The Marilyn: A Designer Christmas Look You Can Install Yourself
You install. We design. That is the simplest way to explain Christmas in a Box® by Baker Design Group. Our team has spent more than 20 years leading Christmas interior design in Dallas for homes, hotels and corporate offices. Christmas in a Box packages that expertise into a format you can install yourself.
This is not a bundle of ornaments pulled off a shelf. Our Christmas designers have already done the creative work for you. They chose the palette, paired every ornament, spray and ribbon, and scaled the look so it reads like a professional installation. You receive a designer’s completed vision, and you decide when it goes up.
Here’s how it works. Choose a color theme and build your box from coordinating pieces: a tree ornamentation package, a decorated wreath, garland and drop. Orders ship nationwide, or you can pick up locally in Dallas. Every order comes with our video guide of professional tips and tricks. Everything is yours to keep and reuse season after season.
For 2026, meet one of our newest designer-curated themes.
Meet The Marilyn: Classic Christmas with a Modern Glamour
The Marilyn is classic Christmas with a glamorous point of view.
Rich Christmas red meets champagne gold, shimmering silver, layered greenery, berries, oversized ornaments, glittered botanicals and luxurious velvet ribbon. The palette is instantly recognizable as Christmas. The scale, texture and layering give it the polished finish you would expect from a professional Christmas interior designer.
The result is festive without feeling juvenile, glamorous without losing warmth, and traditional without feeling dated. That balance is exactly why The Marilyn feels so right for Christmas 2026.
Why Red, Gold & Silver Christmas Décor Is Trending for 2026
After several seasons of quiet neutrals and restrained holiday styling, Christmas décor is moving back toward warmth, nostalgia and personality. Trend reporting for 2026 points to fuller trees, layered ornamentation, traditional reds, statement bows and décor that feels collected rather than sparse.
Messe Frankfurt, the organizer of the Christmasworld trade fair, names wine and burgundy reds among the colors of the season. It pairs them with metallic accents in gold, silver and bronze. Designers are also mixing metals more freely than before. Champagne, gold and silver now share the same tree instead of staying in separate camps.
The Marilyn brings those ideas together in one cohesive collection. Champagne and gold add warmth, silver adds sparkle and contrast, and saturated red keeps the whole palette grounded in Christmas tradition. The oversized ornaments, jeweled details, berries and abundant ribbon also deliver something that matters in a larger space: visual impact from across the room.
The Marilyn for Commercial Christmas Decorating
If you manage the office, lead marketing, or oversee a property, you already know that holiday décor shapes how clients, guests and residents experience your space. The Marilyn pairs traditional red with elevated metallics. The look feels familiar and welcoming, and it still has the sophistication a commercial environment calls for.
The Marilyn is well suited for:
- Corporate offices and reception areas
- Hotels and hospitality spaces
- Car dealerships
- Country clubs
- Apartment and residential communities
- Retail environments and restaurants
- Banks and financial offices
- Medical and professional offices
A large Marilyn tree can anchor a lobby or reception area. Coordinating wreaths on glass doors, garlands along staircases and railings, and drops at entry columns carry the look through the space. Guests get one cohesive holiday experience, and the design reads beautifully both up close and across a large room.
The Marilyn in Residential Christmas Design
At home, The Marilyn is just as versatile. It can become the focal point of a living room, foyer, staircase, dining room or entry. The tree establishes the palette, and coordinating wreaths, garlands and drops let the design continue naturally throughout the house.
Against a light, neutral interior, the red creates beautiful contrast while the metallics reflect light and add dimension. In a darker or more traditional home, the champagne, silver and glittered elements keep the palette from feeling heavy.
The Marilyn is made for homeowners who love traditional Christmas colors but want their home to feel professionally designed, not simply decorated. You don’t have to figure out which ornaments work together, how many pieces you need, or how to build the layered look. We’ve already set the design direction for you.
What’s in The Marilyn Collection
Decorate one focal point or carry the theme through the entire space. Each piece is designed in the same signature palette, so everything works together:
- The Ornamentation Package (for your tree): pre-wired ornaments, pre-made bows and pre-cut floral stems, tailored to 7.5′, 9′ or 12′ trees.
- The Decorated Wreath: a 30″ statement piece for doors, glass entries or mantels.
- The Decorated Garland: a 6′ unlit garland for staircases, railings, mantels and doorways.
- The Decorated Drop: a 30″ finishing touch for banisters, columns and entries.
The tree and tree skirt are not included, so you can style the collection around what you already have.

Not every home or business needs a full-service Christmas installation. That is exactly where Christmas in a Box comes in.
