Christmas is my all-time favorite holiday. Don’t get me wrong, it can get quite hectic. But, there’s something about seeing the first few Christmas decor pop up in shops and restaurants around the metro that fuels an excitement within me. My calendar is filled to the brim with meet ups and Christmas parties, and I start making a long list of Christmas presents to buy for friends and family. Everything is just so busy…but exciting! Gather up all your excess holiday energy and make your home Christmas-ready with these bright and festive Scandinavian colors.

Nothing quite screams “Christmas” than the color red. It’s everywhere from gift wrappers and tinsels to Santa Clauses’s robes. And what a fitting color it is for such a joyous occasion.  This vibrant red hue is not just known for exuding warmth and passion; but also for stimulating the appetite. Ever wonder why most fast food chains are decked in red? Paint your dining room with the fiery red hue of Eagle Eye Cherry and feast to your heart’s content!

When I was a child, the thing I looked forward to the most was setting up our Christmas tree at home. I’m just kidding, the thing I looked forward to the most was receiving presents, but I digress. Make it a family tradition! Get the kids involved with setting up the Christmas tree. Adorn it in bright, sparkly, and vibrant tinsel and decor.

Still need to do some last minute Christmas shopping for friends and family? Can’t go wrong with the all-time festive favorite, chocolate. Bring some chocolate cake to the office Christmas party. There’s always room for dessert! Unleash your inner baking goddess and try your hand at homemade chocolate chip cookies. This extra personal touch adds a ton of thoughtfulness to any gift.

What’s Christmas without Christmas lights? Nowadays, fairy lights come in all sorts of shapes and colors. However, nothing beats the classic flickering yellow lights. If electrical safety is a huge concern for you, consider painting your walls with the equally bright and energizing yellow hue of Honey Mead. It adds a lot of warmth into the home and makes for great pictures!
