The Most Outrageous Holiday Décor of 2021 and Where To Buy It

Though there’s cause for concern over the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, Americans are eager to eat, drink and be merry this season, with spending on holiday festivities on the rise. According to the National Retail Federation, consumers intend to spend 8.5% to 10.5% more this year than they did in 2020, shelling out a total of between $843.4 and $859 billion.

You have a selection of colors to choose from: Black, Champagne, Silver, White, Lime and Green. You also have a few different sizes: the 9′ selection is the one priced at over a grand; but you can save an abundance of cash if you go for the 7.5′ footer for $478. Relative to those price-tags, the 5.5′ option is a downright steal at $186. Buyers can also select from a variety of lighting styles.

Most Americans head to Christmas tree farms and repurposed parking lots to scoop up their Christmas tree, but you know what Bergdorf Goodman might say to that? “Boring!” The luxury retailer who filed for bankruptcy in May is selling the 12″ Pre-Decorated Tree With LED Lights by Barcana for $8,750, plus $250 shipping.
