Decorating your home with Christmas ornaments is always fun. There is so much you can do to make your fireplace Christmassy. So much so that sometimes, it might be hard to know where to start.

Aside from the usual stockings, trees, and wreaths, below is a list of a few more Christmas fireplace decoration favourites:

Christmas Lights

Christmas lights are a must in any Christmas decoration. The fireplace already lights up from the warm fire that glows from it. But, adding sparkly and colourful lights that twinkle to the beat of your Christmas music will make the room brighter and merrier.

Santa Figures

Santa Claus figures are always a firm and traditional favourite sure to bring a festive smile and a reminder of who might be coming down the chimney in the not too distant future!

Nutcracker Figures

Another Christmas character that you can display around your fireplace is the Nutcracker. 

There are plenty of indoor Nutcracker figures to choose from and they come in various designs and sizes. You can choose figures that fit the colour scheme of the rest of your Christmas decorations. 

Of course, choose ones that are sturdy and well-crafted. You will be placing them near the fire, so they should be fire retardant.

Lighted Reindeer Figures

Choose from Santa's reindeers and display them near your fireplace for added flair. Of course, you can add them all if you want! When else would you see these winter creatures huddled together in a warm atmosphere like your living room? 

There are plenty of quality indoor reindeer figures that have LED lights that would look great around your fireplace. Be sure to check the specifications on the products to ensure that they can be displayed in your fireplace.

Christmas Garlands

A classic fireplace decoration includes beautiful garlands running around your fireplace and its mantlepiece. It's such a welcoming sight for visitors, and for Santa too, when he comes down your chimney on Christmas Eve.

To make things more interesting, you can choose Christmas garlands with LED lights. You can control your room's look and feel by choosing different LED colours for your garland display. You can choose warm colours, or multicoloured lights, or bright and blue colours.
