The oldest pair of socks ever found is over 1700 years old, making a soft, warm stocking a very old and well-known symbol of coziness and comfort. It’s just the thing to bring that welcome hygge element to a Christmas display. Whether you’re putting out your stockings for Santa to fill, or just looking for a gentle counterpoint to your greenery, white Christmas stockings are a beautiful part of any holiday decor.
White brings to mind the snow and cold breezes outside, and coordinates perfectly with the holiday palette. You can go for a more neutral, natural white, like an undyed wool, or a pristine snow white, depending on the permanent decor elements in your space. Christmas stockings aren’t just made from Santa costume style faux fur anymore! You can find knit stockings, quilted stockings, embroidered stockings, and other fun and beautiful options to suit your style.
Here are some fabulous examples of decorating with white Christmas stockings that will make visions of sugar plums dance in your head!
