I've long been a fan of Swedish brand Design Of.

Adding some festive sparkle with Georg Jensen’s 2020 ‘Christmas Collectibles’
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Georg Jensen, but all words and opinions are my own] I generally opt for a pared-back look at Christmas, with lots of evergreen foliage and a few simple decorations.
