In an article published by Homes & Gardens, the magazine highlighted how Kristen Bell’s Christmas tree predicted one of the biggest festive trends of 2025: the Wickedcore aesthetic, inspired by the magical universe of The Wizard of Oz and boosted by the highly anticipated film Wicked: For Good.

The film release of Wicked, surrounded by high expectations, is already influencing interior design, especially with its vibrant aesthetic marked by the contrast between Elphaba’s emerald green and Glinda’s pastel pink. This palette, according to the publication, is perfect for those who want Christmas décor with personality, color and a strong visual narrative.
The tree that Kristen Bell set up last year, remembered by Homes & Gardens as “prophetic,” is the best example of how to incorporate this universe into décor in an elegant and playful way. The actress, alongside her husband Dax Shepard, had already shown an affinity for whimsical themes, having previously adopted a Grinch-inspired aesthetic, and now showed she was ahead of the trend that would dominate 2025.
In the image shared on Instagram, the tree appeared to be reached by a yellow brick road, recreated at the base of the decoration. Beneath its branches appeared the famous legs of the Wicked Witch of the East, one of the most recognizable symbols of the story.
Among the ornaments, the iconic ruby slippers stood out, immortalized by Judy Garland in the 1939 film. The composition also included pink and red ornaments, accompanied by a delicate pink ribbon, an element that, as Homes & Gardens noted, remains strong in the décor of 2025. At the top, two special ornaments represented Glinda and Elphaba, tying the themed concept together perfectly.
The Wickedcore trend, according to the publication, grew thanks to the powerful cultural influence the Wicked universe has gained in recent years. Actresses Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the film’s stars, helped amplify the phenomenon by publicly embracing the green and pink tones characteristic of their characters, inspiring fashion, design and content around the world.
With the upcoming release of Wicked: For Good, the Oz aesthetic has returned to the center of décor conversations, combining vibrant tones, playful elements and jewel-like details to create sophisticated, joyful and emotionally connected environments. Kristen Bell, as pointed out by Homes & Gardens, simply got there first.
