It might only be September, but if you’re hoping to avoid the annual Christmas decorating scramble, now’s the time to start planning. Kmart has quietly dropped its 2026 Christmas collection, with budget-friendly buys starting from just $2.
Designed by our Melbourne-based team, it mixes this season’s freshest trends with the classics you love. So you can deck the halls and set a festive table without stretching the budget.
The trends we’re seeing
If you thought we’d seen the end of giant bows, you’d be incorrect. While there’s the classic red, you can also grab bows in different colours and textures. I’m personally a fan of the green striped oversized bow. But the nostalgic ceramic villages will be the pieces shoppers struggle to find, so you’ll have to act fast.
The best part is most of our favourite pieces cost less than $20.
What we’d buy from Kmart’s Christmas collection
The glow-up your village needs. This ceramic tree lights up and makes a nice centrepiece for your village scene. Use it on its own or group it with the other buildings.
Oversized bows are everywhere again this Christmas, and I have to admit, Kmart’s $9 striped one is an easy way to get on board with the trend in a more subtle way.
Oversized velvet bows give this wreath a luxe feel while tapping into one of this year’s biggest Christmas decorating trends.
This little ceramic bakery lights up and adds a cosy touch to any shelf.
Set the table with classic plaid. This one gives your table a traditional look and works well with any festive setup.
If you’re decorating with warm neutrals and natural textures, this 47-pack offers enough baubles to decorate an entire tree without spending a fortune.
These stretchy red bows are an easy way to make every chair look festive.
Try oversized baubles this year. Two 26cm baubles and one 22cm bauble with glitter and bow details make a playful, oversized statement. Hang them from the tree, windows or party spaces with the handy loops.
Giant bow tree topper, $12
If you’re into the big bow trend, this giant topper is a fun way to finish off your tree.
Not the most glamorous purchase, but possibly the smartest. Buy one now because they are hard to find in the new year when everyone packing away their trees. It’ll keep your tree protected and make decorating next year much easier.
A charming addition to any Christmas village, this light-up bookstore creates a cosy scene and pairs perfectly with Kmart’s growing collection of ceramic buildings.
Kmart’s $8 two-pack of light up ceramic houses brings a warm, festive glow to any shelf, mantel or tabletop.
Kmart’s $2 vintage look decorations are an affordable way to give your tree a classic, nostalgic feel.
