Why are Christmas bath towels trending?
‘Christmas bath towels offer a fun, unconventional, and quirky way to spruce up your home,’ says Nick Drewe, trend expert from Wethrift. ‘They breathe a unique lease of life into a space that’s often overlooked. Plus, guests love the extra touch, as it shows you’re keen to spread the Christmas spirit throughout the whole home—even the bathroom!’
‘They also come in a wide range of colours, textures, and patterns, so you can match them to any bathroom vibe, whether it’s minimalist, cosy, or full-on festive. They’re an affordable way to refresh your space for the season.’
According to Sarah-Jane Outten, shopping expert at MyVoucherCodes, functionality is the key to the rise in popularity of Christmas bath towels.
‘Purchasing themed everyday items can be an effective low-cost way to add a little bit of festive cheer into your home without spending a fortune – and they are items which can be brought out every year,’ she says.
‘No matter the theme of your bathroom, there are patterns and colours to fit everyone’s taste, whether that’s a minimalist winter decor or a more colourful approach to Christmas. We know that the cost of living crisis is continuing to affect people this Christmas, so seeing people purchasing items that are both festive and functional shows that consumers are thinking carefully about their purchases.’
