Talk about merry & bright! This is an upbeat, fun and colorful take on Christmas decorating. Adding a kid’s themed Christmas tree is always a cute, no-fail option! I’m also living for the smaller details like the Santa and reindeer flying across the globe.

What better decorations are there than homemade ones? If you’re anything like us, its crafts galore during this time of year. They definitely deserve to be up front and center and shown off!
4. Decorate with stockings

Okay, I’m somewhere smack in between this minimalist style & the whimsical style from the idea right before this! This is clean and simple yet still beautiful and inviting! The classic stocking combined with the village house pieces make the perfect little cozy moment.
5. Decorate your cube organizer

Animated Climbing Santa On Ladder
If you don’t own a cube organizer like this, are you even a mom?? Lol! This playroom is like a mini step down in colorfulness from the first playroom we looked at. Tried and true classic garland is always a good choice! The mini Christmas buckets are cute little touch too!
Side note: We have this climbing Santa too! It’s super fun and festive but I wouldn’t recommend it for younger kids unless you want to be fixing it every two minutes lol
Playroom Christmas Decor Ideas:
1. Christmas Twinkle Lights
Twinkle Star 100 LED Star String Lights
Twinkle lights during Christmas are forever a staple! Truthfully, in this house they’re a year round staple. They add such a warm and cozy vibe to any room, especially around this time of year!
2. Hang Personalized Kid’s Stockings
Personalized Sparkling Snowflakes Christmas Stocking
If you have a theme going on the living room with your kids “real” stockings, consider getting special ones for the playroom. Even if they aren’t ever going to be filled, they still make for great decorations!
3. Put up a Christmas Neon Light Sign
We love, love, love neon signs! Honestly, what kid (or even adult) doesn’t love a good neon sign? If you’re going for a fun, bright and colorful playroom theme, this would be perfect!
4. Do a felt Christmas tree for younger kids
Felt Christmas Tree Set with Ornaments for Kids
Earlier, we talked about adding a fake kid’s themed Christmas tree. That’s great for older kids but kinda just a pain in the ass when you have young toddlers. Instead, try a felt Christmas tree that they can decorate and redecorate to their hearts desire all month.
5. Create an Elf On The Shelf magic door

Are you completely insane and do Elf on the Shelf? Well, calling all crazy moms! Adding a magical elf door to the playroom is an adorable idea! It’s so cute, it almost makes me want to start Elf on the Shelf…. almost.
6. Make it a winter wonderland with hanging snowflakes

Turn the playroom into a winter wonderland with some snow flakes hanging from the ceiling! I searched high and low on Amazon for nearly an hour to find the best snowflake garland. These ones are truly the most magical and best reviewed! These combined with a tinkle light backdrop would just be so beautiful!
7. Frame some cute wall art prints
