What Would the Holidays Be Without the Tinsel, the Trees, and the Sparkling Lights?
To make the magic come to life year after year, the following ideas for storing your holiday decor will work wonders.
Start From Christmas Past
Laying the foundation one year in advance ensures a smooth transition into the holidays the next year. Make sure everything you store away is in working order—this will help keep you calm and in the holiday spirit. Declutter broken or unwanted items now to minimize stress in Christmases of the future.
Categorize Your Decorations
Group items according to the rooms where they’re displayed, or pool similar items like tabletop decor, tree lights, or ornaments together. Label storage containers accordingly for easy access next season.
Find the Perfect Home for It All
Avoid storing decorations in basements or attics due to temperature fluctuations. Use closets or under-bed storage for delicate items and textiles.
Curate Your Christmas Containers
Choose specialized storage solutions:
- Use cardboard dividers for delicate ornaments
- Try storage boxes with viewing windows like the Honey-Can-Do Holiday Storage Box
- Place fragile ornaments in top rows of containers
Hang Up Your Wreath With Care
Protect wreaths with dedicated storage solutions:
- Use a wreath storage bag hung from hooks
- Consider crush-proof containers like a wreath storage box
Store Lights Tangle-Free
Prevent frustration with these solutions:
- Christmas light reels and storage bag sets for up to 800 lights
- Cardboard wrapped with lights in clear freezer bags
Turn Over a New Wrap Sheet
Organize wrapping supplies with:
- Portable wrapping stations with compartments
- Hanging organizers like a double-sided gift wrap organizer
Invest in Greenery Bags
Protect artificial trees and garlands with:
- Rolling tree keeper bags

Keep Holiday Fabrics Fresh
Use airtight containers for textiles like stockings and blankets. Avoid extreme temperatures that can damage fabrics.
