Marks & Spencer covertly unveiled their Christmas retail space, and a dozen whimsical holiday ornaments have been swiftly flying off the shelves

In the heart of the holiday season, M&S has unveiled its Christmas Shop for 2025, offering a dazzling array of decorations that promise to bring a playful, vibrant energy to the festive season.

At the helm of showcasing this year's collection is Maddie Balcombe, who joined the our platform team as Editorial Assistant in December 2024. Balcombe, a graduate of Cardiff University with a Bachelor's degree in English and Journalism, and a Master's degree in Magazine Journalism, has a keen interest in homeware and interior design that was cemented during her university days.

One of the standout decorations this year is the miniature Colin caterpillar, already the #1 best-selling decoration on the M&S site. This charming character, with its iconic red coat and striped collar, is sure to be a popular addition to any Christmas scheme.

For those seeking a classic Scandi-style Christmas look, M&S offers an adorable gingerbread man character decoration. Meanwhile, the standmixer decoration, which caught attention last year, is back with a new pastel look, adding a touch of retro charm to any Christmas display.

The M&S Christmas Shop offers a delightful mix of vibrant colors, statement decorations, and quirky characters. For instance, the tennis-style decorations, such as a red and white racquet, continue the tennis-themed decor trend. A collab with The National Gallery offers an artistic floral display in timeless shades of red, green, and gold.

For those looking to add depth and visual interest to their Christmas trees, M&S has Christmas bows in a rich red colour. The hanging sardine tin, a playful and fun decoration that taps into the fish decor trend, is another exciting addition to the collection.

A marble-look bauble, offering pastel colours and handmade charm at an affordable price, is a classic M&S Christmas decoration. Light-up Christmas candles, which were popular last year, are back in stock for this year, providing a warm and inviting ambience.

As always, M&S remains a top choice for Christmas decoration shopping. With many decorations and ornaments already flying off the shelves, it seems that this year's collection is set to be another resounding success. However, there is no information available about who designed the M&S Christmas decorations for 2025.

Before joining our platform, Balcombe has worked for various women's lifestyle magazines, bringing a wealth of experience to her new role. Her time at university, where she honed her passion for homeware and interior design, has undoubtedly played a significant role in her ability to curate this year's collection.

As the festive season approaches, the M&S Christmas Shop is the perfect destination for those seeking unique, playful, and vibrant decorations to brighten their homes and spread holiday cheer.
