Forget the mantle, take imaginative Christmas styling outdoors. A truck’s flatbed, or the hatch of your car, is more than a place to haul the recyclables–it’s a prime location for a holiday nook. The setting is ideal for post-worthy Christmas pictures, another location to stretch the festivities, or a retreat from holiday pandemonium. From warm blankets, pillows and a classic Christmas wreath, we have simple suggestions that will achieve the ultimate holiday setting.

Eight Ideas for a Styled Christmas Truck
- Clean the cargo bed to prime your Christmas vignette.
- View the truck as you would any space that’s ripe with holiday styling possibilities.
- Gather Christmas elements that can weather the outdoors, like durable blankets and linens in Christmas colors.
- Bring in the natural, with a wreath centerpiece fastened to the back window, along with smaller trees and pine branches displayed in rustic vessels.
- Use crates or white birch logs to add levels to the vignette.
- Pull in holiday accents like a Christmas pillow, sled, or string of fairy lights to emphasize the traditional decor.
- Add functional items, such as a thermos of hot cocoa, warm throws and candles to comfort dwellers in chillier temps.
- Style with classic patterns, plaids and materials, like white birch and faux fur, along with seasonal colors to reinforce the Yuletide effect.
Rugged yet seasonal–accessorize with pieces that bring comfort and joy.
