    Buying Reproduction Vintage Christmas Decorations

    Find reproduction vintage Christmas decorations at the big chain stores. No need to spend all your time scouring estate sales anymore to get the nostalgic vintage inspired Christmas look! Score!

    Updated For 2022 Holiday Season

    The jig is up. We're mainstream now. The whole world knows how cool vintage Christmas decor is.

    As I was running around town trying to find matching Christmas jammies for the family, I noticed that stores are carrying more and more reproduction vintage Christmas decorations this year.

    Sure, it's fun to buy the real vintage stuff out in the wild, but that can get pretty darn expensive. Plus it's hard to find this time of the year.

    Your guide to finding reproduction vintage Christmas decorations at the big chain stores. No need to spend all your time scouring estate sales anymore to get the nostalgic vintage inspired Christmas look! Score!

    So now that the chain stores are selling some pretty cute vintage inspired stuff, it's a chance to get the look without the endless searching at thrift stores, estate sales and yard sales. (I must be getting old. When did I start complaining about the drudgery of hitting an estate sale?)

    (This post contains some is chock-full of affiliate links for your convenience. You can read my full disclosure policy here.)

    Where To Find Vintage Christmas Decor Reproductions

    Pottery Barn

    You can definitely get your Christmas mug fix on at Pottery Barn.

    Vintage styled Santa Mugs - just like my vintage ones I find at the thrift stores, but no chipping paint and weird stains. You can actually drink out of these!

    Look, he's winking at you!

    Warning on these guys - they sell out of these Santa mugs every single year, so if you want them, snatch them up pronto.

    Or if Santa isn't your thing (shh, don't say that too loud or he might hear you), then these cute little Cheeky Reindeer Mugs may pull your sled. They remind me of Rudolph's cute little girlfriend, Clarice.

    Of course, now that I'm typing that I realize the mugs are boys since they have antlers.

    Or what about a cute as a button Gnome Mug wearing a sweater?

    Not quite as vintage-esque, but these would be adorable to drink cocoa out of after a cold and snowy day of sledding!

    World Market

    Next stop on the vintage Christmas train is World Market, where vintage goodness comes and goes. Some years they have more of it than others.

    2022 is a so-so year, but I do have to say these mid-century modern houses are AMAZING!

    Although you would not have seen houses used as Christmas decor back in the day (they were more into putz houses back then), they do have that cool 1960's Palm Springs vibe!

    World Market also has this retro inspired Bottlebrush Wreath! This fabulous 8" wreath is not only pink, but snow covered and sporting shiny baubles!

    My friends at World Market nailed it with this cute pink retro-style deer.

    She would look so cute on the mantel surrounded by a grouping of bottlebrush trees!

    Here's a set of 4 retro-inspired Santa Claus plates. These would be so fun for Christmas morning brunch.

    Target

    Not a ton of truly vintage-looking at Target this year. But I did find these fun bottlebrush trees!

    This large bottlebrush tree with faux snow and ornaments stuck in it looks almost identical to one my Grandma had.

    This one is 14" tall (which is huge for one of these trees), but Target has them in an assortment of sizes if you are looking for smaller.

    These cardboard Christmas houses are made to look like the putz houses you would arrange beneath your Christmas tree. Target has a couple different styles of these houses, some with battery operated lights for setting on the mantel and some that just hang on the tree.

    This two-pack of little vintage-looking deer are adorable. They are on the smaller side, but priced to be affordable (less than $5 for the 2-pack).

    If you're in the market for a new tree this year, I love the sparse Christmas tree look of this one. It reminds me of the old-time somewhat spindly Christmas trees you see in old photos.

    Other than that, Target is a little bit of a disappointment vintage-wise for me in 2022! They had so much vintage looking goodies to choose from last year I think it spoiled me!

    Walmart 

    Yes, Walmart!

    Walmart has really stepped up their vintage game this year. Big time!

    This vintage-styled ornament wreath is gorgeous!

    It's a way to get that vintage ornament wreath look without hot gluing a bunch of Great Aunt Sally's heirloom ornaments to a wreath form yourself (and pissing off Great Aunt Sally in the process).

    And these gold and pastel colored glass trees are so fabulously retro looking!

