Advent Decorations 2020 / Christmas Decorations 2020

Dear users, dear authors,
here you can download the new favorites for your Advent decorations 2020 + your Christmas decorations 2020 right away. Have fun making them.

@Authors,
no quantity limit. Don’t forget links, pictures, info, etc.

You can set up a Christmas nativity scene as early as Advent and use it to tell the Christmas story as an Advent calendar, adding a new element each day. On December 24, the Christ Child is then placed in the nativity scene.

You can crochet the figures for your nativity scene yourself using your leftover yarn. They’ll be about 10 cm tall, which makes them the perfect size: big enough to add lovely details, but not so big that they take up too much space.
You can follow these patterns:

Holy Family (Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus) with manger, Christmas star, ox, and donkey


3 different shepherds, sheep (lying down), sheep (standing), Christmas angel


The Three Wise Men with their pack animals: camel, elephant, horse

If you start crocheting now, you’re sure to have your complete nativity scene by Christmas.

Angels are an absolute must during Advent and Christmas!

Here, a cute heavenly orchestra has been created from leftover yarn. The little chubby angels are about 8 cm tall. Each one plays a different instrument.


This guardian angel nightlight is a bit larger, at 20 cm. The crocheted angel stands over a battery-powered LED lamp that can be controlled with a remote. This lets you choose between warm white and colored light and adjust the brightness and how long it stays on.
This angel isn’t just an atmospheric decoration during Advent—it’s also a comforting nightlight for children who don’t like falling asleep in the dark.

Ho ho ho, here comes Santa Claus!
Huh? He looks completely different!
Oh right:
There, now it’s right!
The reversible doll “Nikolausi-Osterhasi”is a fun decoration that you can use during Advent as well as at Easter. By simply turning it inside out, St. Nicholas transforms into the Easter Bunny and vice versa. You can easily crochet the doll from leftover yarn.

And you can also use this St. Nicholas decoration as an Advent calendar:


Santa Claus with sleigh and reindeer are not permanently attached to each other. This way, you can arrange them a little differently each day and fill the sack or the sleigh with a little surprise.

And the breakfast table should be decorated for Christmas during Advent, too. These cute egg cozies (St. Nicholas, snowman, and Christmas angel) make it very easy and practical, and you can crochet them quickly from a few bits of leftover yarn. Even if you don't eat breakfast eggs, you can use them as table decorations.
Tip: The 3 also make a wonderful little Secret Santa gift or small present to bring along.
