is in full swing, we are reminded that Christmas is nigh. It might seem a strange juxtaposition to imagine jolly Ol’ St. Nick and his elves chilling out with tropical libations in the middle of summer, but Christmas in July has become a beloved tradition.

While this annual occasion is sometimes welcomed with hosting Christmas parties, baking cookies, listening to holiday carols, watching classic Christmas movies and even setting up a Christmas tree on the beach, everyone has their own special way of celebrating. The motivation behind Christmas in July was to encourage and promote the joy of the holiday spirit smack dab in the middle of the year. It’s almost like having 2 Christmases to look forward to!

But there is another reason why Christmas in July is so awesome. Its festive prompt gives us an opportunity to maximize our holiday decorating plans. Preparing to have the kind of home that will impress, inspire and elate our family and guests takes time, which makes July an ideal starting point. Plus, when you’re shopping for Christmas decorations, when do you think would be the optimal time: in December when everyone is scrambling at the last minute, or in July when it’s still early enough to take advantage of the best selection?

We thought Christmas in July would be the perfect opportunity for the Gift Advisors from The Bradford Exchange to draft a list of some of our favorite ways to decorate for the holidays. We have such a wide selection of Christmas decorations, making your home stand out could be just a few clicks away – especially if you plan early. To get you started on all the special things Santa and his elves have been working on, please enjoy Our Top 5 Decorating Picks for Christmas in July.

Sparkle of the Season Table Centerpiece Collection

Bring peace, love and joy to your dining room table, mantel or side table with this collection inspired by the art of famed painter Thomas Kinkade.
