Red is definitely one of the most popular hair color trends during the end-of-year festivities and adding shades of gold gives it that extra sparkle. It also shows your excitement for the holiday, taking Christmas to a whole new level.

• Silver

For the longest time, silver has been associated with elegance, making it a staple color during the Xmas holidays. This year, silverware sets, shiny silver vases, and silver candle holders will be more common during family gatherings. Try incorporating silver-dusted pine cones and other Christmas decor to give a more eclectic look and dazzling effect.

Pink is one of those fashion color trends that is never going out of style. For people who are gravitating toward lighter colors this holiday, pink is a perfect choice. Not only is it a trendy color for all occasions, but one that stands out. 

Furthermore, a little attention during Christmas wouldn’t hurt!

What other way to give this holiday a dramatic cheer than by adorning outdoor decorations in beautiful hues of purple?

Purple is a bold color often associated with royalty. It pairs exceptionally well with metallic and silver accents for that shimmery effect. Adding purple roses and purple Christmas balls to your decor not only adds sparkle to your space but also creates an eye-catching set-up.
