Ever since we could remember, the kitchen has always been our favorite room in the house. Maybe it’s the cozy memories we have baking with our mom. Maybe it’s because we have always loved cooking delicious recipes. Whatever the reason, it’s truly the heart of the home in every season. However, during the holidays, it seems to come to life even more.

Decorating our kitchen with adorable holiday tea towels, Christmas runners, and Santa cookie jars are just a few ways we love spreading holiday cheer into the space. If you’re wondering how to decorate your kitchen for Christmas or where you can find some adorable Christmas kitchen decor, we’ve got you covered.

1. Christmas Kitchen Tea Towels

We love buying kitchen tea towels for every season. There are so many cute patterns to choose from for the holidays. Fold and drape them over your oven handle, dishwasher handle or on a kitchen hook.

2. Holiday Cookie Jars

We can’t help ourselves when it comes to holiday cookie jars. It reminds us of our grandpa and how we would snag a cookie from the cookie jar every evening during the holidays. There’s just something so nostalgic and sweet about them. 

We love placing our cute Santa cookie jar on our counter every year and filling it with Christmas candy or homemade Christmas cookies.

3. Christmas Mugs

It’s hard for us to go anywhere this time of year and not buy a cute Christmas mug at some of our favorite stores and local boutiques. They just make the experience of drinking a hot cocoa, gingerbread latte or hot tea so much more enjoyable and festive.

7. Christmas Lights

For the past 25+ years our mom has hung the same chili pepper lights in her kitchen for Christmas. She’s passed on the tradition to us, because we never want to decorate our kitchen without them. Whether you hang chili pepper lights across your cabinets or choose a globe Christmas light, either one will make your space feel extra cozy.

This time of year we swap out our fall cookbooks with ones that are holiday-inspired. We love using cookbooks as practical home decor on our countertops. Plus, it makes them easier to access when we need them.
