What Are the Best Christmas Flowers for Your Home?
You do not need complicated arrangements to make a big impact. Stick to these classic, long-lasting choices:
- Amaryllis: These tall, bold flowers look amazing on their own in a simple glass vase. They instantly add height and elegance to a room.
- Red and White Roses: Roses bring a traditional, classic holiday feel. Mix them with some green pine branches for a perfect Christmas look.
- Poinsettias: The ultimate holiday plant. Their bright red leaves are perfect for entryways or corners that need a pop of festive color.
Where to Place Flowers for the Best Look
The trick to decorating with flowers is putting them in spots where they stand out but do not get in the way.
The Living Room Coffee Table
Your living room is where you will spend the most time relaxing. Use a low, wide vase for the coffee table. This keeps the flowers from blocking the view when you are watching a holiday movie or talking with family.
The Hallway or Entryway
Make a great first impression. A tall vase of flowers on a hallway table welcomes guests as soon as they walk through the door. If you order from a reliable online flower company, you can easily have fresh blooms arrive right before you host a holiday party.
The Dining Table Centerpiece
Keep it simple. You want plenty of room for the food. Place a few small, clear glasses down the center of the table and put one or two stems in each glass. It looks modern, beautiful, and leaves plenty of space for your Christmas dinner.

Winter can be tough on cut flowers because we turn up the heating inside our homes. To make sure your fresh Christmas flowers last as long as possible, follow these simple steps:
- Keep them away from heat: Never place your flower vase right next to a radiator, fireplace, or space heater. The direct heat will dry them out quickly.
- Change the water often: Empty the vase and add fresh, cold water every two days.
- Trim the stems: Every time you change the water, cut about an inch off the bottom of the stems at an angle. This helps the flowers drink more water.
- Remove dead leaves: If any leaves fall into the water, take them out immediately to keep the water clean.
Decorating your home for Christmas does not have to be difficult or expensive. A few well-placed fresh flowers will instantly lift your holiday spirits and make your home feel ready for the season.
