How to Decorate your Filipino Home this Holiday
Christmas in the Philippines is truly special, filling our homes with warmth and joy long before Christmas Day even arrives. Families gather for simple meals that spark meaningful conversations, and Christmas lights can be seen in windows as early as September.
This festive spirit inspires many of us to decorate in ways that honor our traditions while adding some modern touches. Let’s explore ideas on how to decorate your home for Christmas in true Filipino fashion.
Start With the Symbol of the Season: The Parol
The Parol holds a special place in our hearts, symbolizing hope, light, and the joy of Christmas nights spent with family. Kultura has beautifully made items that add a warm glow to modern homes, like their charming Foldable Christmas Parols.
Talented women make each handcrafted Filipino Christmas parol from Kababaihan ng Maynila, a foundation that supports women in underserved communities. These ornaments are created from shimmering red fabric, which enhances your decor with a festive glow.
To enhance the festive vibe, consider adding Parol ornaments to your Christmas tree. These small details help create a cozy atmosphere for your Christmas decorating and set the right mood for the season.
Add Local Touches Around the Home
Once the Parol sets the festive mood, it’s time to sprinkle in some charming decor that captures the spirit of the season. One delightful piece to consider is Kultura’s selection of Filipino Santa Christmas ornaments.
These small Santa Claus statues with traditional Filipino themes brighten up shelves or table displays. Choose from various designs like Santa with bibingka, Santa with balut, or Santa with lechon.
Another joyful addition to your Christmas decor is our classic Santa with Fruit Basket. This cheerful figure, made from resin and abaca it holds a wooden tray for candies, chocolates, or small Christmas items. It’s a great fit on dining or coffee tables, adding a bit of whimsy alongside wooden bowls, woven mats, or shiny metallic accents.
Dress Up Your Christmas Tree
A Christmas tree brings magic to holiday gatherings, especially with its soft lights during cozy evenings. Add a Filipino touch with our Capiz Ornaments, available in angel, Filipino Santa, and star designs. They also come with thread hangers and gift-ready packaging!

To add a bit more fun, sprinkle in some Abaca Tree Ornaments. They bring a playful, familiar feel that resonates with Filipino traditions. For families who enjoy eco-friendly, meaningful Christmas decorations, choosing items inspired by indigenous materials in the Philippines adds a special touch and connects to cherished memories.
Bring the Spirit to Shared Spaces
The living room often becomes the backdrop for holiday stories, snacks, and music. To create a cozy and festive atmosphere, consider adding bright and charming Abaca table Christmas trees. These beautiful trees, made from the soft abaca fibers, bring a unique texture and a touch of Filipino craftsmanship to your decor.
You can place them on trays, group them alone or with Capiz stars, or position them with a Holy Family nativity statue. These little details transform your living room into a welcoming holiday haven.
People who enjoy handmade items may also appreciate accents inspired by Christmas decor made from recycled materials, adding textures that feel natural alongside woven baskets or wooden trays.
Time to Decorate for the Holiday
Decorating a Filipino home for Christmas becomes a pleasant experience when pieces carry stories of craft, light, and cheerful memories. Parols set the season’s glow, while handcrafted Santas, wooden trays, and Capiz stars bring warmth into different corners of the house. So, as you decorate your home, embrace these traditions and let the magic of Christmas fill your space with love and light!
