Christmas Theme 2026 - Polar White

By Robin • 01 September 2026 • 4 minutes

With Polar White as your Christmas theme, you combine the magic of a snow-covered winter landscape with the cosiness of a snug world indoors. Outside there's adventure, inside it's warm. After an afternoon out in the freezing cold, you warm up with a steaming mug of hot chocolate by the fire. It's exactly that combination that makes this theme so special and magical.

Polar White is inspired by life around a wintry mountain hut. The colour palette tells the story: winter white and smoky pearl as the base, caramel brown for warmth, dawn blue and midnight blue for the wintry sky outside, and silver for the sparkle of ice and snow. The collection is full of soft decorations, such as felt mice in winter outfits, snowflakes and glass icicles. These are combined with touches of humour: think mice on skis, proper snow boots and sledging Santas.

Decorating tips for a snowy winter wonderland

Polar White calls for a different approach from most Christmas themes. No red and gold, but ice, plush and the quiet magic of a snowy morning. The trick is to mix soft and rugged elements: a fluffy fabric snowball next to a little wooden Christmas tree, or white cushions in a sturdy wicker basket. That mix is what gives the theme its character.

Love an exuberant tree? Use the baubles in dawn blue and smoky pearl as your base and add silver accents. Lay a large white (snow) blanket around the foot of the tree. Hang the little snow fox or snowy owl in a prominent spot, because the polar animals are the stars of this theme. A snowflake or a soft teddy-fabric star as a tree topper completes the look.

Prefer a calmer look? Then build up your tree in just winter white and silver, and add a few ice crystals for a subtle twinkle. Simplicity works beautifully with this theme, as if the tree itself has just been dusted with a fresh layer of snow.

Our recommendations for giving your home a Polar White feel

  • Entrance and front door: Hang a wreath of snowy pine greenery on the door and add one of the polar animals as a finishing detail. Instant wintry mountain atmosphere the moment you step inside.

  • Living room: Use a large white vase as a focal point in your living room. Fill it with Christmas branches with white details and snow-covered pine cones. Hang a few icicles from the branches to create sparkle and an icy effect. It's a subtle way to bring this theme into your home. 

  • Christmas tree: Deliberately hang the winter sports figures low in the tree, so you can see them clearly. Group the polar animals in another part of the tree, so you get little stories in several places. The baubles in dawn blue and smoky pearl fill the rest of the tree, and a string of warm white lights adds the glisten of frozen snow. You can enhance this by setting your lights to a gentle twinkle.

  • Dining table: Keep it simple: a runner in winter white and white electric candles. Place a few large Goodwill ice angels in between and you have a serene, wintry Christmas table. No busy table decorations, but a calm and stylish whole that suits the mood of this theme.
