There are those with the face of Madame Vogue, Anna Wintour, already sold out.

Or, among the most popular, those with the portrait of Queen Elizabeth, of the singer-songwriter Taylor Swift while she plays the guitar or those with the rapper Post Malone's big face.

Followed by the timeless style icon Audrey Hepburn and a string of well-known faces, actors and celebrities and ironic references to the anxieties of modernity (with anti-stress and anti-wrinkle decorations).

We are talking about the

coolest decorations to hang on the Christmas tree

, which at least this year undermine the traditional glass spheres and classic decorations according to the Victorian style (from the German and then English tradition).

The most classic of the classics, back in vogue with the pandemic that saw us locked up at home without the possibility of having big parties or smiling too much, have fewer converts and above all generations Y and Z go crazy for

the irony of the holidays

with an increasingly rich offer of decorations that weren't there before.


The ironic and sarcastic decorations to hang on the tree are followed by the

trend of special effects

obtained with LED lights that also sparkle to the rhythm of music, to be used even in low energy consumption mode and

to be managed with a smartphone

And.

For those who love tradition but want to be less nineteenth-century, it is the year of the monochromatic tree which adds nuances of periwinkle and purple to the already seen shades of ice and blue of the balls and ribbons in 'very peri' style, Pantone color of the year .


Modern ornaments capture the spirit of the time, reports the New York Times which lists the most ironic decorations of the moment.

The pendants with

portraits of celebrities

are followed by the super sarcastic ones that play with recurring anxieties, such as those that reproduce Botox-type anti-wrinkle mini-syringes (among the most popular in New York) and those in the shape of anti-anxiety pills among the best known in the world. world (Prozac), perfectly reproduced in colored glass with a ribbon to hang them on the branches of the fir tree.


And then pendants that point to the passions of family members: DJ headphones, old cassette tapes, tennis rackets, soccer balls, reproduced in glass or synthetic, even

food and beverage

as in the Action brand.

At Flying Tiger this year a fun and colorful collection has been created, with eco-friendly decorations in glass and metal depicting slices of pizza,

yoga mat,

cucumber, hot dog and cup cake.


Or you can hang

the complete portrait of your family on the tree, pets included,

as seen in specialized shops in the main Italian cities, such as in the Christmas The Original chain stores where decorations are made on request.

Alternative, ironic and super-personalized ornaments are the

most evident trend for this Christmas, together with the increasingly popular use of smart light beams (they can be synchronized and optimized to save consumption and produce colored light beams even at music) that are managed with special Apps from smartphones, produced by hi-tech companies.

The influencer with over 28 million followers on Instagram, Chiara Ferragni, already showed a tree of this type and in maxi format, with long cascades of lights and smart LEDs, starting from the first days of November, accumulating over 680,000 hearts and a few criticism of the alleged consumption of electricity.


Are the spheres decreasing, the lights and LEDs associated with mobile phones increasing?

Not always,

lovers of tradition resist and for those who love fir trees and more classic decorations

(or for those who pay attention to their bills) and the strong liking for covering

the tree with monochrome decorations

is confirmed , with ice white spheres, or blue and light blue enhanced by threads glittering silver and synthetic snow.

However, those looking for new ideas on colors and decorations should know that the nuance of the year, as established by the international Pantone system, is 'very peri', a color that did not exist before which mixes periwinkle blue with a purple undertone it's red.

Balls, ribbons and sparkles for the 2022 holidays on Instagram this year in fact include the colors of ice, pink, purple and lavender, as suggested by experts and enthusiasts in search of originality.
