The 'timeless' label is one that can often feel overused, but in the case of some decorations, it's justified. Take the classic Christmas stocking, for example. An archival photo of Kris Jenner exhibits stockings in a traditonal red, white, and green color palette, and despite being decades old, they'd look just as perfect on a fireplace in 2025.
When looking for Christmas decor ideas that will impress every year, opting for a traditional color combination (as seen on these stockings) will never fail. As fun as holiday trends can be, there's something to be said for those pieces that you'll always love reintroducing to your living room, and these stockings prove some pieces can define your decor for decades.
If you're looking to follow Kris's example, this stocking (available at Target) comes from Magnolia's Hearth & Hand collection, and it's utterly timeless. Similarly, this gingham piece (also from Target) is a beautiful option for those inspired by Kris's checkered stocking.
