It’s official: Christmas has landed at IKEA, and it’s more affordable than ever. With permanent price drops on over 400 items, the Swedish home giant is making holiday decorating and gifting easy on the wallet without scrimping on style. Leading the way are two festive collections: VINTERFINT, a playful lineup of décor and dining pieces inspired by Swedish traditions but reimagined for modern homes, and STRÅLA, a lighting range that captures the magic of starlight with energy-efficient LED designs. Whether you’re decking out your dining table, cozying up your living room, or hunting for budget-friendly gifts, these collections are designed to bring all the holiday feels, minus the overspending.
Tight on space but still want your holiday corner to look festive? This 95-cm (37 ½ “) IKEA VINTERFINT artificial tree is your answer. Tiny enough for apartments, big enough for all your decor, and zero stress because it’s plastic with 50% recycled materials, so it looks fresh year after year. At under P1,000, this budget-friendly Christmas glow-up is exactly what your space needs.
Gustaf Westman’s ceramic creations are now available in the Philippines, and you can find them on IKEA shelves. This cup and saucer isn’t just pretty decor on your Christmas spread, it’s practical, too. The oversized saucer can hold your snacks or spoons while the neat cup is perfect for mulled wine, espresso, or the classic hot chocolate. Bonus: This also comes in pink if green’s not your vibe.
Your Christmas spread deserves a side of style, and this piece is highly Instagrammable. This red-and-green checkered tablecloth instantly gives your dining setup classic festive vibes. It’s also machine washable, so you can reuse it next year without guilt.
This glass bottle with a stopper isn’t just for your holiday tablescape, it works all year round. The dark green ribbed design makes it chic enough to double as decor, while it’s practical for storing water, juice, smoothies, or whatever drink you like straight from the fridge. At this price, you’ll want to snag a few extras to give as holiday gifts.
What’s a holiday setup without a touch of festive lighting? The STRÅLA pendant lamp is Instagram-pretty and hard to pass up. Its slim brass wires with built-in lights look like fireworks or sparklers frozen in time—and you can bend them in any direction for extra flair. Plus, it’s battery-operated with a built-in timer that automatically switches off after six hours, so you can set it and forget it.
Take your Christmas feast up a notch with the STRÅLA LED lighting chain. Scatter these tiny diodes across the noche buena table for a warm, festive glow that feels like mini fireworks. But they’ll look just as good as decor anywhere in the house. Since they’re battery-operated with an auto shut-off after six hours, you can enjoy the vibe worry-free.
If you love the classic Christmas tree vibe (and the joy of piling gifts underneath), the STRÅLA table lamp is a must-grab from IKEA. It casts a soft, glowing light that instantly makes your space feel warm and welcoming. Just note: the cord set and bulb are sold separately.
Brighten up your space with this festive STRÅLA lamp shade. Hang it by the window to spread holiday cheer, or keep it in your bedroom for cozy vibes. Just a heads-up: you’ll need the STRÅLA table lamp base and a separate bulb to complete the look.
The IKEA Christmas Shop is now open. Discover the VINTERFINT and STRÅLA collections at IKEA Mall of Asia and online, and let your holidays begin with inspiration you’ll want to bring home.
