Epiphany Decorations: Brighten Your Home for the Season

If you love understated nativities, this Willow Tree set is a refined choice for mantels and shelves. During our review of the line, the hand-painted resin figures looked gift-ready, and the compact sizes (tallest about 9.5 inches) make arranging them effortless in smaller spaces. Note that you only get six small figures, so you may want to add complementary pieces later for a fuller display. The cream and blue-gray tones blend easily with modern, rustic, or traditional Epiphany decor.

Elegant and compact, the Lenox First Blessing Holy Family—Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus—looks refined on a side table or credenza; during our review, the hand-painted details and 24K gold accents stood out. The ivory porcelain finish coordinates easily with candles and greenery for a cohesive Epiphany vignette. Because porcelain and gilding are delicate, keep it indoors and place away from high-traffic spots. Pricing is on the premium side for a small three-piece set, but the collectible quality is evident.

Looking for a family-friendly nativity, we found Fontanini’s 5-inch set hits the sweet spot: hand-painted, old-world sculpting on durable polymer figures that won’t worry you around kids. The included Italian-style wooden stable—with moss and bark details—means you’re display-ready out of the box, ideal for mantels or bookshelves. Keep expectations on scale; at 5 inches, it may feel small in a large room, and it’s indoor-only. The price is higher than mass-market sets, but the craftsmanship and longevity justify it.

We found the Bethlehem Star topper casts a lovely, warm glow through its pearlescent Capiz shells, and the pre-lit design means no fussing with extra strands. Lightweight construction and a coil or pole base made it easy to balance on our tree during testing. Handle with care—Capiz and trim can be fragile, and it’s intended for indoor use only; some users report wiring aging over time. For a luminous focal point, it delivers big impact with minimal effort.

This Nature Edition Moravian star brings a peaceful glow to indoor Epiphany gatherings. We found the kit thoughtfully complete: 25 spikes, clamps, a suspension bar, a 4m white cable, and an LED bulb, so you can assemble and hang it right away with the included manual. The hand-assembled paper is delicate and for indoor use only, and the 220/230V Europlug may require a converter for U.S. outlets. The Forget-Me-Not blue color feels fresh while staying true to Moravian tradition.

Swap out a tired topper for this Kurt Adler Bethlehem star that gives a bright, classic glow. We found the 10 clear incandescent bulbs throw warm light, and the included spare bulbs and fuses make upkeep painless through the season. The lightweight build can sit top-heavy on some trees, so plan to secure it with tie wire; some pieces also show visible glue or glitter shedding. Best for indoor use on mid-size trees when you want a traditional gold/capiz look.

For collectors of Willow Tree, these hand-painted resin figures integrate seamlessly; in our testing, the 8.5-inch tallest wise man matched the scale of our existing nativity perfectly. The cream, sculpted look feels serene on a mantel or sideboard, and the set arrives gift-ready with an enclosure card. Because the delicate paint and resin can chip and don’t like moisture, we recommend gentle, indoor-only placement. At around one hundred dollars, it’s a considered buy, but the craftsmanship and cohesion stand out.

These Fontanini Magi bring rich color and heirloom character to a 5-inch scale nativity. We found the Italian-made polymer surprisingly durable and chip-resistant, making the hand-painted details safe for curious kids to admire. Keep in mind the figures are on the smaller side and not intended for outdoor use, so they're best displayed on a protected shelf. The white, gold, deep blue, and earth tones complement most creche scenes without visually overwhelming the Holy Family.

Looking to make your nativity the centerpiece, we found this three-piece Roman set does it with ease. The clear acrylic kings mounted on camels stand about 11 inches tall, catching light beautifully while staying lightweight for safe tabletop or mantle display. During our review, the cohesive look felt elegant and durable for indoor use, though it’s not suitable outdoors. The price is on the higher side, but if you want a striking, unified trio without heavy handling worries, it delivers.

