Christmas Trends 2025. A Gothic Twist on Christmas 2025

CHRISTMAS TRENDS 2025. A GOTHIC TWIST ON CHRISTMAS 2025

Out of all the things in life, Christmas is definitely one I have a lot of experience with. I’ve been dressing Christmas displays and creating festive experiences since I was 17. For those of you trying to do the maths, that's 42 Christmas’ that I’ve worked on, so I’ve earned my stripes!!

Based on what our clients are requesting, there seems to be a very exciting twist to a traditional Christmas…

This year, I’ve seen Christmas stepping into something darker, mysterious and pretty enchanting with Gothic-inspired styling taking centre stage!

Imagine Wednesday Addams meets festive magic: rich jewel tones, oversized bows, dramatic baubles and vintage-style wreaths. Add velvet textures, glass and beading, and you will end up with a bold, elegant and unexpected atmosphere.

Nature will still play a big part, but with a fairytale edge - woodland animals and mystical creatures set against moody backdrops in black, wine red and forest green. Layer in a touch of disco shimmer and you will have a Christmas that feels glamorous, atmospheric, and full of character.

Nostalgia and bold colour palettes are a plenty, with retro and playful elements bringing warmth to any event and vibrant and unexpected colour combinations shaking up traditional Christmas décor.

At Partridge Events, we love taking the latest trends and translating them into unforgettable festive experiences—whether that’s a corporate Christmas party, a private celebration, or a full-scale venue transformation.
