Candy canes are undoubtedly one of the most popular symbols when it comes the Christmas festivities. It’s not just the striking and easily recognised red and white stripes, but their iconic sweet peppermint taste too. Inspired by the joy of candy canes, childhood Christmas memories and retro-style candy stores, we’ve created the Peppermint Candy Christmas collection.
Like any good Christmas celebration, a Peppermint Candy Christmas is overflowing with plenty of sweet treats, like cupcakes and lollipops (and candy canes of course!). “The more the merrier!”, we say. This collection is definitely one for those who have a sweet tooth and love lots of colour and fun in their Christmas decorating.
We’ve taken a modern twist on the traditional red and white, adding the soft sweetness of pink and mint. And then we upped the whimsical, with the use of oversized décor elements including snowflakes and candy ornaments, alongside all your Christmas favourites. There’s cheeky elves, gingerbread men, snowmen and Santa surrounded by plenty of beautiful baubles, gorgeous florals and colourful ribbons too.
This is definitely child-friendly collection, not only for the fun-filled theme but there’s lots of felt, shatterproof baubles and bright fun colours. Mixed with the hint of retro nostalgia, there really is something for everyone to love about a Peppermint Candy Christmas.
There are endless options when it comes to creating and styling your own Peppermint Candy Christmas. Whether you want to lean towards the traditional – opting for more focus on the classic candy-stripe of red-and-white with hints of green – or perhaps embracing a more whimsical feel and incorporating the pastel tones of mint and pink.
So, let’s dive in and check out the Peppermint Candy Christmas.
One, Two, Tree!
If you really, really love your Christmas decorating and are partial to having more than one tree, this collection has plenty of inspiration for one, or two, or three! A Peppermint Candy Christmas tree is perfect as your main feature tree, or perhaps for a young child’s room or playroom, or both!
We have so many gorgeous tree decorations for this collection that we simply couldn’t fit them on one tree. The key here is to balance the frivolity of the décor with rich velvet textures, to keep it fun but not tacky.
Sweet Indulgence!
Of course, a key feature of a Peppermint Candy Christmas tree is the peppermint and the candy. Amp up the fun with whimsical-yet-luxurious velvet tree decorations featuring all of your favourite sweet treats.
Just like a candy store, there’s lollipops of all colours and sizes with various combinations across our chosen colour palette – traditional red and white, mint and white, pink and white and some green in there too. Some of the lollipops are tree decorations that can easily be hung from your tree and others are Christmas tree picks to really add some dimension to your creation.
If your sweet tooth isn’t quite satisfied with lovely lollipops, or maybe you are looking for something a little less traditional, don’t worry, there’s much more sweetness to be had. Ice creams, cupcakes, slices of cake and glittering macarons all combine to add even more colour and fun to the Peppermint Candy Christmas tree.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without candy canes – bold and bright and beautiful. Perhaps your favourite indulgence is not so sweet, but a little more bubbly instead…we’ve got that covered too. Cheers!
Decorate with Beautiful, Bold Baubles
A Peppermint Candy Christmas tree is not just about sweets. There’s so many gorgeous decorative baubles and baubles sets that you can choose to easily add more colour and interest to your tree.
We love the bold red, white and green colours and the variety of patterns work so well together with the patterns and swirls of the candy canes and lollipops. And we always love a little (or a lot!) of glitter and sparkle!
Compliment your bright and fun tree decorations with a selection of sparkling snowflakes, a cheerful snowman, and a letter to Santa.
Large Personalised Shatterproof Baubles are just the thing to really make this Christmas tree special for your family. Acrylic baubles are a great choice for households with kids and the red glitter calligraphy on a silver or pink bauble really makes the names stand out.
Add even more bright colour, and spread a joyful Christmas message, with confetti Christmas bauble set.
For our two white trees, we’ve leaned on lighter colours of pink and mint to create a warm, retro charm – which really make the red and white stripes of a candy cane pop.
We are absolutely in love with these adorable parachute hanging tree decorations. You can choose from Santa, Snowman or Reindeer. Or combine sweet treats with your favourite Christmas characters in these absolutely gorgeous character cupcake decorations.
The kids, and big kids too, are sure to have a great time spotting all the fun pieces sprinkled throughout these stunning trees.

Take Your Pick
To add even more dimension and really bring the tree alive, the trick is to use shapely Christmas tree picks in a range of colours, with a mix of texture and glitter.
Sparkling starbursts, glittery curls and frosted balls make for a wonderful combination that is just bursting with festive fun and cheer.
Candy cane inspired picks in a variety of colour combinations are a great way to add plenty of dimension all over the tree. With lots of texture options too, such as glitter, velvet and chenille they can be as subtle or as show-stopping as you like.
Curly ribbon picks are another fantastic way to instantly add an additional element of interest to your tree and as an added bonus, they are so simple to use.
In Full Bloom
In addition to sprays and picks, one of the most impactful ways to bring life to the tree is through the use of gorgeous Christmas flowers.
For maximum texture and interest, we’ve combined flowers in a selection of different materials and finishes including velvet, glitter, sequins and snowy, frosted edges.
Whether you’re channeling the traditional palette of red, white and green, or exploring the pastel twist, there’s a huge assortment of beautiful Christmas flowers to enhance your Peppermint Candy Christmas tree.
Choose popular Christmas florals such as poinsettias and holly, and display them alongside lilies and flowers of many other shapes and sizes.

