Going all out on very merry decorations is part of what makes this the most joyous time of the year. Maybe that's why finding the perfect festive details — from cute and functional Christmas card holders to whimsical reusable advent calendars to, yes, stylish stocking holders — is so deeply delightful. They become part of your family holiday repertoire. When the time comes around (usually right after Thanksgiving) to bring out that box labeled "Christmas decorations" you get an instant hit of holiday cheer before you even open the lid.
To find the best stocking holders you'll enjoy for years — maybe even decades — there are a few things to consider. Before you add to cart, ask yourself these questions:
Where will I hang the stockings? We found options that work on the mantel, of course, but also on shelves, staircases, and walls. How many stocking holders do I need? Some of our picks can be purchased individually, so you get as many as you need, while others come in pairs, sets of four or more. Do these fit my decorating style? From holders with traditional charm to artsy minimalist choices to rustic handmade ones, there's something here for every preference. With that decided — it's time to shop! Find your new favorite way to hang Christmas stockings with care and style below.
