Since its 2011 release, Justin Bieber's 'Mistletoe' has been the ultimate soundtrack to the holidays for many, myself included. Beyond its undeniably catchy jingle bell beat, the song captures the true spirit of this winter season: slowing down and spending time with loved ones. Bieber's Christmas decor mirrors this same heartfelt attitude.
In a recent time-lapse Instagram video posted to his page, we got a festive glimpse into how Justin and his wife, Hailey, decorate their tree, revealing a treasure trove of traditional Christmas decor ideas.
From stringing the lights first to crowning the top with a shining star, it's the quintessential holiday centerpiece. The close-up on the second slide shows a tree rich with sentimental ornaments: glass-blown hot dogs, raccoons, snowmen, needle-felted dogs, and candy canes. Clearly, this is a collection of cherished memories the couple has gathered throughout their years together.

Embracing sentimentality in your Christmas tree is a wonderful way to use decor to boost your mood as the nights grow longer and colder.
Anna Jones, interior designer at Furn, notes: 'Handmade ornaments, family heirlooms, or even personalized decorations will naturally evoke feelings of nostalgia. Each year, as you unpack these decorations, they will help to bring back fond memories, bringing a sense of warmth and joy to your space. If it feels cosy, like you want to wrap yourself up in the contents of the room, then you’re definitely on the right track to joy-drenching.'
Furthermore, Bieber's classic Christmas tree theme aligns perfectly with current interior design trends, making it a stylish choice for those who heed popular decor movements this festive season. '56% of decorators are planning to incorporate vintage elements into their homes this holiday season. This signals that the timeless appeal of mid-century style is back in a big way,' says Mike Brown, Head of Design at Scandinavian Designs.
He recommends: 'It’s about mixing nostalgia with a contemporary edge. The iconic 80s vibe: organic, modern, and undeniably cool, is perfect for the holidays since it is both cozy and chic. It emphasizes earthy tones, wood, stone, and plush textiles, which evoke a sense of cozy sophistication and a connection to nature.' This natural, grounding element is reflected in the wood and curved furniture of Bieber's living room. It’s a powerful reminder that harmonizing your tree decor with your room’s overall design can have a stunning impact.
Designing your tree based on your personal style, informed by your memories and family history, ensures you create holiday decor that will never fade from beauty as the years and seasons pass.
