Target's newest December arrivals offer a mix of festive decor, cold-weather essentials, and cheerful gifts that make the season feel special without overspending. For many, the holiday season is a time to gather family, refresh the home, and find small luxuries that make winter a little cozier.

Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Threshold Tree Christmas Hand Towels Cream
Price: $10.00
Target's newest holiday hand towels add instant charm to any bathroom or kitchen. The embroidered trees feel classic rather than flashy, making them a smart seasonal pick that still blends with everyday décor.
Similar embroidered towels at Pottery Barn start around $30 to $40 each, making Target's $10 set a pleasantly affordable swap that holds up wash after wash.
A New Day Pave Star Stretch Bracelet
Price: $14.99
This delicate bracelet adds a little sparkle to holiday outfits without feeling gaudy. The stretch band slips on easily and looks more expensive than it is. It's perfect for elevating your look this holiday season or for gifting someone a budget-friendly buy that looks much more expensive.
Pop & Bottle Peppermint Matcha Almond Milk Latte
Price: $3.49
If you love festive flavors but prefer something lighter than traditional holiday drinks, this new peppermint matcha latte is a standout. Similar bottled matcha lattes at Whole Foods usually cost $3.99, making Target's pricing a comfortable few cents cheaper for a sweet treat.
Universal Thread Cozy Alpine Faux Fur Trapper Hat
Price: $25.00
This winter-ready trapper hat adds both warmth and vintage charm. The faux-fur lining is exceptionally soft and blocks wind surprisingly well, making it great for winter walks or holiday travel. Comparable trapper hats at outdoor retailers like Sheepskin Town run $85 or more, so this cozy option is an affordable way to stay warm in style.
GEMS 3' USB-C to USB-C Christmas Lights Cable
Price: $5.00
Charging cables aren't usually festive, but this one changes that with a string of tiny lights that glow while you charge. Similar-sized Christmas light strings on Amazon often cost around $10, so $5 feels like a bargain for a practical stocking stuffer that adds a bit of cheer.
Wondershop Christmas Roll Wrap Green/Blue Plaid
Price: $5.00
This new plaid wrapping paper offers a classic winter look without being overly themed. The thick material means fewer tears while wrapping. Specialty gift-wrap stores like Paper Mart charge a fortune per inch for similar durable prints, making this stylish option kinder to your holiday budget.
A New Day Women's Long Sleeve Party Cardigan Sweater
Price: $35.00
This new cardigan is showing up in plenty of December party outfits thanks to its adorable bows and soft fabric. Compared to similar bow cardigans at Macy's for $60 to $80, Target's version delivers a polished look at a friendlier price.
Happy Beauty Days 12-Day Advent Calendar Gift Set
Price: $20.00
This new beauty advent calendar packs in a dozen self-care surprises, from lotions to bath treats. It's a fun way to enjoy small indulgences throughout December on a budget. Similar beauty advent calendars at Anthropologie are $138, so this $20 set offers excellent value for the variety.
Threshold Quilted Stitch Decorative Basket
Price: $10.00
A handy storage upgrade, this basket's quilted design adds elegance and soft texture to entryways, bathrooms, or living rooms. Comparable decorative bins that look half as good at Walmart, and cost nearly $14, Target's price offers solid everyday value.

Absolute Sleigh Special Edition Owala
Price: $27.99 (on sale from $34.99)
Owala bottles are loved for their easy-sip design, and this special-edition holiday version brings festive flair. These Target-exclusive Owalas are already re-selling for over $70 on eBay, so if you want this, you'd better grab it fast.
Lindt Christmas Teddy Bear Chocolate Candy Advent Calendar
Price: $13.49
Lindt's new calendar offers gourmet chocolates in a cute teddy bear theme. The same exact Advent calendar is sold at World Market for $17.99, making this $13.49 Target price a great way to stretch your holiday budget without giving up quality name brands.
Threshold Ceramic Tree Green
Price: $15.00
Vintage-style ceramic trees are back in style, and this green version is a charming nod to mid-century holiday décor. It works well as a mantel accent or dining table centerpiece. Shoppers are leaving raving reviews for this item, saying it's "Great quality. And so cute. Very nostalgic looking."
Wondershop Christmas Faux Shearling Gingerbread Stocking
Price: $20.00
This cozy new stocking blends nostalgic gingerbread styling with a classic Christmas must-have, giving your mantel a warm, homey feel. Pottery Barn sells a similar stocking for $35, so Target's $20 version brings the charm without the boutique price.
Bottom line
Target's newest December arrivals offer a useful mix of decor, clothing, gifts, and seasonal treats, perfect for shoppers hoping to save more on everyday essentials without sacrificing style or quality.
Thoughtful price comparisons and shopper reviews can help you find the sweet spot between value and convenience. Making a plan before you go, checking Circle app promotions, and shopping early in the month can also help you stretch your dollars further while still enjoying the season.
