These welcoming Christmas decorations set the tone and mood for the holiday season. Whether you're looking for the best fresh Christmas wreaths or artificial Christmas wreaths with modern charm, there's a wreath out there waiting for you. This collection of the best Christmas wreaths includes picks featuring different decorating styles, fun colors, and of course, some traditional favorites. After considering the personality of your Christmas decor, take a look at the following wreaths and pick one that's complementary. ## Tips for Choosing the Best Christmas Wreaths Whether you're looking for the real deal or a faux Christmas wreath, there are a few things to keep in mind. One of the most important considerations is the size, which determines where the wreath will hang. For a standard 36-inch front door, a 22- to 24-inch wreath leaves around 6 inches of clearance on either side. That allows the door to open and close without getting obstructed. These wreaths traditionally hang with the top of the wreath about 14 inches from the top of the door. Wreaths smaller than 22 inches can still work on a standard door, but their size may be more noticeable. These smaller wreaths may look better hanging in a 24-inch window, on a wall, or an interior door. Another option is to hang several of them together to create a wreath display. Wreaths larger than 24 inches can hang on an oversize door or above a mantel in a large great room. Large 4- or 5-foot-wide wreaths are meant for two-story entryways or great rooms where their size fits the scale of the room. - If hanging a wreath on a door, leave a few inches of clearance on either side of the wreath so the door can be easily opened and closed. - Live wreaths have a beauty that can't be rivaled, but they require regular watering, just like a houseplant. - Check whether the wreath is approved for indoor or outdoor use (or both). Some may not have the durability to withstand outdoor humidity, precipitation, or extreme temperatures. - Battery-operated lights with a remote control can be turned off and on without taking the wreath down. - Look for a wreath that complements the style and colors of the rest of your holiday decorations. - Door hangers are usually sold separately, but some wreaths come with one. - Heavy wreaths may require a wall anchor to keep them stable. ## Our Verdict The National Tree Company Pre-lit Christmas Wreath got the top spot for its traditional style and overwhelming popularity among reviewers. It blends with a wide range of styles and themes, too. For those decorating on a grand scale and who are ready to add their own touch to the wreath, we recommend the Best Choice Products 48in Pre-Lit Christmas Wreath. This wreath naturally draws attention to itself with its size. With the right additions, it can be a stunner. ## How We Chose the Best Christmas Wreaths These wreaths were chosen based on the number and quality of their reviews and the quality of their construction and materials. We looked into the brands and the kind (and quality) of the products they generally produce. While no one wreath was overwhelmingly sought out over the others, certain brands and wreaths rose to the top for their design, quality, and popularity. Size and style also factored into the picks. We wanted to represent different styles and tastes, including those who'd prefer to decorate their own wreath. Our search took us through more than 50 wreaths, though not quite that many brands. Certain brands definitely dominate in the Christmas wreath industry. ## FAQs Still not sure what kind of wreath you want or what size to get? No worries. Beyond size and style, there's a lot to keep in mind. This next section answers some of the most common questions to guide your search for the best wreaths. ### Q. How do you hang Christmas wreaths on windows? One method is to tie a ribbon around the wreath, open the window, and then put the other end of the ribbon in the window before closing it. Once the window is closed, tie a knot at the end of the ribbon to hold the wreath in place. ### Q. How do you store Christmas wreaths? You can buy a Christmas wreath box or case to hold wreaths. A moving box that's large enough can also work if the wreath can fit inside without getting squashed. It's often easiest to store several wreaths on top of each other in the box. Another option is to hang the wreaths over a hanger, then put a garbage bag over the hanger and wreath before hanging it in a storage closet. ### Q. How do you put decorations on a Christmas wreath? If the wreath won't move (like if it's hung on a wall or window, not a door), you can use the ornament's hook. For a wreath that may get jostled, use wire that's the same color as the wreath to securely attach the ornaments. ### Q. Do Christmas wreaths need water? Live wreaths do need water. They need watering about as often as an indoor houseplant. ### Q. Can you recycle Christmas wreaths? Live wreaths can be composted with yard waste, just like a Christmas tree. If you have an artificial wreath that's on its last leg, you could refashion it for a different holiday or remove the branches and reuse the wreath form for a new project. ## Author Stacey L.
