Preparing for Christmas in a campervan can pose a challenge due to limited storage space. However, there are still plenty of ways to add some holiday cheer to your mobile home without lugging around a ton of decorations. Whether you prefer a simple setup or want to go all out, we have some suggestions that will make your campervan feel more Christmassy this year.
Love it or hate it, tinsel is an undeniable Christmas staple. It’s inexpensive, available in various colors, and won’t take up much space in your campervan. Wrap it around the arms and legs of your awning to instantly give your outdoor space a festive touch. And don’t forget to get creative inside your van if you’re a fan of tinsel’s festive vibe.
You can’t go past a Christmas tree for adding Christmas to your setup. You don’t need a towering tree to embrace the Christmas vibe. There are plenty of small Christmas tree options available that will fit perfectly in your campervan. Choose a traditional mini tree or opt for a modern wooden Christmas tree or light Christmas tree. If space is still an issue, consider printing a picture of a tree you like and putting it in a nice frame or attaching it to your fridge with magnets. You can even find Christmas-themed magnets to add to the festive feel.
Changing up your campervan’s linens is an easy way to incorporate both functionality and decoration. Look for Christmas-themed cushions, doona covers, blankets, sheets, towels, and teatowels. These items are essential for daily use, making them a practical way to embrace the holiday spirit.
Get creative with your Christmas food and beverages. You don’t have to cook an extravagant roast; sometimes, it’s all about presentation. Arrange your food in the shape of a Christmas tree or wreath. Add festive touches with sprigs of rosemary, mint, or thyme. For drinks, go for red or green beverages or simply garnish your favorite drink with rosemary sprigs, mint, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, lime, or watermelon.

Your cups and plates are essential, so why not opt for ones with a subtle Christmas theme? Look for Christmas-themed tableware, cups or glasses, serving boards, and serviettes to enhance the holiday ambiance when dining in your campervan.
Remember, you can choose how much or how little you want to decorate your campervan this Christmas. Finding multi-functional items that serve both a purpose and add a festive touch is the key to making the most of your limited space. Let these ideas inspire you to bring a little more Christmas into your campervan this year.