We love this Three Kings Gifts set for its authenticity—during our review, the hand-blown orb with real 23k gold flakes and the frankincense and myrrh from Dofar, Oman became instant conversation pieces. The antique wood boxes with brass accents and red satin lining look refined on a shelf or altar, and a certificate plus display card add context. Just know the boxes are relatively small and meant for indoor viewing. If you have a modest display space, the compact footprint is perfect.

Looking for a simple way to mark Epiphany at home? During our review, we liked that this $4 digital download folds into a small blessing booklet with guided prayer and space for personal reflections, making it perfect for a cozy family ritual. Because it's black and white, you can add your own coloring, but keep in mind you'll need to print and assemble it yourself and there are no refunds on digital items. Ideal for quick, meaningful prep without waiting on shipping.

Our experience shows Root’s hand-dipped tapers are a reliable choice for holiday dinners and church services—beeswax-enhanced wax burns cleanly and is virtually dripless when used indoors. The satin-like finish and consistent color look refined in candleholders, and a box of 12 means you’re covered for multiple gatherings. If you only need a few, the bulk pack may feel like overkill, and they’re not ideal outdoors where wind causes uneven burning. Pair them with sturdy holders for the best results.

Elevate your candlelight with hand-dipped beeswax tapers that lend a soft honey aroma and traditional finish. Our experience shows pure beeswax burns cleanly and pairs beautifully with classic candlesticks, and this pair is convenient for mantel or table settings. They can drip in drafts and cost more than paraffin tapers, so use draft shields or place them away from vents. The blue color adds a serene, Epiphany-ready hue for evening prayers or festive dinners.

For a true statement centerpiece, Michael Aram's palm candleholders bring sculptural drama and artisan detail in a set of two. During our review, the weighted marble bases felt reassuringly stable on tabletops, while the antique-gold metal leaves add luxe warmth to an Epiphany tablescape. Do note the premium price and that each piece fits only narrow-diameter tapers, which limits candle choices. If you're investing in heirloom decor, pair them with slim beeswax tapers for a refined glow.

If you’re elevating an Epiphany tablescape, we found Waterford’s Lismore candlesticks add unmistakable sparkle, with the classic diamond-and-wedge cuts catching candlelight beautifully. The solid weight and stable base kept our tapers upright even during lively dinners, making them as practical as they are elegant. They are crystal and best for indoor settings—handle carefully to avoid chips, and note the premium price. Pair them with high-quality, virtually dripless tapers for a clean, polished glow throughout the evening.

If you want windows that glow through the Twelve Days, this set of four battery-operated candles is a great value. We found the bi-directional LED throws a bright street-facing light while keeping a softer glow indoors, and the built-in timer can run for over 30 days in timer mode. Some buyers report defective units or broken bulbs on arrival, so test them early. Ivory housings suit most trim and look tidy from the curb.

This Luminara pillar gave us the most convincing glow in our testing—the moving flame effect reads like a real candle, while the hand-poured paraffin exterior looks authentic up close. It’s a stress-free way to illuminate greenery or nativities indoors, with battery life that runs for hundreds of hours. Plan to supply your own batteries and note the remote is sold separately for single candles. For everyday convenience and holiday safety, it’s an effortless, ivory accent that you’ll keep using beyond Epiphany.

For a front-yard focal point, this 4-foot Bethlehem star delivers eye-catching brightness. We found the faceted LED lights and weather-resistant metal frame hold up well for winter displays, making it a reliable anchor in an outdoor Epiphany scene. Mounting hardware and stakes aren't included, so budget for ground stakes or a wall/railing mount to keep it secure. Gold and pure white LEDs read crisp from the curb without overwhelming nearby wreaths or string lights.

Add a thoughtful message to your walkway with this double-sided garden flag sized for standard poles (about 18 x 12 inches). During our review, the vibrant, water-resistant print showed clearly from both directions, though smaller flags can be harder to spot from a distance on large properties. A pole isn't included, so have a stand ready, and remember that fabric flags will eventually show wear after repeated exposure. Our experience shows it looks great near entries or planters.
