A Christmas ornament staple of the '80s and '90s, photo frame ornaments adorned Christmas trees up and down the country come the holiday season. However, fast forward 30 years, and these nostalgic ornaments are having something of a revival. These days, we are increasingly noticing a shift towards the past as many people seek to take inspiration from bygone decades to recreate the look with modern interpretations.
It comes as no surprise that America's favorite TV personality Martha Stewart was one of the first to showcase this style in one of her past Christmas trees – and designers, Main Street stores, and online retailers are taking note.
Anyone keeping an eye on the latest Christmas decor ideas will know that vintage trends and decorations are making a comeback this year. So what's the best way to revisit this aesthetic to create a look that's very now?

Nostalgic decorating has been an interior design trend all year, however, nostalgia always hits hard at Christmas, stirring up memories from the past.
Festive decorations, much like traditions, are often passed from generation to generation. Christmas is also a time to look back and cherish memories from our youth, so, unsurprisingly, more and more people want to decorate with ornaments from a time that brought them so much joy.
