Your Savvy Guide to Hygge-Inspired Living This Holiday Season
Hygge is more than a vibe; it’s peak cozy luxury. This Danish tradition focuses on warmth, togetherness, and creating a home that’s super comfy. During the holidays, it’s mulled cider in your favorite mug, warm knits wrapped tight, and candles flickering while snow swirls outside. Add some jams you love, glowing lights, and of course, fresh flowers. Winter faves such as amaryllis and ranunculus pop in bright tones, keeping spirits amped up and spaces merry. Hygge is living beauty in every detail, and at Busch’s Florist in Jefferson City, Missouri, we’re ready to help bring this glow-up into your home with blossoms that make your season shine.
Savvy Steps to Create Hygge
Enjoy Mother Nature and Bring the Best of the Outside Indoors
Hygge tells us to find meaning in the moment, even when the world is straight up frozen. Winter may feel brittle, but it actually has a crisp kind of magic. Take walks on snowy paths, build a snowman (Elsa style), or simply admire sparkling icicles. Let nature remind you to notice it! Back inside, weave that feeling into your space. Poinsettias, evergreens, pinecones, berries, and fresh blooms flawlessly cozy things up while keeping it cute. Hygge means staying connected and grateful for little pleasures, like a pretty snowflake or a vase filled with colorful flowers.
Turn Your Home Into a Comfortable, Cozy Environment
A comfy home is key for proper hygge. Start by layering things like soft blankets and warm socks with your go-to hot drink in hand. Add lighting — candles, string lights, or a soft lamp — to set the mood. Then, zhuzh up the whole space with fresh winter blooms. Magnolias, poinsettias, white hydrangeas, or roses (or all of the above!) understand the assignment. Aim for creating that dreamy, cozy haven that feels posh yet inviting, a place where you’ll happily curl up for hours and soak in the joy of the season.
Spend Time and Be Present With Loved Ones
Holidays should prioritize presence, not presents, right? Time with your people is what makes the season amazing. Whether you’re hosting a low-key dinner party, crafting with friends, or sipping cocoa during a silly holiday movie binge, those shared moments are hygge in action. So, cancel the chaos, close the laptop, and plug instead into human connection. Bonus: fresh flowers or a seasonal centerpiece on your table instantly ups the fresh factor. Hygge is about warmth, laughter, and chillaxing, and with the right people around, you’ve got all three.
Enjoy Festive Treats & Favorite Holiday Meals
We 100 percent love the holidays, especially since there’s food involved. From gourmet truffles to grandma’s sugar cookies, every bite feels like a hug. We recommend savoring it all — the warmth, the sweetness, the laughter at the table; indulging is part of the magic. Pour another mug of cocoa, sneak a cookie, and live fully in the moment. Bonus points for sending a basket of seasonal goodies to the people you love. It spreads joy, connection, and seriously good vibes.
Indulge in a Relaxing Hobby
Relaxing hobbies are a huge part of hygge holiday Zen. Grab your current read and sink into your happy spot, or indulge in creative crafting that makes you lose track of time. Better yet, treat yourself to fresh winter flowers; they’re mood boosters and décor perfection. Their colors and fragrance bring serenity and inspo to your space, allowing you to rest, breathe, and appreciate every little thing. How are you keeping your glow going this winter?
Holiday hygge is our jam at Busch’s Florist. We believe in grounding yourself, surrounding your space with beauty, and keeping it full of warmth, love, and fresh flowers that turn every moment into something cozy and unforgettable.
