Christmas window boxes can be classic with evergreen branches, red berries, pinecones, and a plaid bow, or take a cooler turn with blue and silver ornaments, frosted pine, and silvery eucalyptus. Fruit, lanterns, twinkling lights, hanging ornaments, and even playful snowman accents add shape and personality, while black planters and clean ribbon details give holiday greenery a more modern edge.
