Best holiday-themed area rugs

Top pick: the Tree Reindeer Christmas washable rug. It's the most flexible holiday rug here — a red-and-green tree-and-reindeer print in sizes from a 2'x3' door mat up to 9'x12', with a non-slip backing and a low polyester pile that wipes clean and goes in the wash. If you want one rug to cover a whole room or just a doorway, this is it.

Who the others suit:

• Garvee 5'x7' tree-pattern rug — a straightforward living-room size if you want a classic Christmas tree motif.
• PhoenixCrest washable runner — a softer beige/green/red tree-and-animals print for hallways and entryways.
• Christmas animal runner (faux wool) — flat-woven and non-slip, good for a narrow hall where a plush rug would bunch.
• Homespice gingerbread jute braided rug — the pick if you'd rather have a warm, natural-fiber, country-kitchen look than a printed polyester one.
• Addison Chantille snowman rug, 10'x14' — indoor/outdoor and machine washable, for a big porch or sunroom.
• Garvee 9'x12' red rug — the budget route to a large room-size holiday rug.

Check the size before you buy: several of these are runners or small accent mats, and the 3D-print floor rug is a thin novelty piece rather than a real area rug.
