The countdown to Christmas is on at Dobbies as the garden centre unveils its highly anticipated festive decorating trends for 2025. Packed with yuletide cheer, inspiration, and everything you need to transform your home (and garden) for the season, Dobbies’ five new collections will help create a magical Christmas, in every sense.

From indoor and outdoor lighting, real and real-look trees, beautiful baubles and homewares, to houseplants, great value gifts for everyone on your list, and festive cookshop essentials, Dobbies’ themes encompass everything you need for the most wonderful time of the year.

From a nostalgic celebration of classic prints with a Scandi twist in Holly and Ivy; to the rich, jewel-toned elegance of Deck the Halls; the rustic charm of Woodland Wonder, where nature and seasonal textures come together in perfect harmony; the serene sparkle of Starry Night, inspired by frosted skies and celestial light; and the bold, joy-filled energy of It’s Christmas, where a maximalist colour palette steals the show, there’s a theme to suit every festive style and home this season.

Speaking about the new themes, Dobbies Garden Centres’ Head of Brand, Kirsty Rockey, commented: “For the festive season, Dobbies has everything people need to create a magical Christmas, in every sense. From great value decorations to inspiring style ideas, we’re here to help create the perfect Christmas setting both indoors and out.

“This year, we’re excited to introduce five key themes; Holly and Ivy, Deck the Halls, Woodland Wonder, Starry Night and It’s Christmas, each designed to bring a different kind of festive vision to life.

“Holly and Ivy is a nostalgic and playful theme that blends traditional prints with Scandi charm, perfect for creating warm family moments. Deck the Halls offers a luxurious take on the season, with rich tones and gilded accents that feel really special.

“For nature lovers, Woodland Wonder captures the transition from autumn to winter, with earthy textures and natural elements bringing the outdoors in. Starry Night sets a serene and elegant tone, inspired by frosted landscapes and shimmering celestial night skies.

“And for those who like their festivities with a side of maximalism, It’s Christmas is a bold, joyful theme that embraces festive fun with vibrant limes, pinks and playful novelty decorations.

“No matter your style, we’ve curated each theme to help customers decorate all areas of the home and garden. From doorways and patios, to dining areas, hallways and bedroom nooks, there are plenty of thoughtful ways to spread festive cheer throughout your whole home and garden in Dobbies’ 2025 Christmas collections. Not to mention the main event, the Christmas tree, of which we have plenty of real and real-look options to choose from for your festive centrepiece.”
