festive decorations

Seasonal celebratory trimmings

Festive decorations are ornaments and adornments displayed during holidays or celebrations.

Christmas trees, string lights, banners, and balloons all qualify.

The phrase often appears in retail contexts: The store put up festive decorations in early November.

What counts as festive depends on the occasion—jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, red hearts for Valentine's Day.
