Today I’m sharing 14 Stunning Christmas Garlands from Amazon (Plus Hanging Tips) that caught my eye this year – all available from Amazon. Christmas is a fun time to decorate and garlands can add extra holiday cheer to any space in and around your home.
You can adorn your mantle with a beautiful pine and berry garland, add a cedar and eucalyptus garland to a cabinet or a console table, run a beautiful garland with fruit and candles down the center of your dining room table, or decorate around a kitchen window with a dainty garland with lights. You can also step up your front porch game by adding garlands outdoors around columns, on fences, or over a door frame.
Wherever you place your garland, Amazon has the perfect one for you. But first, let’s go over some tips for selecting the right garland for your space.

Tips for Selecting the Perfect Christmas Garland
Choosing the location of your garland
Before adding that garland to your cart, take a minute to consider where you will be placing it for the holiday season. All garlands come in different lengths and thicknesses and some come with lights already woven through the branches. Decide which type of garland would work best.
Measuring for the right fit
Grab a tape measure and measure the space (mantel, staircase, window, etc) where you would like to place the garland. If you are planning to drape the garland, the rule of thumb is to measure the length of the stair banister or the mantel, then calculate one-and-a-half times that dimension. Example: 6 ft. long banister = 9-foot garland.
Choosing the best type of garland for your space
There are so many options! Do you want a full light-up garland with bright red berries and pinecones or are you looking for something more dainty garland with pine cones to weave in around seasonal candles on your dining table? Below I share several options.
Lighting considerations
An artificial garland may come with lights already attached. Most of these garlands are powered by a battery pack. If you would prefer to plug in lights you could simply buy the lights separately just be sure an outlet is nearby.
Supplies to hang your Christmas garland
Command hooks work well as do these Command cord Bundlers. If you’re decorating a banister you can simply use ribbon or if you’re like me, a simple nail never hurt anyone 🙂
Considerations for outdoor use
To garland a front door, measure one side and double that number. Then measure the width and calculate one-and-a-half times that dimension. To wrap columns take a string or piece of ribbon and wrap the column the way you would like the garland to be and then measure the string.
