It’s November, and you know what that means — holiday music is starting to play on radio stations, Dunkin’ and Starbucks have officially released their holiday menus, houses are starting to glow with sparkling lights, and stores are overflowing with garlands, ornaments, and all things glittery. Along with the return of peppermint, pine, and snowflakes comes one of the most underrated joys of the season: festive accessorizing. And if you’re looking for ways to become more decked out this holiday season, I have just the thing to elevate any festive looks: holiday press-on nails. They’re simple, budget-friendly, and above all: glamorous.
The holidays are both the most wonderful time of the year and the busiest. Between holiday parties, travel, work shifts, and the chaos of finals season, it’s almost impossible to make time for a nail appointment. But a packed schedule is no excuse to not have gorgeous nails, especially when press-ons exist. Trust me: Slipping on a cute holiday press-on set will have everyone you know inspired to add press-ons to their own wishlist this year. Even better, press-ons make it effortless to match the vibe of literally any holiday event. Want something soft and girly? Try pink snowflake nails. Prefer something bold and classic? Red and green sets never go out of style. No matter your aesthetic, there’s a set out there that’ll make you feel like the main character of your own Hallmark movie. So if you’re ready to elevate your seasonal glam without spending all of your budget, here are 14 of the best holiday press-on nails for the 2025 holiday season.
