The mantel, done
This is what your mantel looks like tonight.
One strand, two hooks, and the room feels like Christmas.
Two-tone real-touch cedar on a bendable wire spine. One 6 ft does a standard mantel — hook the loops, fluff the tips, done.
I put the $100 store garland back on the shelf. This one is just as soft, just as full — and never sat in a store.
Add The Hearthside — $49.95
Why it’s the one
Four reasons it’s the one.

Real up close.
Two-tone tips with a soft real-touch finish, on every spray.

Full from one strand.
One 6 ft does a standard mantel. No picks, no filler.

Holds the drape.
Bendable wire spine. Shape the swag once; it stays.

Back next year.
Nothing to break. Lays flat in its box until next December.
The install
Up in three steps.
1Unbox & fluff.
It ships folded flat. Open the sprays and it fills out.
2Hook the loops.
A twine loop at each end hangs on any hook — mantel, newel post, door frame.
3Shape the drape.
Bend the wire spine to the swag you want. It stays.
Every spot it belongs
Mantel. Banister. Doorway. Table.
Indoor and outdoor — the porch rail and the front door, too. Sold individually, so you order the spots you have.

Same mantel. One strand.

Same kind of real-touch cedar, without the store in between. We sell direct, so the last row is the whole difference.
Worth knowing: last season the stores’ real-touch cedar was gone by October.*

Still deciding?
Questions, answered.
Does it actually look real?
Yes. Two-tone tips, a soft real-touch finish, and a drape like cut greenery. Artificial — it just doesn’t look it.
Is it lit?
No — unlit, no cords, no batteries. Weave in fairy lights if you want the glow.
Can it go outside?
Yes. It’s made for indoor and outdoor Christmas decorating — the porch rail and the front door included.
What’s in the box?
One garland, in the length you choose. The ornaments, ribbon, candles and lights in the photos are styling and aren’t included.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Order by December 15, 2026 and it’s there before Christmas. After that we still ship fast — we just can’t promise the date.
What if I don’t love it?
Send it back within 30 days for a full refund. That’s the whole policy.
