Christmas Tree Garland Decorating Ideas

We love decorating with Christmas garlands because they take minimal effort to put up, but they showcase maximum holiday glamour. Plus, anything green in the home (faux or not!) tends to liven up the mood and add a fresh vibrancy to the entire space.

The best Christmas garland for your home all depends on the size and general aesthetic that you'd like. Before you buy, measure the area in which you'd like to place your Christmas garland — some garlands have multiple size options, so you'll want to make sure you order one that won't be too long or short. And if you want a pre-lit garland for extra holiday sparkle, just check if it is a plug-in product or how many batteries the piece requires and stock up accordingly.

Here are 10 Christmas garlands that bring a little holiday spirit to any banister, hearth, windowsill, or threshold.
