While traditional Christmas decorations dominate homes around the world with bows, tartan and classic references, a parallel trend is gaining ground among those seeking personality and nostalgia: vintage kitsch. And no one has embraced this aesthetic with as much creativity as Selena Gomez.

As highlighted by Homes & Gardens, the singer and actress’s Christmas tree, created alongside producer Benny Blanco, is a true visual manifesto in favor of retro maximalism. It may not be for everyone’s taste, but it is impossible to ignore the playful and emotional charm of this unconventional approach.
The nostalgic appeal of retro ornaments
Vintage decorations have something deeply familiar about them. They evoke memories, spark smiles and often appear in unexpected forms — exactly what makes this aesthetic so enchanting. According to Homes & Gardens, the current fascination with retro ornaments stems precisely from this ability to unite nostalgia and fun during a time of year that is naturally charged with emotion.
In this context, Selena Gomez’s Christmas tree stands out as one of the boldest and most successful interpretations of the kitsch trend this season.
A themed tree that defies the obvious
Designed by her friend and renowned decorator Mindy Weiss, the Christmas décor in Selena’s home goes beyond the conventional. The residence features two Christmas trees: one with a vibrant and playful pink look, and another entirely dedicated to food-inspired ornaments, the true star of the décor.
As Homes & Gardens describes, this themed tree showcases some of the most creative ornaments of the moment: from jars of pickles to baked hams, along with other unusual foods that transform the tree into an almost surreal and delightfully playful composition.
Kitsch as an expression of personality
While both trees are visually striking, it is the food-inspired décor that shines in all its maximalist glory. By replacing classic bows and traditional baubles with unexpected objects, Selena proves that Christmas can also be irreverent, personal and full of humor.
According to Homes & Gardens, this type of decoration may not appeal to everyone, but it perfectly fulfills its role: awakening nostalgia, sparking conversation and inspiring those who want to step away from the obvious without losing the festive spirit.
