The temperatures outside may still be toasty, but inside the My Mind's Eye warehouse? Santa's sleigh has officially landed.
Christmas 2026 is live, boxes are being packed, and orders begin shipping today. Our design team has spent the year researching trends, dreaming up new products, illustrating, designing, styling, and adding a little My Mind's Eye magic to every detail.
And we can finally say it: this might be our favorite Christmas yet.
With 14+ new collections and looks, this year's launch moves from nostalgic New England Christmas and classic red-and-green plaid to retro Santa, Nordic folk art, maximalist party décor and cheeky Christmas cocktails. There's something for every shop, and every kind of Christmas customer.
So grab the cocoa. Or let's be realistic, an iced Diet Coke.
01 · The trend we're betting big on
Christmas Cheer
Gingham
We're calling it now: gingham is going to be BIG for Christmas 2026.
Christmas Cheer pairs this trending pattern with traditional red and green, giving customers something that feels fresh without abandoning the colors they already love at Christmas.
02 · The heritage Christmas moment
Christmas Plaid
Traditional · Nostalgic · Collected
Plaid had a major moment on social media last Christmas, and we expect the heritage Christmas aesthetic to continue growing this season.
We've expanded our Christmas Plaid Collection with our signature party fans plus another trend we're watching closely: paper chains. Ours get a My Mind's Eye upgrade with beautiful gold foil details.
Incredibly easy to mix into the Christmas décor your customers already own.
