Once the festive season rolls around, your social calendar becomes full of parties, events, and Christmas functions. It’s a time when we all like to embrace a little glamour, whether it’s getting dressed up on Christmas Eve or going all out with your Christmas tree.
Enter Disco Christmas – one of the biggest Christmas decorating trends of recent years.
This festive trend is all about making a statement with 70s-inspired sparkle, disco balls, and retro glamour. If you love to throw parties and host friends during the holidays, this Christmas trend will be your perfect match. It blends nostalgia with maximalism, helping you embrace the festive season with sparkle and shine.
What is Disco Christmas?
Disco Christmas is best described as being like walking into a 1970s party with all its iridescent décor, metallic fashion, and glittering mirror balls. This fun aesthetic is all about maximalism and going over the top with sparkle. Its modern glamour meets the light-hearted fun of retro fashion.
You can incorporate this trend into your Christmas tree decorating with clear iridescent glass baubles and by making a statement with oversized mirror ball baubles. Have fun with this Christmas trend and make it your own by experimenting with colour and whimsical home décor.
How to Embrace the Disco Christmas Trend
Everyone’s tree is unique, and the disco trend adds a fun retro Christmas twist with a touch of glitz and glamour, bringing the party season into your home. This trend is versatile, whether you want to go all in with maximum sparkle or incorporate it alongside other Christmas trends for a personalised look.
Here are three easy ways to bring the disco Christmas trend to your decorating this holiday season:
1 - Disco Ball Christmas Baubles
Baubles are the easiest way to experiment with the disco trend. Mix and match different sizes to add depth and balance to your Christmas tree. You can make a statement by placing different mirror ball Christmas ornaments close together on your tree.
While silver and gold are the most popular, you can have fun with your colour palette with red, black and pastel hues. If you want added sparkle, consider incorporating fairy lights close to your tree to accentuate its look.
2 - Glitter & Gemstone Decorative Accents
The more sparkle, the better! You can make the disco trend as glamorous as you want by incorporating glitter, gemstones, and rhinestones into your Christmas decorating.
Don’t just focus on your baubles! A pre-lit bow Christmas tree topper or Starburst topper will add a luxury and glamorous finish to your tree. The disco trend doesn’t have to be impractical.
3 - Neon & Metallic Christmas Colour Palette
If you’re not a fan of glitter or sparkle, choosing a neon and metallic colour palette is another way of embracing the disco Christmas tree. Our quilted metal tree collar adds an extra touch of shine to your decorating and is a great alternative to a Christmas tree skirt if you have pets or small children.
Looking beyond your Christmas tree is an easy way to maximize the impact of this trend with window silhouettes and pre-lit Christmas wreaths. Explore ways to add a party atmosphere to your Christmas decorating with a neon colour palette of pink, purple, teal, chrome, and silver.
How to Style a Disco Christmas Tree
The disco trend is perfect for a traditional tree, or you can choose a white Christmas tree for an added ‘wow’ factor. After fluffing and shaping your Christmas tree, add warm or cool LED tree lights. These lights will add extra sparkle to your baubles, especially if they have sequins and gemstones, or a metallic finish.
Put larger decorations closer to the centre of your tree, with smaller baubles on the outside. Complete your disco Christmas tree with a statement topper and a Christmas tree skirt to conceal your base and catch the needles to protect your floor.
Disco Christmas Décor Beyond Your Tree
The disco Christmas trend isn’t just for your tree. Make your mantelpiece a focal point of your living room with a pre-lit garland and set the tone outside your home with an outdoor silhouette. Bring the trend to your Christmas table with silver napkin rings, a metallic table runner, and sparkly décor.
