What Is a Ralph Lauren Christmas?

What Is a Ralph Lauren Christmas? And Why Is Everyone Obsessed?

 

If you’ve been anywhere on TikTok, Pinterest, or Teacher Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen “Ralph Lauren Christmas” popping up everywhere, and we’re loving it! While it may feel like the internet’s newest festive obsession, the truth is… this cozy, classic holiday aesthetic is anything but new!

A Ralph Lauren Christmas is rooted in timeless traditions… rich tartan plaids, deep reds and forest greens, Fair Isle sweater patterns, twinkle lights, and that warm, slightly magical feeling of Christmas from when we were kids. The kind of Christmas you remember from being in your elementary classroom where the TV rolled in on a squeaky cart, you watched holiday movies on VHS, snacked on paper plates of cookies, and sang your heart out at your winter concert under string lights and construction-paper snowflakes.

We romanticize "Christmas when we were in elementary school"  running off the bus with pockets full of candy, counting down to winter break, and feeling like the season itself wrapped us in magic. And now, as teachers, we don’t just want to feel that nostalgia, we want to create it for our students. We want our classrooms to feel cozy, cheerful, and filled with that same unforgettable holiday joy!

And that’s exactly where a Ralph Lauren Christmas comes into your classroom!
