Joanna Gaines shares footage on Instagram as she elevates her stunning farmhouse with seasonal Christmas decor

Joanna Gaines spent the weekend doing what she does best: decorating!

The Fixer Upper star, 45, shared a video on Instagram Saturday as she collected a variety of seasonal decor items from the Magnolia Market to get her farmhouse ready for Christmas.

“Did some shopping at @Magnolia Market and spent yesterday setting the farm for the holidays ✨,” she wrote in the caption, adding that she made a collection of the products she’d picked out for her family’s home to make it easier for followers to find the decor if they wanted to replicate her festive design choices.

Gaines’ decor included several seasonal wreaths on the front door and outer walls of her family’s home, as well as a garland on the mantlepiece — the perfect accent for the stockings that also hung there.

She also set up a Christmas tree, decorated with twinkly lights, white and silver bulb ornaments and an antique brass collar around the base.

In additon, the mother of five added several smaller details around the house, including a stack of Christmas books, several holiday-scented candles and a comfy throw blanket on the couch.

Gaines finished off the decor — and the video — with a framed portrait of one of her sons, who was all smiles as he sat on Santa’s lap in the adorable shot.

Though her seasonal revamp of her stunning farmhouse in Waco, Texas, was impressive, it didn’t really mark the first Christmas decor to go up in the home — her 5-year-old son, Crew, beat her to it!

Last weekend, Joanna shared a video of her youngest child — whom she shares with husband Chip Gaines — as he took down the Halloween decorations he had in his bedroom and replaced them with Christmas decor, including his very own artificial Christmas tree.

In the video, Crew strung lights around the tree and got on his hands and knees to plug them in and light up the decor.

She also shared a clip of him hanging ornaments on the tree’s branches, as well as some of the other decor pieces in his room, which included several miniature Christmas cottages and a candy cane teddy bear.

"Christmas in Crew's room. He was ready for it🎄 (pre-lit trees are tricky when they not lit😅)," the proud mom captioned her video.

Joanna and Chip also share sons Drake, 18, and Duke, 15, and daughters Ella, 16, and Emmie, 13.

Joanna recently opened up about her close bond with her kids.

"I know that I’m their mother but they feel like just your friends," she told Jenna Bush Hager on Today with Hoda & Jenna earlier this month as she described her crew who includes “four teenagers.”

"It's just a sweet season where the older they get, just the connection that’s there. Like, I want to hang out with them," she shared. "And then the 5-year-old, that just helps with perspective. Like, hold on tight. They grow up really fast."

Joanna also spoke to Hager, 41, about celebrating 20 years of her and Chip's home and lifestyle empire, Magnolia, sharing that "the idea that was in our hearts as a dream was just a small little shop, doing some renovations in town."

"Something much simpler," Chip, 49, noted.

He added that now, they're taking a moment to step back and reflect on 20 years of successes — which have included their own TV network, several brands, a restaurant, a market and hotel in Waco, and, of course, their hit HGTV series.

"It's just like, 'Wow, man — a lot happened.' And you really didn't get time to stop and really smell the roses while it was occurring. But now, for whatever reason, we really feel like we're in just a really nice place."
