Best Spots in Orange County to Shop for Christmas Decorations

If you’re dreaming of a holiday season filled with timeless elegance and festive atmosphere, Orange County’s luxury shopping centers are an absolute must-visit. These destinations turn into real winter wonderlands — sparkling displays, dazzling ornaments, and upscale Christmas decorations everywhere you look. Every visit feels like a celebration! South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa is the crown jewel. During the holidays, this iconic one-stop shop pulls out ALL the stops — twinkling lights, grand trees, festive decorations at every turn. Their world-class boutiques and high-end shops, from Neiman Marcus to Anthropologie, have everything you need to create a sophisticated, memorable holiday look. Whether you’re searching for a show-stopping ornament, a unique gift, or just want to soak in the festive spirit, South Coast Plaza fills you with joy. And the magic keeps going! Fashion Island in Newport Beach and The OC Mix in Costa Mesa bring their own sparkle, mixing chic shops, local boutiques, and even antique shops for a nostalgic touch. Old Towne Orange is another favorite with its charming vibe and timeless holiday decorations that make every stroll feel special. And if you wander into Huntington Beach, you’ll find upscale boutiques and festive community events that capture the spirit of the season.

If you’re anything like me, the second we finish those Thanksgiving leftovers, it’s officially TIME — break out the bins, plug in the lights, and make the whole house feel like Christmas! And luckily for us, Orange County has some truly amazing spots for holiday décor — classy, cozy, personalized, full-on festive… whatever you love, it’s here.

These are my go-to places around OC, all well-reviewed and genuinely worth the trip. Think of this as your insider guide from someone who actually lives here, shops here, and has way too many ornaments to prove it!

Roger’s Gardens in Corona del Mar

If you want Christmas magic, this is absolutely where you start. Roger’s Gardens is a dream destination — a full-on holiday haven for anyone obsessed with upscale decorations. It feels like stepping straight into a holiday movie! Every display is detailed, every room is beautifully decorated, and the whole place just sparks inspiration.

Their curated course through themed rooms and sections makes the shopping experience feel like a guided holiday adventure. It’s where you go for that one special piece — the wreath, the ornament, the tree topper — or exclusive, upscale décor that instantly elevates your home. It’s super popular, a little pricier, but absolutely worth it for the quality.

Christmas Corner OC in Mission Viejo

This little shop is perfect if you want sentimental Christmas décor. Personalized ornaments, custom names, dates, pets, babies’ first Christmas… they have all the little touches that make your tree feel like your story. These personalized and custom items sell out quickly, so shop early if you want your favorites.

It’s one of those stops that just makes you smile — especially if you’re buying for family or friends.

The Wrapper in Costa Mesa

Such a solid, reliable spot! A great mix of ornaments, ribbons, décor, and gifts — and never overwhelming. Everything feels thoughtfully curated.

If you want something cute, festive, and easy to grab without wandering around for an hour, this friendly little stop is perfect. You might even find a surprise or two — unique or unexpected holiday items that make it extra fun.

Shinoda Design Center in Santa Ana

If you’ve never been, picture a massive Christmas warehouse in Santa Ana filled wall-to-wall with holiday décor. This is where decorators and designers shop. Trees, floral pieces, garlands, ribbons, ornaments — rows and rows of it!

It’s perfect if you’re planning a full holiday home makeover or want pieces that feel totally different from the typical stores. Just be sure to check the store’s website for current hours and inventory updates.

Hobby Lobby in Laguna Niguel

Hobby Lobby goes BIG for Christmas. Aisles and aisles of décor at good prices, with classic styles and quirky styles all in one place. If you’re decorating on a budget but still want your home to look amazing, this spot is an easy, cheerful win.

HomeGoods in Mission Viejo

HomeGoods is always an adventure, but during Christmas? It’s especially fun! You never know what you’re going to find — maybe a gorgeous candle holder, a random wooden Santa, or a giant snow globe you had no idea you needed.

It’s perfect for filling in all the small, cozy, festive touches at home.

Assistance League Thrift Shop in Laguna Beach

If you love vintage, nostalgic, or one-of-a-kind holiday décor, this place is such a hidden gem. Older ornaments, classic pieces, decorations with charm and character — it’s a slower browse, but you’ll uncover treasures you simply can’t buy new anymore.

If you really want to make your home feel like Christmas this year, start with one or two “wow” pieces from Roger’s Gardens or Shinoda, grab something personal from Christmas Corner OC, and fill in the rest with HomeGoods or Hobby Lobby. Orange County has endless holiday spirit — you just need to know where to look!
