Cozy Christmas Decor on a Budget

You can make your home feel warm and festive this Christmas without spending a fortune. We pulled together 15 Amazon decor finds that look far more expensive than they are, and every pick except the tree is under $50.
The list covers the big pieces first (tree, wreath, garland and lights), then the little touches that make a room feel cozy. Grab them early: the best-rated holiday decor tends to sell out or jump in price after Black Friday.

Start With the Tree
1. Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree (6 ft)
The tree is the one place worth spending a little more. A pre-lit tree saves you the yearly tangle of lights, and a good one lasts for years. Short on space? A 4 to 4.5 ft pre-lit tree works beautifully in an apartment, a kids' room or an entryway.

2. Pre-Lit Christmas Wreath (24 in)
A wreath is the first thing guests see. Look for a battery-operated wreath with pinecones and red berries, so you can hang it on any door without an outlet. A timer is a big plus.

5. Shatterproof Ornament Set

No fireplace? Weighted stocking holders sit on a shelf, console table or TV stand, so everyone still gets a stocking.
