For retailers in the Southern Hemisphere, sourcing for Christmas has always been a challenge. While the rest of the world demands snowflakes and heavy sweaters, your customers in Australia and New Zealand are celebrating on the beach.
As we look towards the 2026 holiday season, a major shift is happening. The demand for Summer Christmas decorations is skyrocketing. Consumers are moving away from winter-heavy themes and looking for decor that matches their sunny reality.
Why the “Tropical Christmas” Trend is Winning Instead of fighting the heat, embrace it. The hottest trends for the upcoming season include:
-
Alternative Mascots: Replace the reindeer with Flamingos and Geese dressed in light festive accessories.
Tropical Christmas mascot decorations featuring flamingo and goose characters -
Vibrant Color Palettes: Think bright pinks, ocean blues, and sunny yellows instead of dark forest greens.
Bright color palette summer Christmas decorations in pink blue and yellow -
Lightweight Materials: Textile and plush ornaments that feel breezy and fun, rather than heavy ceramics.
