You don’t have to be a reindeer to be a great deer for Christmas! “Regular” deer – like mule deer or the Virginia whitetail – are also closely associated with the winter holidays.
What’s their connection with the holiday? We aren’t really sure. Most likely, it’s because it’s easier to see them in the forest or even approaching populated areas during the winter months. The trees are bare so they don’t get lost in the foliage. They also venture out in search of whatever food they can find.
Regardless, we love seeing them! They usually look so peaceful as they go about their lives! And they aren’t known for being dangerous to people – they don’t generally even turn over trash cans!
We’ve found some awesome Christmas decorations that feature these beautiful creatures. From lawn decorations to pillow covers, there’s such a great array available!
So how will you make deer part of your Christmas celebration this year?
NOMA Pre-Lit Light Up Glitter Deer Set
This great set of deer adds wonderful, warm holiday light to your front lawn or porch! Of course, you could choose to use them indoors as well.
One piece is 34 inches tall, while the other measures 20 inches. Of course, that’s far from life-size but it’s still great for adding a simple, classy touch. They’re both decorated with gold glitter that reflects the lightbulbs strung through them. And the lights? There are a total of 105 LEDs that help these pieces shine!
Some assembly is required, but we haven’t seen any complaints about the difficulty. Most parts are held together with zip ties, but they are easy to hide. And you can leave it put together in storage from year to year.
There are ground stakes in case you want to place them on soil. That’s probably the best option, as they could tip over with a light bump if not fastened down
Each piece plugs in separately. That gives you more flexibility for placement and makes it easier to move them, as well.
Red Christmas Stockings with Deer
Whether you fill them with fruits and toys, toothpaste and deodorant, or small toys and gift cards – or even if you just hang them empty – Christmas stockings are a wonderful part of the holiday’s design. And these beautiful pieces will be a great addition to your mantel!
We love the darker, rich red used here; somehow it seems more adult and distinguished. And the white trim and decorations stand out so clearly!
They’re a nice size, too. The opening measures almost 9 inches across. From top to heel, it’s 18 inches and from heel to toe, over 10 inches. They strike that perfect balance where they’re big enough to be noticed without being overpowering.
They’re durable, also, since they’re made from burlap. The cuffs are faux fur. Three stockings come in the order.
Funkprofi Deer Hat Chair Covers
Add some seasonal flavor to your dining room chairs with these awesome Christmas/deer-themed chair covers! This set of 6 covers adds bright, cheery deer all around the table. Sure, they’re reindeer, and they even have red noses. But we decided to include them with “regular” deer just because they’re too good to leave out!
These are well-crafted and fit most chairs. They measure about 23.6 high by 19.7 inches across, perfect for the standard chair.
They’re pretty lightweight, so it’s best to use them ornamentally. If you use them on chairs that are in daily use, they may not last more than one season. However, if used just for Christmas dinner and occasionally, you’ll be able to put them away and use them year after year. The material is polyester.
Yostyle Christmas Stockings
We wanted to present a variety of decorations, but we just couldn’t avoid featuring two sets of Christmas Stockings! This is another wonderful set that will look great by your fireplace or wherever you’d like to hang them.
These are about 18 inches from top to toe and 10 inches across. They have long strings to hang them by, too!
They’re handknit, and really look like real (though oversized) knit socks. Two have a red base and two are green. The red is close to “fire engine red” and the green is somewhat dark, like a forest green. The trim is off-white. The design is on both front and back.
We’d recommend these mainly for decorative purposes, and not for stuffing with gifts. If you do want to put gifts in them, try to keep it light. These seem like they might easily get stretched out of shape.
Sykting Christmas Pillow Covers 18×18
Your living room pillows are another great place to add some Christmas spirit! This set up four pillow covers adds great Christmas red-and-white designs to the pillows you already have.
These fit 18-inch-square pillows.
There are four different designs. One of them has a buck and doe, tying it to our “deer” theme. Another says “Let It Snow”, a third “Merry Christmas”, and the fourth features a large snowflake. It’s a great balance of text and images, even!
The patterns are embroidered, so you have a real 3D look and feel to these! The patterns are on just one side. They’re made of cotton.
The zipper is hidden so you don’t have to worry about it ruining the great looks of your Christmas pillow covers!
Wrapping It Up
Deer can be a wonderful addition to your Christmas decorations. There are so many great ways to work them in! We hope you love these great pieces and find many, many more ways to make your home look great for the holidays.
