You may be asking yourself, “What is PINKMAS”?. Well, I’m here to tell you. “Pinkmas” as referred to by Tiktok is only the best Christmas theme of all time. It mixes the best holiday (obviously) with the best color, pink, and all the feminine, girly things that you can think of. Only recently did it start to become a phenomenon on the social media app. As you can probably tell, I myself am a pinkmas girly and I am quite the expert on all of the aspects that you need to know about. 

Bows: one of the biggest requirements in Pinkmas is bows. Bows on everything and everywhere, specifically pink ones. They make for good DIY tree ornaments as well as a tree topper for the extra cherry on top. They look adorable on your wreaths as well. Not to mention they need to be on every gift possible.

Ballet: another big one with this theme is the ballet element. A lot of the inspiration comes from “The Nutcracker”. There are tons of ballet-inspired ornaments to adjourn your perfect pinkmas-inspired tree with. From ballerinas to ballet slippers, every pinkmas tree must have one.

Sparkle: overall this theme requires sparkle over all else. No matter in what aspect, sparkle is a must. 

Nutcrackers: nutcrackers have become another huge obsession within this theme in particular. Since the theme takes so much inspiration from the play of the same name it’s only fitting you have some pink nutcrackers too.

Gingerbread: is yet another obsession that comes into play. When decorating your gingerbread houses and gingerbread men this year you must include pink icing and details fit for a princess.

Ribbon: Ribbon is another must when it comes to decorating, especially throughout the tree.
