27 Target Holiday Decor Must-Haves for 2023

December holidays always sneak up on us, even though we know they’re coming. But when we see Target holiday decor hit the shelves, that’s we know it’s for real. And that we once again forgot to budget for gifts.

We trust Target to provide our holiday cheer, and 2023 is no different. From retro Christmas tree ornaments, to cozy holiday pillows and blankets, to fun Hanukkah baking gear, you’ll be holly and jolly in no time.

Mostly because no matter which holiday you celebrate, we’re pretty sure it involves large volumes of delicious food and pretty decor. What’s not to like about that?

The Best Target Holiday Decor for 2023

1. Wooden Gingerbread House Countdown Clock, $10

This cute countdown to the big day would be fun to use in conjunction with an advent calendar. One just adds something to your to-do list while the other adds something edible to your to-do list. We might be talking ourselves out of this.
Available at Target

2. Santa Mug, $5

Jolly Santa is perfect for your morning cup of coffee, but we’d reserve him for that extra satisfying mug of hot cocoa we guzzle after shoveling snow. Sure, technically we paid a neighbor kid to do the work, but we deserve cocoa anyway.
Available at Target

3. Holiday Food Storage, $6

We love these glass food storage containers decorated with Christmas trees and vintage snowflakes. When we inevitably lose the lids, they work well as bowls, too.
Available at Target

4. Christmas Tree Platter, $3

This appetizer plate is BPA-free and dishwasher safe, which is more than we can say for a lot of novelty holiday kitchenware. Finding tree-shaped food may be more difficult.

5. Merry Christmas Spatula, $2

This is a steal, considering how durable these are. We still use one from a previous Target collection from a decade ago. Yeah we know, we need to “learn to let things go.”

6. Meowy Christmas Mug, $5

This 16 oz. mug is both dishwasher and microwave safe, and it has a cat on it. Did you hear us? It has a cat on it. Sold.

7. Snowman Mug, $5

We’re not sure it’s a good idea for this snowman‘s job to be keeping your holiday beverage hot. Has no one else seen Frosty the Snowman?

8. Noche de Paz Mug, $5

“Noche de Paz” is Spanish for “Silent Night.” Or Christmas Eve before you have kids.
Available at Target

9. Sleek Black Flocked Deer, $5

Finally, Target realized that goths love Christmas, too. This flocked black reindeer with gold antlers will look right at home next to your Black Phillip display.
Available at Target

10. Polar Bear Sheets, $30

This cotton sateen sheet set will keep you cozy all winter long. It even includes a top sheet—you animals who don’t use top sheets can feel free to set it aside. But just because there are bears on them doesn’t mean you should act like one.
Available at Target

11. Letter to Santa Claus Pillow, $10

This pillow reminds us of that time we wrote to Santa saying that we didn’t need any presents Um, we lied, sir.
Available at Target

12. Gingerbread Bird, $5

What kind of bird is it even supposed to be? The description says, “small white bird with brown beak,” but as avid bird watchers, we know that’s not a species. We’re so fun at parties.
Available at Target

13. Father Christmas Bird, $5

It’s a little green bird dressed as Santa. With a mustache. Under its beak. We are building an avian holiday army.
Available at Target

14. Retro Christmas Tree Ornament, $5

This is a perfect little vintage ceramic tree, and the tiny lights even turn on. Plus, we love how meta hanging a tree on a tree is. Now we need ear-shaped earrings.

15. Retro Christmas Tree Deer Ornament, $5

This little retro pink deer is a reminder that all trends come back around eventually. So save those jorts for one more season.

16. Gold Bar Cart, $150

Imagine how fab you will look, decked out in your holiday-themed PJs, directing guests to this golden cart stocked with boozy brunch beverages. Spilling some on the floor after is just a rite of passage.

17. Christmas Plush Blanket, $15

You can’t have too many cozy throw blankets, especially if you’re hosting for the holidays and your cousin just grabbed your favorite one.

18. Santa in Wheelchair Christmas Ornament, $3

Santa is here with a gift for you, so you’d better have remembered his milk and cookies.
Available at Target

19. Red Snowflake Christmas Doormat, $13

If your guests wear big black boots and stomp around in snow, ask them to wipe their feet before coming in. And maybe rethink your white carpeting.
Available at Target

20. Christmas Tree Soap Pump, $5

This tree soap pump is perfect for studio apartment dwellers who can’t fit any other tree in their homes. Go ahead, pile the presents around it on the sink. It sounded better in our heads.

21. Polar Bear Toilet Lid Christmas Cover Set, $15

We love this in a hilarious, so-camp-it’s-mandatory kind of way. Also, if you miss the mark, you’re doing the laundry.

If little ones are being too grabby with lit candles, let them use these glittery plush options. If only everything also came in a plush version.

What else do you need to know? They’re chocolate and delicious. Next.
