Add fresh flowers in red, white, or burgundy. Roses and carnations are good choices for Christmas. Or use flowers in a color that coordinates with your room decor such as pink or yellow.

For an arrangement with a longer life, try adding artificial flowers, pine cones, holiday ornaments or floral picks.
