Christmas Stockings with Reindeer

Buy a Christmas stocking with a reindeer at The Christmas Shop

Almost the entire reindeer stocking range comes from Decoris, one of the largest Christmas brands in the Netherlands. The stockings come in two main colour palettes: warm brown and white for a cosy, woodland feel, and classic red for those who prefer the American Christmas look. The reindeer itself appears in different poses across the range, sometimes alone, sometimes with an embroidered bow at the neck, sometimes as part of a group among snowflakes.

Why a reindeer on a Christmas stocking?

The reindeer is, alongside Father Christmas, one of the most recognisable symbols of Christmas. The association comes from the sleigh of Father Christmas, drawn by nine reindeer of which Rudolph with his red nose is the best known. In older Scandinavian traditions, reindeer have long been linked to the winter and to the magic of the polar nights. The animal stands for warmth, togetherness and the quieter side of the season. On a stocking it sits as naturally as Father Christmas himself.

Which reindeer stocking suits your style?

The choice between the variants comes down to what the rest of your Christmas decor is doing. A brown stocking with an embroidered reindeer fits a natural, woodland scheme with pinecones and wooden ornaments. A red stocking with a white cuff works better with a traditional red and green Christmas tree or an American-style mantelpiece. Still weighing up the options?

Pairing reindeer stockings with the rest of the mantel

A row of stockings hung side by side usually looks better than a single one on its own. Pair the reindeer stockings with stockings featuring Father Christmas and stockings with a snowman for a complete festive line-up above the fireplace. For those who'd like more woodland creatures around the house, our animal Christmas ornaments collection also features reindeer for the tree.
