How To Have A Wicked Christmas
Every Christmas season needs a little drama. Not just the family-table kind (though let’s be honest, that’s practically mandatory), but the sort of show-stopping, high-glamour drama that transforms your home into something spell-binding. This year, we’re taking our cues from the West End and Broadway stage. That’s right: Wicked.
Hot pink and bright green are an iconic combo, and one we adore here at Rockett St George. Together, they capture the sass of Glinda, the strength of Elphaba, and the unapologetic glamour of RSG. It's not a coincidence that our pink and green metallic star hanging decorations are at the heart of our Christmas homeware accessories this year, or that they're ready and waiting to cast a spell over you when it's time to decorate your home for Christmas.
So whether you’re Team Glinda, Team Elphaba, or (like us) refuse to choose, these Christmas decorations are about to become your festive heroes. Here’s how to work a Wicked theme into every corner of your home for a Christmas that feels bold, cohesive, and utterly unforgettable.
On the Christmas Tree: A Wicked Twist on Tradition
Let’s start with the obvious star of the show: your Christmas tree. Now, we're all for 'Wicked' Christmas tree toppers that take the traditional to the next level - that's just how we roll - but this year, we're going for Wicked: For Good drama in all the festive hot spots. Because Christmas decorations this bold and beautiful deserve to be seen.
Our Christmas Star Hanging Decorations In Metallic Pink or Metallic Green don't just perch politely at the top of the tree. They command the stage in an entirely Wicked-worthy way! The glossy shine bounces fairy light glow across the room, turning your tree into quite the theatre spotlight. And who says you always have to style the stars on top? Hang them from the branches as statement ornaments or layer with baubles in clashing metallics for extra shimmer, and your tree becomes a full-blown production. Just how we like our Wicked vibes on Christmas Day!
Suspended Over the Christmas Table: Dining With the Stars
If your Christmas table is where the party really happens (and let’s be real, it is), then why limit your star power to the sideboard or tree? Suspend a cluster of these delightful celestial objects above the table to create a mesmerising and immersive atmosphere, or hang them at staggered heights so the hot pink and electric green hues catch the candlelight from the table below. (Not literally, obviously.)
And here’s the beauty: the stars don’t overshadow your tableware or centrepiece - they elevate them. We can't think of a better way to enjoy our Christmas pudding or a festive mince pie than under a twinkling canopy that feels straight out of Oz. Pure magic.
Transitional Spaces: Hallways & Landings
Here’s a styling tip guaranteed to set your home apart (in the best way) - don't forget about the transitional spaces. Hallways, landings and staircases, in other words. They also deserve a little Wicked fairy dust, because carrying the theme on throughout your home creates a beautifully cohesive Christmas theme that really comes alive.
Drape fairy lights around your banisters, then intersperse our Metallic Stars at intervals, fixing them to the staircase spindles or hanging them off the banister to create a Wicked-ly eye-catching rhythm that flows beautifully. On landings, hang stars at differing levels to create an enchanting ceiling-scape, and transform hallway corners with an artfully placed pile of stars that transforms them into an inviting nook that glitters in the a totally Wicked way. Styling previous forgotten spaces helps to pull your festive look together, making your home feel intentional, not just decorated. Every inch of your home now tells a festive story - and it’s a Wicked one.
Mantels & Sideboards: Stars That Steal the Spotlight
Mantels are basically mini stages. They frame the fireplace, they anchor the living room, and they beg for something bold. Enter our Wicked-hued stars.
Cluster them with iridescent garlands, nestle them between LED candles, or let them lean Wicked-ly against the statement mirror hung over your mantel. On sideboards, pair them with sculptural vases and quirky ornaments for an editorial, styled-to-perfection look. Hot pink tinsel offers playful glamour, while bright green adds an unexpected, Wicked edge - it’s the perfect balance. Together, they turn any mantel or sideboard into a focal point worthy of a standing ovation.
Ornamental Fireplaces: A Set Designer’s Dream
Now, we love the roar of an open fire at Christmas as much as the next person. But there are benefits to a fireplace that's purely ornamental. You can use it as the backdrop to the most Wicked festive tableau you can rustle up, and go even bolder with decorating. Use oversized papercraft decorations in traditional festive colours to fill the hearth, then layer them with papercraft trees and stockings hung from the mantel. Add our Metallic Stars for a Wicked mash-up of colours and textures, and you have the perfect backdrop for Christmas merriment. Gorgeous!
Why Pink & Green (And Gold) Work So Well Together
Thinking of life beyond Wicked: For Good (because yes, there is such a thing), hot pink and bright green are colour theory soulmates. They sit opposite one another on the colour wheel, which means they pop in each other’s presence. Pink softens the sharpness of green; green amplifies the warmth of pink. Together, they’re vibrant, fresh, and completely Wicked.
Using them in metallic finishes adds another layer making them feel celebratory, glamorous, and a little bit decadent. These colours aren't shy - they’re confident, daring, and unapologetically bold. Exactly the kind of energy your Christmas deserves - and for something a little bit extra? Use your stars as window dressing. Suspend stars at different heights in your front window, which gives passers-by a Wicked-worthy show before they’ve even knocked on the door.
Alternatively, use them as a Wicked Photo Booth-esque backdrop. Hosting drinks? String a few metallic stars against a plain wall for an instant (and super-flattering) canvas. Light bounces off the stars in most complimentary of ways, and it's brilliant for encouraging your guests to release their inner Wicked witch (or wizard) and let their hair down.
But! There's a twist. Our favourite decorative stars also come in gold. There's no rule book that says you can't introduce a little traditional golden glamour to proceedings, and this added extra does the trick nicely. Layer in for all the luxurious, effortlessly extra feels - and award extra bonus points if your playlist includes Popular or Defying Gravity.
The Final Act: A Wicked Christmas
Christmas always involves a little theatre...the rituals, the sparkle, the gathering of cast and crew (aka family and friends). So why not lean into it? Our Christmas Star Hanging Decorations aren’t just decorations - they’re scene-stealers. They bring Wicked’s signature sass and style into your home, whether they’re crowning your tree, hanging above the dining table, or turning your hallway into a walkway worthy of the Emerald City.
So whether you're Team Glinda, Team Elphaba or happy straddling both worlds, these stars are ready to cast their spell. This Christmas, don’t just decorate. Stage your own Wicked-inspired masterpiece. Curtain up, lights on, and let the magic begin.
