How Celebrities Decorate for Halloween and Christmas

As the last candy wrappers settle and pumpkins head for the compost pile, something magical begins in celebrity homes across Hollywood. Halloween ghosts disappear overnight, and Christmas cheer swoops in like a flurry of glitter and joy. For many celebrities who love Halloween and Christmas, the festive transformation begins as early as November 1st.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to trade cobwebs for garlands the moment Halloween ends, you’re not alone. Stars from Mariah Carey to Khloé Kardashian are showing us how to embrace that seasonal magic — and inspiring us to do the same. Let’s peek inside the glittering world of celebrity holiday home decor and see how these stars turn spooky spaces into holiday wonderlands.

Come November, these same celebrities who love Halloween become the celebrities who love Christmas—and they know how to bring the sparkle.

While her daughters often go for grand, glossy Christmas décor, Kris Jenner proves that a little can go a long way when it comes to holiday style. The famous momager adds subtle elegance to her home by updating her kitchen island with festive holiday kitchenware—think red and white platters, gingerbread house mugs, and whimsical Christmas cookie tins. Her approach shows that even the busiest corner of the house can radiate warmth and holiday cheer. It’s proof that you don’t need floor-to-ceiling garlands to feel the magic; sometimes, it’s the smallest seasonal touches—like pouring cocoa from a Santa-shaped teapot—that make a home feel holly-jolly.

Reese Witherspoon, America’s sweetheart of Southern charm, embraces a holiday aesthetic that’s as warm and welcoming as a plate of homemade fudge. When fall fades, she transitions from cozy flannel pumpkins and gingham table runners to a classic Southern Christmas look—rich with red ribbons, antique-style ornaments, and hand-stitched stockings hanging proudly on the mantel. Reese’s home often includes natural accents too: pinecones, magnolia leaves, and cranberries in clear glass bowls. Her holiday décor feels like a Hallmark movie come to life—traditional, heartfelt, and full of joy. It’s the kind of home where you want to kick off your boots, wrap up in a quilt, and stay a while.

When it comes to celebrities who love Christmas, nobody does it like Mariah Carey. Her transformation from diva to Santa’s biggest fan has become a seasonal tradition of its own. Each year, on November 1st, she posts her iconic “It’s time!” video—ushering in the Christmas season with sparkle and song. And the inside of her home? It’s nothing short of a winter dream. We’re talking multiple Christmas trees dripping in crystals, life-size nutcrackers, faux snow covering every surface, and a cozy glamor that screams All I Want for Christmas is You. Her over-the-top style is joyful, unapologetically festive, and utterly magical. If there’s one celebrity who truly lives in a snow-globe fantasy, it’s Mariah.

From Halloween haunt to holiday heaven, Kylie Jenner’s home is a masterclass in high-glam decorating. As soon as the spooky season fades, she swaps gothic blacks for icy whites, moody purples for shimmery silvers. Her décor often features luxurious materials—think velvet bows in blush and champagne tones, sleek white artificial trees, and garlands that twinkle like diamonds. Every detail is curated and cohesive, right down to her wrapping paper and matching table settings. It’s a holiday vision worthy of a fashion spread—elegant, modern, and still full of Christmas charm. Kylie shows that you can keep things cool and contemporary without losing the warmth of the season.

From cozy kitchens to glittering foyers, these celebrity homes remind us that holiday magic comes in many styles—classic, cozy, glitzy, or grand. Whether you're inspired by Kris's subtle charm, Reese’s Southern warmth, Mariah’s sparkling spectacle, or Kylie’s modern elegance, there’s a little piece of Christmas joy waiting for everyone.

Want to channel your inner Kardashian or get crafty like Stacey Solomon? Here are some celebrity-inspired decorating tips:

For the Halloween-to-Christmas Switch:

Start Neutral: If you’re decorating with an eye for longevity, start with neutral elements in your Halloween setup. White pumpkins, birch candles, and gold-accented decor can easily glide into the Christmas season with a few magical tweaks. Add a dusting of faux snow, swap spider webs for twinkling fairy lights, and suddenly your autumn table becomes a winter wonderland centerpiece.

Prep Early: Take a cue from celebrities who love Christmas—they're ready to roll by November 1st! Keep your Christmas decorations organized and accessible so you can transition quickly once the trick-or-treaters go home. Store ornaments by color or theme, label your boxes, and maybe even set out your wreaths the night before. When you’re prepped early, the switch feels joyful, not stressful.

Change the Scents: Smell is one of the quickest ways to shift the atmosphere of your home. Swap out the spicy scents of Halloween—like cinnamon or pumpkin spice—for fresh holiday fragrances. Pine, peppermint, vanilla sugar, or fir balsam candles instantly say “It’s Christmas time!” You’ll feel the shift even before you hang the first ornament.

From Halloween haunts to holiday havens, we’re here to help you decorate like the stars. At The Christmas Loft, you’ll find everything from twinkling lights and shimmering garlands to collectible figurines and miniature houses to make your season bright.

So swap those bats for baubles, light a peppermint candle, and join the celebrities who love Halloween and celebrities who love Christmas in turning your home into a holiday haven. After all, in our hearts (and in our store), it’s always Christmas.