    As soon as I saw these online, I ran down to my local Walmart to grab some in person only to find their spot on the shelf was totally bare. The price shelf tag was there, but not a shiny glass tree anywhere.

    As of this very minute, they do still sell them online, but I have a feeling they may go quickly. Because . . . hello, they're fabulous!

    Of course, Walmart also has the ultra-trendy ceramic Christmas trees.

    And if pink is not your thing, they also come in traditional green or even white.

    These trees have become so darn popular in the last few years, so if you didn't save your Grandma's ceramic tree you can still get in on the trend with these reproduction ones.

    And how about this blow mold candle for your porch! I have two sets of vintage blow mold candles and they look VERY similar to this one!

    You can see one set on my porch from a few years ago - Adding Retro To Your Christmas Porch Decor.

    This 24" snowman blow mold is pretty darn cute also!

    Don't get me started on the extremely cute retro-looking deer blow mold they had earlier in the season. She's all sold out now, but darn was she precious!  I'm kicking myself for not buying her while I had the chance!

    You are going to think I am obsessed with vintage-style deer figurines, but I had to show you these deer.

    I promise, no more deer!

    Ok, so I can not find this online, but Walmart has some of the old style felt icicles that you hang on mantels or shelves.

    Here is some very similar handmade stuff I made a few years ago to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

    But anyhow, I about peed my pants in joy when I saw it in Walmart's Christmas aisles.

    More Vintage Christmas Shopping

    If that's not enough retro Christmas goodness for you, I have two additional vintage inspired shopping guides:

    • Holiday Gift Guide For The Retro Christmas Lover - Even more ideas for the nostalgic Christmas look (most from Amazon or other online only stores).
    • Gift Guide For The Vintage Lover - Gifts for the retro lover on your gift list. Although this is meant to be a gift guide for buying gifts for other people, you can always buy yourself a gift or two!
    • 2022 Holiday Shopping Guide - all kinds of holiday things from Trees, Wreaths, Doormats to a whole bunch of Plaid all in one place.

    OK, I think that's enough reproduction vintage Christmas decorations to get you in the mood . Go forth and let the retro Christmas decorating begin!

      Argh! I'm both thrilled at the cuteness and completely freaked that it will kill the vintage market. Either by jacking the prices or making vintage worth nothing...I've had nightmares both ways. I've also heard there are knee hugger elves at Hobby Lobby. Happy Thanksgiving!

      I am loving the vintage reproduction I have ran across this year as well! Haven't made it to World Market and I love those deer! Oh, and how about the cuties from Target. Gold polka dots on their bodies!! So sweet. Thanks for giving us the scoop. Need to head to Walmart as well. 🙂 Like I need any new Christmas decor! 🙂
      hugs,
      Jann

      Hi Pam! I am so excited that I found your site. Even though it's three years later (according to the dates on the previous comments currently reading), & am hoping some of these items will be available to purchase this coming Christmas. Really looking forward to seeing if World Market will be stocking the pinecone elves. I just love these little characters! I also wanted to inquire as to whether you might have a source for buying repro vintage postcards. In particular, the beautiful Victorian ladies. I collect the ones of Victorian mothers & babies too. Would be interested in a company that sells repro on these. Love your site & looking forward to the newsletter. Thanks so much for any info you may offer. Regards, Sandy

        I've not seen them at the larger stores, but there is on online site called Zazzle that has reproduction postcards. Take a look at this one and you might be able to search for some other ones on there. I'm not 100% positive, but I think they are taking a digital image and printing it on card stock, so it has the look of a vintage postcard even though it was just made.

      I love vintage/antiques. My engagement ring is a vintage style. I have my grandma's bedroom furniture all handmade in 1941! This is a great post. I'm going to look for some vintage Christmas items at the places you recommend. Merry Christmas and thank you.

      Just did some checking, Miss Pam. LOVE the gnome mugs at Pottery Barn! You aren't kidding - stuff is going fast! In MN, already out of the Gnomette (female) mug, and the set of four mugs. Honesty tho, just browsing through all your store finds really gets me in the spirit! Oh, 'my' Target is also picked over - bottle brush trees, a two-pack, very banged up, in a smashed box. 🙁
