Best 12 Christmas Throws For Every Style

Winter movie nights, hot chocolate and one big blanket to share? These cosy Christmas throws are made for cuddling up on the sofa and settling in for the evening.

Once the dark evenings roll in, having a good throw within grabbing distance of the sofa becomes less of a styling decision and more of a winter necessity. They’re there for Christmas movie marathons, slow afternoons, post-dinner lounging and those nights when everyone agrees it’s cold but nobody wants to be the person who gets up.

A Christmas throw doesn’t need snowflakes and reindeer printed across it to feel festive. Rich reds and greens, fluffy faux fur, cosy fleece and chunky winter textures can all make the sofa feel ready for Christmas, while still looking perfectly at home long after the tree comes down.

We’ve picked some of our favourite throws and blankets for Christmas this year, with everything from traditional winter colours to lighter layers and heated options.

Our Favourite Christmas Throws For 2026

1. The Big One Throw - Wine

Deep wine red already does a lot of the festive work for you. It looks right at home alongside traditional greenery, gold decorations and warm Christmas lights, but isn’t so seasonal that you’ll suddenly want it gone on Boxing Day.

The clue to The Big One Throw in Wine is very much in the name: at 230 x 270cm, it gives you plenty of soft fleece to spread across a sofa, layer over a bed or share during a Christmas film. And by “share”, we obviously mean establish clear blanket boundaries before somebody quietly ends up with 80% of it.

2. Empress Faux Fur Throw - Pine

Pine green is another easy way to make the sofa feel Christmassy without introducing another obvious festive motif. Pair it with your tree, wreath or a couple of red and gold details, and it settles straight into a more traditional December look.

The Empress Faux Fur Throw in Pine has long, soft fibres on the front with a smooth reverse and a comfortable, weighty feel. That plush faux fur texture is especially nice on colder evenings when looking festive is only half the job, and you actually want something warm to disappear underneath.

3. Kallu Faux Fur Throw - Mulberry

If your Christmas decorations lean more jewel-toned than classic red and green, mulberry is a lovely way to bring in richer colour. It works particularly well with plum, burgundy, dark green and warm metallics once the lamps are on and the big light has been respectfully retired for the evening.

The Kallu Faux Fur Throw in Mulberry has plush faux fur on both sides, so there isn’t a disappointing “wrong side” when you actually wrap yourself in it. It feels warm and substantial without being overly heavy, making it easy to keep on the sofa throughout winter rather than treating it as Christmas-only decor.

4. Beni Woven Checked Throw - Moss

There’s something about a check pattern that feels instantly at home in December. The moss green of the Beni Woven Checked Throw gives the pattern a softer woodland feel, especially alongside natural greenery, wood and warmer neutral decorations.

Made from cotton with a contrast check weave and tasselled edges, it’s also a lighter option than the other faux fur throws on this list. That makes it useful if your living room is already fairly warm or you mainly want something over your legs while The Holiday is on rather than full-scale personal hibernation.

5. Luxury Bubble Faux Fur Throw - Cream

Cream faux fur gives you that snowy winter softness without needing actual snowflakes printed across the sofa. It works particularly nicely with warm whites, gold, natural greenery and softer Scandi-style Christmas decorating.

The Luxury Bubble Faux Fur Throw in Cream has a tactile bubble texture and a generous 150 x 200cm size, so it brings plenty of depth to a sofa or bed while still being something you’ll want to curl up under.

6. Luxury Haze Velvet Throw - Plum

Christmas is a good excuse to let richer colours and heavier fabrics have their moment, and plum velvet is very much willing to participate.

The Luxury Haze Velvet Throw in Plum is made from cotton velvet with hand-stitched quilting and a generously weighted finish. Its deep plum shade works beautifully with jewel-toned decorations, warm golds and darker Christmas schemes, while the quilted texture gives it enough presence to feel like part of the room rather than simply the blanket somebody left behind.

7. Carved Faux Fur Throw - Sage

Not every green Christmas throw needs to be deep forest or pine. Sage gives you something softer and more relaxed, which suits natural, woodland-inspired decorating particularly well.

The Carved Faux Fur Throw in Sage is thick and softly weighted, with a carved faux-fur texture that gives the plain colour more depth. It’s an easy way to add another wintery material to the room without making the sofa compete with the tree for attention.

