Christmas is coming, and if you haven't strung up your Christmas stockings, we're going to assume it's because you've yet to find the perfect stocking holder to complete your holiday mantle decor. While stockings hold a sentimental value that you reach for year after year, stocking holders are an easy and small way to renew your mantle display each year.
Even though nails "get the job done," they surely can damage your mantle, and are far from festive. Rather, we found some gorgeous and functional stocking holder designs to elevate your mantle display to next level, and most importantly, keep all the treasures hidden inside each family member's stocking safe and secure. However, we can't guarantee those hooks will stop prying eyes from taking a peek at what's inside.
And if you don't have an actual mantle to hang stockings on, we've found some alternative ideas for you to try too.
Discover our favorite stocking holders that will suit a range of decor vibes from a minimalist Scandi-inspired moment to a cozy and rustic display, and of course every design style in between.
