Few Christmas traditions are as timeless as red ribbons – one said to symbolize family bonds – that have endured through decades of evolving decor trends. Red ribbons are budget-friendly, simple, and accessible, yet that hasn’t stopped the likes of Millie Bobby Brown from bringing them to the forefront of her tree.
Last year, the Stranger Things actress and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, used their Christmas tree to show that time-honored holiday traditions remain ageless, incorporating red ribbon with gold trim to add instant texture. Staying true to classic Christmas decorating ideas, the couple complemented the ribbon with red and green ornaments and white string lights, creating a Christmas color palette that has endured for years – and remains entirely relevant for 2025.
