Each illustration has a beautiful textured painted finish, with imperfect brushstrokes, playful shapes and wonderful little details that give the artwork a handmade appearance.

And I love that these prints aren’t overly complicated!
The soft cream and white backgrounds allow the colorful illustrations to really shine.
You can display all six together for a wonderfully coordinated gallery… or choose a few favorites to mix with your own vintage Christmas treasures.
I think this collection would look especially lovely in a cozy cottage, colorful farmhouse, retro inspired living room or cheerful Christmas kitchen.

Six Colorful Retro Christmas Prints
1. Vintage Inspired Colorful Christmas Ornaments
Oh my goodness… this one takes me straight back to those beautiful old glass Christmas ornaments!
Our first print features five gorgeous hanging ornaments in the prettiest shades of bright red, turquoise, coral pink and soft cream.
There is a classic shiny red ball… a long turquoise icicle ornament… and several beautifully shaped pink decorations with delicate painted details.
Little red and turquoise starbursts and tiny colorful dots are scattered around them, creating such a cheerful retro feeling.
I especially love the different ornament shapes.
They remind me of those special Christmas decorations that came out of their boxes every December… the ones that were always handled with extra care because they were so precious.
This would be absolutely beautiful displayed beside a collection of vintage ornaments or colorful bottle brush trees.
2. Three Cheerful Retro Christmas Trees
Oh… these are just TOO CUTE!
Our second print features three wonderfully whimsical Christmas trees, each with its own special personality.
One is a tall, bright red tree decorated with white garlands and little colorful ornaments.
In the center stands a beautiful turquoise green tree covered with tiny cheerful decorations.
And beside it is the sweetest fluffy pink Christmas tree with scalloped branches and delicate red and cream details.
Each tree is topped with a golden star, while little retro starbursts sparkle around the entire arrangement.
I love the combination of different shapes and colors!
This print has such a playful, nostalgic feeling… almost like looking at a collection of little Christmas trees in a vintage department store window.
Wouldn’t this be adorable on a mantel or in a cheerful Christmas kitchen?
3. Vintage Christmas Bells With a Pink Bow
Oh my goodness… I absolutely LOVE the beautiful pink bow on this one!
Our third print features two bright red Christmas bells decorated with soft cream trim and tiny turquoise clappers.
The bells are tied together with an enormous flowing pink ribbon, complete with beautiful curls and delicate painted details.
A little sprig of green holly with red berries sits right in the center of the bow.
And of course, there are cheerful little retro starbursts scattered around the design.
The combination of cherry red and soft peachy pink is simply wonderful!
I think this print has such a lovely old fashioned Christmas card feeling.
It would look absolutely beautiful in a little gold frame, perhaps displayed beside a vintage Santa figurine or some pretty Christmas greenery.
4. The Sweet Pink Retro Christmas Cottage
Oh… I want to move right into this darling little house!
Our fourth print features the sweetest pink cottage with a wonderfully steep snow covered roof.
The little house has a beautiful turquoise front door, glowing windows and a cheerful red chimney.
Tiny colorful Christmas lights decorate the front roofline, while snowy evergreen trees stand beside the house.
And just look at that curving little walkway leading to the front door!
I can almost imagine a warm fire burning inside… Christmas music playing softly… and a beautiful plate of homemade cookies waiting on the kitchen table.
I especially love the soft pink walls against the snowy white roof.
This illustration is such a lovely combination of retro Christmas colors and cozy cottage charm.
I think it would be adorable in a bedroom, hallway or little Christmas gallery wall.
5. The Vintage Pink Christmas Car
Oh my goodness… THIS ONE!
Our fifth print features the most adorable vintage pink car carrying a beautiful Christmas tree home for the holidays!
The long turquoise green tree is secured to the roof with bright red straps, and little colorful ornaments peek through its branches.
The car has wonderful old fashioned details, including whitewall tires, red wheel centers and turquoise windows.
There is even a little wrapped Christmas present tucked inside!
And those bright turquoise snowflakes floating around the car make the entire illustration feel so cheerful.
I love how this one tells a little Christmas story.
Can’t you just imagine a family driving home after picking out the perfect tree?
Perhaps there is Christmas music playing on the radio… the heater is keeping everyone warm… and they are all excited to get home and start decorating.
Such a happy little memory!
This one would be absolutely wonderful in a retro inspired Christmas display.
6. Merry & Bright Retro Christmas Typography
And finally… we have the perfect little message to finish our collection!
MERRY & BRIGHT!
Our sixth print features fabulous vintage inspired Christmas lettering in bold cherry red and beautiful turquoise.
The words have soft pink shadows that give the entire design such a cheerful, dimensional appearance.