8. Meta Woven Jacquard Throw - Olive

The Meta Woven Jacquard Throw in Olive is for anyone who wants the green without going especially traditional. Its abstract jacquard pattern and faux mohair feel make it a little more contemporary, while the muted olive still sits naturally alongside Christmas greenery.

It’s also a good example of why a throw doesn’t need to look festive on its own. Add a couple of Christmas cushions and the tree nearby and the olive suddenly feels very December. Take those away in January and it goes straight back to being an everyday throw.

9. Candar Textured Bouclé Throw - Cocoa

If your Christmas style is more warm wood, greenery and soft neutrals than red-and-green-everything, cocoa brown makes plenty of sense.

The Candar Textured Bouclé Throw in Cocoa uses a soft bouclé fabric with fringed edges, bringing texture to a sofa without the fluffier look of faux fur. That makes it particularly useful in contemporary or more natural Christmas schemes where you want the room to feel warmer and cosier without every soft furnishing announcing that it’s December. 

10. Silentnight Snugsie Giant Blanket - Green

Some throws are made for one person to curl up under. The Silentnight Snugsie Giant Blanket in Green is more of a whole-family affair, with enough room for everyone to pile onto the sofa for a Christmas film without immediately starting a blanket ownership dispute.

At 270 x 230cm, the Silentnight Snugsie Giant Blanket is properly oversized, with soft Sherpa fleece and enough room for sharing without spending the whole evening quietly tugging your half back. The green colour also feels naturally festive beside the tree, but it’s plain enough to stay out once Christmas is over. 

Add hot chocolate, put something festive on and settle in properly. This is very much a ‘we’re not getting off the sofa for a while’ kind of blanket.

11. Jaipur Waffle Cotton Throw - Olive Green

Not every Christmas evening calls for full hibernation mode. If your house is on the toastier side, or you’re the person kicking the blanket off halfway through the film, a lighter cotton throw can make much more sense.

The Jaipur Waffle Cotton Throw in Olive Green is made from breathable cotton with an oversized waffle texture, so it still brings plenty of softness and interest to the sofa without the heavier feel of faux fur or Sherpa. 

It’s a good one for daytime lounging, Christmas morning with a coffee, or those in-between evenings where you want an extra layer without feeling like you’ve accidentally tucked yourself in for the night.

12. Cable Sherpa Heated Throw - Cream

Then there’s the option for the person who feels the cold on a completely different level to everyone else in the house.

The Cable Sherpa Heated Throw in Cream combines a knitted cable design with a soft Sherpa backing and ten adjustable heat settings. The cream colour keeps it easy to style with Christmas cushions and decorations, while the heated bit handles the rather more important matter of keeping you warm once you settle in.

Put the Christmas film on, choose your setting and accept that getting up again may now require a genuinely compelling reason.

Which Throw Material Is Warmest For Christmas?

If warmth matters as much as how your throw looks, the material makes a real difference.

Faux fur and Sherpa are good places to start if you regularly find yourself saying “it’s freezing in here” while everyone else insists the heating is already on. Fleece gives you plenty of everyday warmth without quite as much bulk, while cotton and waffle throws are better suited to lighter layering.

It’s also worth remembering that the warmest option isn’t automatically the best one for your home. If the living room gets toasty once the heating kicks in, a breathable cotton throw may get far more use than something that has you overheating before Kevin McCallister’s family have even reached the airport.

How To Make A Plain Throw Feel Christmassy

A plain throw can feel every bit as festive as something covered in Santas and candy canes once you look at the sofa as a whole.

Colour is the easiest place to start. Wine, berry and deep red sit naturally with more traditional Christmas decorating, while pine, moss, olive and sage pick up the greenery from your tree and wreaths. Cream faux fur can create a softer snowy look, while plum and mulberry work beautifully with richer jewel tones and warm metallics.

Texture matters too. Faux fur, fleece, velvet and bouclé all bring that heavier winter feeling that instantly makes a sofa more inviting when the evenings get dark.

Then let the obviously festive pieces do the rest. A couple of Christmas cushions can introduce bows, characters or seasonal prints while the throw keeps everything grounded.

Christmas Throws Beyond The Sofa

One might end up over your favourite armchair for a quieter reading spot, while another migrates upstairs once somebody realises the bedroom is colder than the living room. Folded across the end of the bed, a wine, green, plum or cream throw can add another seasonal layer alongside Christmas bedding without adding another obvious festive print.