Up the Top
The largest of our trees (in the centre below) is topped with tons of picks and sprays, snowflakes and bows, with a cute gingerbread character nestled among all the fun.
For the smaller white trees we also used a selection of brightly coloured picks, sprays and ribbons in a range of of lovely textures and finishes to create lots of height and dimension atop our trees. We just love the hints of mint and pink against the bold red.
All Tied Up with Ribbons and Bows
Add the finishing touches to your tree with wired tree garlands and beautiful bows. Ribbons create a beautifully soft and billowy effect that offsets the boldness and complexity of the other pieces.
Bring it all together down below by using the same ribbons, bows and tree decorations that you have featured in your tree, to adorn your gorgeously wrapped gifts in coordinated colours of red, white and pink.
Gorgeous Gifting
There are lots of options to choose from if you are looking for cute Personalised Santa Sacks and tote bags to match your Peppermint Candy Christmas decorating theme.
Fun, bright, and ready to be filled – there will be no fighting over whose present is whose, as they can all be personalised with a gorgeous linen tag and tied up with classic red & white stripe ribbon. Our Santa Sack tags are finished with our unique glitter hand calligraphy in the colour of your choice.

Magnificent Mantle
Once you’ve got your tree (or trees!) all set up, it’s time to move on to the mantle. Similar to what happened when it came to decorating the trees, we had so many amazing ideas and options for decorating the Peppermint Candy Christmas mantle, that we couldn’t manage to settle on just one!
All Hung Up
If you love the tradition of hanging a wreath over the mantle, we’ve got just the thing.
We have a limited number of absolutely stunning custom made Christmas wreaths to compliment a range of Christmas decorating styles available to buy on our website. And yes, there are some just like this one! Or if you love getting creative with some Christmas crafting, you can fire up the glue gun and make one yourself! We just adore with the new range of wreath signs that we have created and released for the first time this year. They are an easy way for you to take your DIY wreath to the next level.
A simple way to quickly and easily add instant festive impact to the wall above your mantle (or any wall for that matter) is with a framed Christmas printable. Simply download our Peppermint Candy Christmas Free Download and pop it in a frame to recreate all the warmth and charm of an old-style lolly shop in your home. Voila!
Of course, the wall isn’t the only place to hang things when you’re decorating a mantle. If you are lucky enough to have a mantle at your place then you’ll know all to well the joy of hanging the stockings at Christmastime.
For a more traditional look, you can go with the Classic Red and White Stripe Stocking with Red Pom Poms, or for something a bit fresh and retro-inspired, opt for the Peppermint Candy Pink and Mint Velvet Stockings which are trimmed with Pom Poms, Braids and Snowflakes. Our personalised stockings are completed with our unique style of glitter hand calligraphy in your choice of colours.
You’ll need something to hang them from too. These hollow chrome reindeer and tree stocking holders are perfect for a Peppermint Candy Christmas Mantle.

Ribbons and bows and flowers, oh my!
Next, we’ve filled the mantlepiece with plenty of gorgeous ribbons and bows, flowers and picks, as well as giant snowflakes too.
These form the ideal base for a wide array of colourful and decorative baubles and décor trinkets that will be loved by kids and kids at heart.
To give even more dimension and height to the whole area, we added giant snowflakes, and even Santa, to the wall.
One of my favourite new pieces is our Winking Santa Wall Hanging – this is a keepsake to be passed down the generations.
A bright, fun and festive decorating theme isn’t complete without lots of cute and fun figurines and ornaments. I had so much fun creating this little arrangement of a Chef Elf sitting atop a faux cake. It was created from a pink velvet gift box and then adding ribbon and lace trimmings and finally some of our sweet tree decorations added to complete the scene.
Sweet standing ornaments including elves, fairies and gingerbreads all dressed up for Christmas look right at home nestled under the mantle and guarding the gifts.

Come to the Table
The other key area to decorate for any Christmas theme is the dining table. For the Peppermint Candy Christmas table, we’ve brought to life what we imagine a tea party with Santa Claus would look like.
First, let’s put together the place settings with some red and white table décor. A red scalloped charger sets a stylish base for your dinner plate. The bold red looks great in this collection but the simple and classic style means that this piece would easily transition to other Christmas decorating styles too.
Each plate is topped with a Red and Mint Green Glitter Lollipop Christmas Pick on top of a crisp white folded napkin. Each lollipop has a personalised place card attached to make everyone at the table feel welcome. Finish off your place settings with Festive Striped Santa and Reindeer Bon Bons, in alternating colours of red and green, and get the party off with a bang!
For the tablescape, we’ve laid a red and white bauble garland winding through the middle of the table. Fill the remaining space with a selection of festive and fun cake stands topped with sweet faux cake slices and macaron tree decorations, and some yummy home baked cookies too!
Spread Merry Christmas cheer and smiles with a Merry Christmas metal sign. This one is a perfect size for the table, and is so versatile it could be used in many different vignettes around your home.
Clusters of red and silver table top trees are placed amongst a selection of gorgeous classic Christmas ornaments including Santa in a Gingerbread Sleigh and Santa in a Gingerbread Train.
Tree decorations make for great table décor pieces too. You can never have enough cute Christmas characters at a tea party with Santa, so be sure to include a sprinkling of gingerbread men and cupcakes with reindeer, snowman and Santa on your cake stands and through your tablescape.
Peppermint Candy Christmas Craft Ideas
There’s so many fun things that you can create yourself as part of the Peppermint Candy Christmas theme. We’ve already mentioned DIY wreaths and the elf and cake.
A gingerbread house is another fun piece that suits this theme to a tee. You might want to get busy in the kitchen and bake some delicious gingerbread to decorate and enjoy later. Or perhaps you like the look of a gingerbread house but don’t fancy baking, or want a piece that is a little more sturdy and long-lasting.
With a clever hack of a wooden bird house, we created this gorgeous gingerbread house to add to our the collection. There are so many possible variations to create and decorate your faux gingerbread house. And you don’t have to stop at just one! Great a whole gingerbread village and be sure to add some bright and fun Christmas characters tree decorations too.