Little hanging ornaments, bright starbursts and colorful dots surround the lettering.
I especially love how simple and happy this print feels.
It has that wonderful retro Christmas greeting card personality… the kind that makes you smile the moment you see it.
And isn’t Merry & Bright exactly how we want our homes to feel during the holidays?
I think this would make a fabulous centerpiece for a colorful Christmas gallery wall!
Create a Colorful Retro Christmas Gallery Wall
Oh… I think this collection would be absolutely fabulous displayed together!
Because all six prints share the same cheerful colors and beautiful textured artwork, they make a wonderfully coordinated gallery.
And you have so many different framing options!
For a playful vintage appearance, try mixing little pink, turquoise, red and white frames.
If you prefer something a little more understated, simple natural wood or warm gold frames would also look beautiful.
I especially love the idea of using thrift store frames!
A collection of mismatched vintage frames could give the entire display a charming, collected feeling.
Try arranging the six prints in two rows of three, or three rows of two, depending on the space you have available.
Then add a few colorful bottle brush trees, vintage Christmas ornaments and warm twinkling lights nearby.
Oh my goodness… what a happy little Christmas corner that would make!
Pretty Ways to Decorate With Retro Christmas Printables
One of the nicest things about these prints is how easy they are to use throughout the house.
I think the Christmas Ornaments and Christmas Bells would look beautiful together on a mantel.
The Three Retro Christmas Trees would be adorable on a kitchen shelf beside colorful vintage Christmas decorations.
And that sweet Pink Christmas Cottage?
I would absolutely love to see it tucked into a cozy bedroom or displayed with a collection of little ceramic houses.
The Vintage Pink Christmas Car would be so much fun in an entryway, while the Merry & Bright typography print could add a happy touch to almost any room.
You could even use the smaller 5×7 versions on a tiered tray or tucked between your favorite Christmas decorations.
Sometimes the simplest little additions make the biggest difference!
Mixing Vintage and Modern Christmas Decorations
I especially love that these prints work beautifully with both vintage and modern Christmas decorating.
You don’t need an entirely retro Christmas home to enjoy them!
Try adding a few colorful vintage inspired prints to a room filled with simple white decorations and natural greenery.
Or mix the artwork with your favorite old ornaments, nostalgic Santa figurines and little treasures collected over the years.
The bright colors add personality, while the soft painted appearance keeps everything feeling warm and welcoming.
And isn’t that what makes Christmas decorating so much fun?
We get to combine old memories with new discoveries… creating a home that feels completely our own.
A Few Friendly Printing Tips
Printing your Christmas artwork is wonderfully easy!
- For the prettiest results, I recommend bright white heavyweight cardstock or matte photo paper.
- I especially love a matte finish with this collection because it brings out the textured, hand painted appearance of the illustrations.
- Choose your printer’s Best or High Quality setting to help those bright reds, pretty pinks and beautiful turquoise colors look their very best.
- When printing, choose the correct 5×7 or 8×10 file, and check your print preview to make sure the artwork is positioned properly.
- For the correct finished dimensions, select Actual Size or 100% and trim the surrounding paper if needed.
- And don’t forget… you can also have your prints made at a local print shop if you prefer!
Once your artwork is ready, simply slip it into a favorite frame and enjoy a little retro Christmas magic.
A Sweet Little Christmas Gift Idea
I also think these prints would make the loveliest little Christmas surprises!
Imagine framing the Vintage Pink Christmas Car for someone who loves old fashioned automobiles.
Or the Christmas Ornaments print for a friend who collects vintage decorations.
The Pink Christmas Cottage would be precious for someone who loves cozy farmhouse or cottage decorating.
And the Merry & Bright print would make a cheerful little gift for almost anyone!
Add a pretty ribbon, a handwritten note and perhaps a little vintage ornament.
Sometimes a simple, thoughtful gift can bring so much happiness.
Why We Love Colorful Retro Christmas Decorating
There is something so special about nostalgic Christmas colors.
They remind us of old holiday cards… sparkling glass ornaments… colorful Christmas lights… sweet little decorations and all those wonderful memories from childhood.

It is simply about surrounding ourselves with things that bring joy.
And I think these six little prints do exactly that.
I hope our Free Printable Retro Colorful Christmas Wall Art Gallery brings a little extra happiness, nostalgia and holiday magic into your home!
I just love how these six illustrations celebrate some of the sweetest little details of Christmas.
The beautiful ornaments… The colorful Christmas trees… The cheerful bells… The cozy little cottage… The vintage car carrying home a special tree…
And that wonderful reminder to keep everything Merry & Bright!
Together, they create such a happy little collection.
So print your favorites… find a few pretty frames… add some twinkling lights and enjoy a little vintage inspired Christmas charm.
