Millie Bobby Brown dresses her Christmas tree with this century-old holiday accessory – it brings instant texture against the white lights and branches

Millie Bobby Brown.

Few Christmas traditions are as timeless as red ribbons – one (said to symbolize family bonds) that has lived through decades of ever-changing decor trends. Red ribbons are budget-friendly, simple, and accessible to all, but that hasn't stopped the likes of Millie Bobby Brown from bringing them to the forefront of her tree.

The Stranger Things actress and model Jake Bongiovi used their Christmas tree as a reminder that time-honored holiday traditions are ageless for a reason – using red ribbon (with a gold trim) to bring instant texture to their tree. Staying true to more Christmas decorating traditions, the couple complemented the ribbon with red and green ornaments and white string lights – creating a color palette that has prolonged for years.
