There’s truly no place like home for the holidays. Whether you’re creating a beautiful tablescape, selecting the perfect tree to decorate or planning a cozy night of hot cocoa by the fire, Target has everything you need to set the stage for some amazing holiday memories with those you love. Think more than 2,000 new only-at-Target gems, from seriously cute Santa mugs and elevated dinnerware and décor to personalized gifts, all at an unbelieve value (more than half of our décor is under $10).

“Home is at the heart of so many amazing holiday traditions for our guests—it’s a festive, inviting place where family and friends can gather to celebrate the season,” says Jill Sando, senior vice president, merchandising, Target. “Whatever their style—be it modern, farmhouse, classic or eclectic—our only-at-Target brands offer more aesthetics than ever to help our guests bring their holiday visions to life. Decking the halls has never been so stylish, effortless and affordable.”

Here’s what’s in store at Target this season…From the hearth
Elegant dinnerware, faux greenery and beautiful modern farmhouse-inspired details, oh my! Our latest Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection might be the best yet (and that’s saying a lot—we’re now a year in to this fan-favorite exclusive collaboration with Chip and Joanna Gaines, and the pieces just get better and better). Just in time for the holidays, we’re serving up special details like greenery-embellished napkin rings and even more gifting options for the entire family, from an adorable new dollhouse to a fresh take on the classic rocking horse—a rocking goat (it’s Jo’s favorite).

Comfort & joy
And we’ve got tons of other incredible only-at-Target finds, too, from Threshold and Project 62 to Opalhouse, all wrapped in the season’s hottest trends. Take a look: A white fireplace is decked in greenery and reindeer figures. A tree, couch and chair with festive throw pillows and a log holder are also shown. Get cozy with this modern-meets-classic red and green palate. Simple stripes and plaids layer with wood and ceramic touches for an effortless, casual vibe with a dose of holiday cheer. Our favorite pieces include the Threshold reversible placemat and reindeer pillow and the Project 62 log holder (we can already hear the flames crackling in the fireplace).

Two small dogs lounge in a colorful scene, including blue couch with festive throw pillows, a decorated tree and rug. For a super-festive feel, let color, soft textures and globally-inspired details shine bright. Opalhouse toss pillows, candle holders and floral wreaths create a fun-yet-sophisticated look.

A blue and cream throw pillow featuring rustic animals sits atop a pile of cozy throws. Or play with patterns, including rustic scenes and soft colors (hello snowy whites, frosty sage and dusty blues) inspired by winter terrain. Sherpa and rich velvet add a luxe, charming touch. We’re loving the Project 62 sherpa rocking chair and Threshold woodland toss pillow.

(Pssst.. those gorgeous prints? Target’s design team created them, drawing on inspiration from the streets of Amsterdam and Paris, vintage postcards and more. It’s one more way we’re bringing an extra-special touch to your home this season.)

Wonders never cease
Speaking of special details… Wondershop (Target’s festive in-store and online destination for holiday must-haves) is back, and brimming with holiday cheer. Think beautiful trim, oh-so-cute ornaments for $3 or less (we’re introducing stylish new options for just $1), family jammies, sweet treats and so much more.

We have a few more hacks to help you wrap your holiday list (and presents!), fast. First up: A fresh twist for choosing and trimming the tree. Just pop open the Target app and use “See It in Your Space” to virtually see a variety of 3-D trees in your own living room. (No more crossing your fingers that a 10-foot fir will actually fit.) And once you’ve found the perfect pine, check out our Wondershop tree decorating kits (available in five festive trends) on Target.com. With just one click, a stylish box filled with everything you need to decorate your tree—from the tree skirt to the topper and all the ornaments in between—will be delivered right to your door.

And the presents under that tree need to look just as great, so boutique stationer Sugar Paper is back with a luxe line of exclusive giftwrap, trim and, for the first time, entertaining fare like table runners, votive candles and napkin rings. How’s that for simple holiday prep?
