During the colder months, flowers can help create that warm, holiday feeling we all love. Whether you’re creating stunning arrangements or designing a holiday wedding, Christmas flowers add a special touch to any space. Let’s get into the Christmas spirit together with our guide to the most popular Christmas flowers and top trends florists need to know for 2024 Christmas floral designs.

Top five most popular Christmas flowers

Let’s explore the top five Christmas flowers you can’t miss this season. These classic favourites are beloved for their beauty, symbolism, and versatility in holiday arrangements.

1. Poinsettia

One of the most iconic Christmas flowers is the poinsettia. With its vibrant red and green foliage, the poinsettia has become a symbol of the holiday season. In many cultures, the poinsettia is associated with Christmas. In Dutch, this flower is even called a Christmas star.

2. Ilex

Ilex is another famous flower and with its bright red berries, it is perfect for bringing that Christmassy vibe. With its bold colour and texture, Ilex makes a good addition to wreaths, centrepieces, and other arrangements. It also pairs well with other seasonal greenery, such as pine and fir.

3. Amaryllis

The amaryllis is a favourite in Christmas floral designs. Known that it comes in all different shades, from red and white to pinks, the amaryllis flower is a showstopper. Amaryllis flowers can be easily combined with other seasonal flowers or greenery, but it's also perfectly suited to be used in a bouquet by itself.

4. Roses

And finally, the perfect staple for any occasion: the rose. They cannot be missed from this list. With their delicate, but classy look, roses are perfect for adding a sophisticated look to any arrangement. Go for white roses to create the ultimate winter wonderland feel or choose red roses if you want to go the classic route.

5. Tulips

Another one of our favourite Christmas flowers is the tulip. And no, it’s never too early for tulips. While tulips are often associated with spring, they’re a perfect addition to Christmas floral designs too. Choose red tulips for a festive pop of colour or mix in white for a more wintery feel.

Top 3 Christmas flower trends for florists in 2024

While some traditions remain constant, new styles and trends continue to emerge. Here are some of the latest trends in Christmas florals for 2024.

“Christmas flowers add a special touch to any space.“

1. Non-traditional Christmas colour palettes

While red and green will always be a symbol of Christmas, these types of colours are becoming a trend as well. Think of blush pinks, icy blues, and deep purples. These colours offer a modern twist on traditional Christmas flowers and create something unique for your customers. Want unique sundries for Christmas as well?

2. Minimalist holiday arrangements

A growing trend in holiday décor is minimalism. Simple and elegant bouquets or single-flower arrangements - such as a cluster of amaryllis or a few stems of ilex - can provide a stunning and simple look that is still Christmassy.
