As a Target-Obsessed Shopping Writer, My Cart Is Overflowing With Black Friday Christmas Decor Steals

For me, the holiday season truly begins when Target reveals its Christmas decorations. My best friend and I are so excited, we text each other the moment we spot them online (or in-store). Then we start planning what to grab, always trying to keep it under control. As die-hard Target fans, we've discovered that the best time to snag new trees, decor, and more is just before Black Friday.

Every year, I’m convinced that Target’s decorations are fantastic. But this year, I feel like they've outdone themselves. My favorite pieces combine vibrant, playful designs with timeless classics, and it seems that Target had the same idea while curating this year's collection. Between what I've already bought and what's still on my wishlist, here are the top eight deals you absolutely shouldn't miss at Target right now.

Continue reading to explore the best of the best.

Northlight 5-Inch Red Cardinal Christmas Ornament

A red cardinal is a classic holiday icon, and this clip-on cardinal ornament is the ideal finishing touch for my Christmas tree. Just clip it onto a branch, wreath, or garland to add a festive touch to the greenery. It's also a great way to fill in 'empty' spots between branches.

Northlight 24-Piece Shatterproof Four-Finish Ornament Set

I adore the timeless charm of glass ornaments, but I usually avoid putting them on my tree for fear they’ll shatter. This 24-piece set takes that worry away; the ornaments have the look of glass but are made from durable plastic. The mix of glittery, matte, and glossy finishes is another perk, and I love how the gold accents beautifully complement trees and wreaths or stand out on their own in a centerpiece bowl. While it’s on sale, each ornament costs just 79 cents.

Northlight 2-Foot Traditional Mini Artificial Christmas Tree

If you’re like me and love spreading holiday cheer throughout every room, you’ll definitely want to grab a mini artificial Christmas tree. This adorable tree would make a sweet addition to a child’s room, where they can decorate it with their favorite ornaments (or a set like this one). It’s equally perfect for brightening up an entryway table in your foyer. For just $17, you really can’t go wrong.

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia 21-Inch Preserved Grass Leaf & Snowberry Wreath

This beautiful mixed greenery wreath looks incredibly lifelike, and it's hard to believe it's only $43 during the early Black Friday sale. The preserved grass and snowberry details lend a rustic charm, making it perfect either on its own or decorated with ornaments. Target suggests using this wreath indoors for the best effect, and it would look stunning above your mantel or hanging on a window.

Costway 7-Foot Pre-lit Artificial Christmas Tree

Target’s sale on artificial Christmas trees is still going strong, but the best models tend to sell out fast by Black Friday. Get ahead of the rush and grab this 7-foot tree now. It comes with a base that can be dressed up with a tree skirt, and the pieces fit together to form a realistic look, complete with hinged branches that you’ll want to fluff out. Pre-lit for your convenience, you can also choose between white or multi-colored light options.

Target Christmas decorations usually have the most stock at the beginning of the season, but I expect inventory and sales to start thinning out after Black Friday. So while you still have time, make sure to snag your soon-to-be favorite pieces and add them to your growing collection. Be sure to take advantage of Target’s sale now, and keep scrolling for even more fantastic finds.
