Christmas wall art makes one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. It's personal, it lasts long after the wrapping paper is gone, and it comes back out every December as part of someone's holiday tradition.
Whether you're shopping for a new homeowner, new parents or the friend who always has the best-decorated house, this guide matches the right print to the right person, with sizing tips and when to order so it arrives in time.
Key Takeaways
Match the print to their home, not your own taste: vintage for traditional homes, white and gold for modern ones.
16x20 and 18x24 are the safest gift sizes, since they fit almost any wall.
Order by late November. Every print is made to order in about 3 to 5 business days, plus shipping.
Winter scenes make the most versatile gifts, because they can stay up from November to February.
Christmas Wall Art Gift Ideas by Recipient
For New Homeowners
A first Christmas in a new home deserves something to mark it. A Golden Christmas Tree print glowing under soft streetlights feels warm and celebratory, while a snowy Winter Forest print works in any room and can stay up all winter.
For New Parents
Soft, sweet holiday art can hang in the nursery for baby's first Christmas and come back out every year after. Our vintage Rudolph print and Vintage Snowman print both use gentle, neutral tones that suit any nursery.
For Vintage Lovers
For anyone who loves an old-world Christmas, choose a nostalgic scene. Our Vintage Winter Village print and Santa Reading by the Fireplace print feel like a page from a classic storybook. If they love the heritage tartan look, our guide to Ralph Lauren Christmas decor has more ideas, and our vintage Christmas wall art ideas cover every nostalgic style.
For Neutral and Minimal Homes
If their home is calm and neutral, skip the red and green. A White and Gold Christmas Tree print or a Snowy Pine Tree print adds holiday feeling without clashing with beige, white or light wood.
For Faith-Based Families
For families who celebrate the meaning of Christmas, our Nativity Scene print of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus under the Star of Bethlehem is a meaningful gift they'll display for years.
For Hosts
The friend who hosts every holiday dinner will love something for the dining room or mantel. Our Christmas Wreath print and Vintage Christmas Bells print work alone or as a matching pair, and our Christmas gallery wall ideas show how to style them as a set.

How to Pick the Right Size for a Gift
When you don't know their walls, size is the hardest part. Most of our designs come in 11x14, 16x20, 18x24 and 24x36, with select designs in larger sizes like 30x40.
11x14: shelves, bathrooms, small nooks and gallery walls.
16x20 or 18x24: the safest choice for a gift, since it fits entryways, bedrooms and above a console.
24x36 and larger: statement pieces above a sofa, bed or mantel. Choose these only if you know the space.
When to Order Christmas Wall Art
Every print is made to order, which takes about 3 to 5 business days before it ships. Holiday shipping can be slower than usual, so ordering by late November gives the most breathing room for gifts to arrive before Christmas. Shipping is free on every order across Canada and the U.S.
Where to Hang Holiday Wall Art
Christmas wall art isn't just for the living room. A well-placed print can make any room feel festive.
In the kitchen, a small holiday print near the coffee or cocoa station adds cheer to a room that often gets overlooked.
In bathrooms, a small snowy forest or winter landscape makes even a compact space feel warm.
In the entryway, a framed winter scene above a console sets the tone as guests arrive.
In dining rooms, a larger winter forest or Christmas village print anchors the room during holiday dinners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Christmas gift for someone who loves wall art?
A good Christmas gift for someone who loves wall art is a print that matches their home's style, like a vintage winter village for a traditional home or a white and gold tree for a modern one. Made-to-order prints arrive ready to hang, so there's nothing for them to assemble.
What size wall art makes a good gift?
The best size wall art for a gift is 16x20 or 18x24, since it fits most walls without needing to know exact measurements. Choose 24x36 or larger only if you know they want a statement piece above a sofa, bed or mantel.
When should I order Christmas wall art to arrive before Christmas?
To have Christmas wall art arrive before Christmas, order by late November. Each print is made to order in about 3 to 5 business days, plus shipping time, and ordering early leaves room for holiday shipping delays.
What Christmas art makes a good gift for new parents?
Christmas art makes a good gift for new parents when it's soft and sweet enough for a nursery. A vintage Rudolph or snowman print in neutral tones makes a first-Christmas keepsake they can bring out every year.
Can you leave Christmas wall art up after the holidays?
You can leave Christmas wall art up after the holidays if it shows winter scenes rather than Christmas symbols. Snowy forests, pine trees and winter landscapes look right from November through February.
Give a Gift That Comes Back Every Christmas
The best Christmas gifts are the ones that become part of someone's tradition. A well-chosen print gets unpacked every December, hung in the same spot, and remembered as the gift from you.
Start with the person: their home's style, the room it will hang in, and whether they'd love vintage charm or a calm, neutral look. Choose 16x20 or 18x24 if you're unsure of size, and order by late November so it arrives in time.
