Holiday Decor Inspiration: Cranberries
With so many different ways to decorate your home for the holiday, I suggest trying to pick something that you love (could be a color, a theme, or an item) and streamline your holiday home decor around it. Your holiday decor will appear more thought-out and really pop. We loved these holiday decor ideas we found at BHG all inspired by cranberries!
Simple Mantle Decor: Fill glass cylinders with fresh cranberries and white candles. Use different height cylinders and candles for interest.
String cranberries to make a festive garland. Attach to mantle with small hooks.
Take the cranberry decor outside! Line your porch or front step with cranberries atop fake snow in a glass cylinder or other vase.
Carry on the theme by freezing Cranberries into ice cubes to keep your holiday spirits cold.
Simple way to make a bold statement! Glue cranberries to a cardboard cut out of your families last initial. {Tip} Many craft stores sell cardboard letters in various sizes that are very affordable.
Cranberry centerpieces: Glue Cranberries to foam spheres of different sizes. Display atop candle holders, vases, or cake stands.

WOW. I’d never thought to use cranberries as decoration. What fabulous ideas. I’ve filed this away for next year.

Do you know how long they will last for? Weeks? Days?
Hi Meryl, my experience with using cranberries as decor is that they last for weeks! I use them in some capacity every year (whether it be on a wreath, or in a glass vase) and I never have a problem with them going bad. If you use them in a jar or vase and notice on one two looking “not so great” I would simply remove them so the others stay fresh for as long as possible.
Love all these ideas. Thanks for sharing. Also, I’ve never used fresh cranberries for decorating, so I’m glad to hear that they’ve lasted for a while for you.
Thank you for all of the fabulous ideas!! You’ve passed along great inspiration!! Cheers!!

I like to float cranberries in water in mason jars and put white ball candles on top of the jar. You can put some fresh herbs in the water and it makes it really pretty.
I have used cranberries so many times as decoration, but only for a few weeks. Now I want to make ornaments and keep. Is it possible to preserve the cranberries so they don’t rot?
