Few things define the holidays as much as family. Whether large or small, creating festive spaces for gatherings and celebrations is a key part of gearing up for the Christmas season. Homemaker and farmhouse-décor stylist Sharon Brandt enjoys making her home cozy and inviting all year, but especially at Christmastime.

Each year, American Farmhouse Style hosts a Christmas tree contest, and blogger Lynn Langford of At Home in the Wildwood was the 2023 holiday season winner who now gets her tree featured in the magazine. “To me, this tree is the magic of Christmas, seen through the eyes of children,” she says of her winning Christmas tree.

When you have fond memories of vacationing with your family as a kid, sometimes you just have to recreate them when you’re grown up. That was the case for blogger and Instagrammer Janice Morrow of Fig and Twigs, who decided with her husband, Bill, to build a mountain getaway in the charming vacation town of Big Bear Lake, California. “I remember being up in Big Bear with my family as a child,” Janice says. “I wanted to get back to being in the mountains.” Now their custom 6,500-square-foot cabin has ultimate farmhouse charm, perfect for hosting family during the fall.
