See How Joanna Gaines Styled Her Larger-Than-Life Christmas Tree This Year

Emulate the design star’s Christmas tree choice this winter for a sophisticated yet cozy holiday season.

December is upon us, so you know what that means: It’s officially time to deck the halls of your space, and Fixer Upper star and interior design extraordinaire Joanna Gaines is obviously on top of ringing in the season. On November 25—just two days after Thanksgiving—she shared a video of her family setting up their massive Christmas tree, and the Reel, while short and sweet, is packed with holiday decor inspiration. Classic, festive, and larger than life, Gaines’s tree doesn't shy away from capturing the spirit of the season.

The video shows a few helping hands moving an enormous fiddle-leaf fig tree out of one room, just to replace it with a giant Christmas tree—almost reaching her home’s lofty ceilings. “Mama likes big trees,” Gaines wrote in the caption. Once the tree was put in place, the real fun began: decorating.

If you’re considering going big or going home with your tree, there are some pros and cons to keep in mind. Gaines’s certainly makes a bold statement—it’s the focal point of her living room and draws the eye to her beautiful vaulted ceilings. Plus, the choice to host a giant tree means there’s much more space to show off your favorite ornaments and have fun with decorating.

While all the extra space for decorating can be a plus, it can also make the process more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Plus, the cost of a large tree itself usually rings up at a higher price tag than a smaller counterpart. Gaines’s tree looks to be real, but if you’re working with an artificial evergreen, storage may prove to be an issue as well.

Going beyond the size, decorating is where Gaines shines—and where you’ll be able to steal a few ideas. This year, Gaines kept her tree colorful and bright while still maintaining her signature timeless style—and that’s all thanks to the colors she chose.

Reds, golds, and greens have been the hallmarks of Christmas colors for centuries, harkening back to ancient Celtic people who, according to Reader's Digest, cherished red and green holly plants—especially in the winter, using them as decorations during the winter solstice. Over the past few hundred years, we’ve kept that tradition alive with classic Christmas decor.

The sophisticated Christmas look works with just about any style, but in Gaines’s enchanting farmhouse home, this year's towering holiday centerpiece fits right in. She manages to orchestrate a symphony of warm, golden lights and traditional red and green ornaments, infusing her home with all the charm classic Christmas design brings.
