Five of the Coziest Christmas Fireplaces

Whether indoors near a dazzling tree or bundled up outside, gather with family by a warm fire to enjoy the spirit of the holidays. We’ve rounded up five of the coziest Christmas fireplaces featured in the pages of Southern Lady over the years.

HOLLY JOLLY

This warm reception of red, green, and gold welcomes Saint Nicholas as he prepares to descend the chimney. Burgundy velvet stockings hang amid a swag of greenery embellished with baubles. Flanking the hearth, built-in bookshelves are dressed up with miniature gold wreaths and matching gold ribbon tied in perfect bows.

GILDED TREASURES

A glorious magnolia garland draped atop the stone fireplace, accented with gold pine cones and a soft beaded ribbon, elevates this festive scene. Glimmering orbs bedeck the tree, while piles of presents and pleated stockings wait to be opened on Christmas morning.

OUTDOOR CHARM

During mild Southern winters, an open-air setting provides additional space to host family and friends beside a roaring fire. Plaid blankets, throw pillows decorated like wrapped gifts, and nature-inspired Christmas ornaments complement the lively wreath presiding over the hearth.

TWIST ON TRADITIONAL

An asymmetrical arrangement of Douglas fir, seeded eucalyptus, and purple thistle takes center stage on this living room mantel. Inspired by the colors of the home, bronze and blue ornaments add a merry yet sophisticated feel to the display.

HOLIDAY OPULENCE

A classic combination of red and green readies this colonial-style fireplace for a Yuletide celebration. Twining ribbon and pine branches frame the wooden surround, while potted poinsettias and monochromatic gifts complete the gracious scheme.
