During the holiday season, as party invites ramp up, it's important to make sure your look is ready-to-go. But while many of us already have our hands prepare with 2025's hottest Christmas nail designs, it's less likely we've given our feet the same attention.

Although our toes are often hidden behind fluffy socks and boots during the winter time, that doesn't mean they should be excluded from the holiday fun. 
Luckily, there are plenty of ways to make your feet look as decorated as your Christmas tree. We've compiled the ultimate holiday pedicure inspo to get your creative juices flowing, with 10 ideas that are as scrumptious as hot cocoa. No matter if you love loud, campy designs packed with glitter or something a little more subtle and classy, there's a look that will turn your toes into a delightfully decorated canvas.

Nothing says Christmas quite like baubles, so why not transform your feet into another canvas to decorate? Combining chrome and rhinestone polish will give a similar look to the sparkly ornaments on your tree, and best of all, it's so easy to achieve. A chrome powder will give a bauble-esque shiny finish, while nail gem packs like the Small Resin Rhinestones for Nail Art from BELLEBOOST or Tiwnefua's Colorful Nail Art Rhinestones will give you plenty of bedazzling choice in traditional (and non-traditional, if that's your thing) holiday shades.

For those who prefer a subtle winter manicure, matching your toes with an equally understated white chrome polish is the way to go. The simple, cool-toned palette is great on a variety of skin tones, while the snowy aesthetic will carry over from Christmas into January. Elevate the look into something even more elegant by adding toenail rings in silver.

Bows are everywhere you look during the holiday season — including on manis and pedis. To create a cute and cozy understated look, paint a classic French manicure onto each toenail, then add a bow to your big toe in your favorite holiday shade. Reds and greens are classic for the season, but silver will tap into the cool undertones of winter while gold will help you stay glam into the New Year. Kawaii's Color Bow Nail Charms Kit offers 3D options, while Charme Coquette Heart Bow Nail Art are flat and easy to adhere.

A green glitter gel polish is a simple way to ensure your toenails make a seasonal statement without requiring too much effort. Opting for shades like Beetles' Gel Nail Polish in EverGleam or the Firedeep Gel Polish in Green Glitter will help you channel the vibes of gorgeously decorated pine tree. 

Whether you live somewhere snowy or sunny, you can still bring a festive flurry to your holiday nails. Tap into the season's chilly flare with a cool-toned blue polish on each nail, then add a subtle, white snowflake to the big toe for a quirky design that will work all winter long. For something a little more eye-catching, swap the white polish for a metallic silver or throw on some shiny glitter.

Gingerbread is one of Christmas' most delicious treats, and a opting for a polish inspired by the baked good is a delightful choice if you're a fan of brown-toned looks. Apply a magnetic polish in a light brown over each nail, then use a magnet to create lighter and darker sections — as if your toenails have been baked to perfection. This will help achieve that textured appearance. Beetles' Gel Nail Polish in Velvet Cinnamon will give your feet a gingerbread vibe look, as will Firedeep's Hema Free Gel Nail Polish in Glowing Amber Cat Eye.

If you're not into bold, overly festive shades, you can still get into the seasonal fun with a sparkle nude manicure. This look mimics the delicate sparkle of the season along with the angels that sit at the top of many people's trees. DIY it by painting your base with your favorite nude polish and layering a fine gold glitter polish (or loose glitter) over the top. 

Peppermint candy is so Christmas coded, and bringing the sugary swirl to your toenails is a sweet way to have fun with your look as the year draws to a close. Begin by painting your nails in an all-over red, and once it's dry, apply a white polish using a nail brush (such as the Artdone Double-ended Nail Art Brushes or Beetles Nail Art Brushes) to create smooth, steady lines from the center in a windmill-like pattern. Add a single rhinestone in the center for extra festive sparkle.

Gold is one of the holiday season's staple shades that offers a more glamorous touch than basic reds or greens. The metallic hue is perfect for those who want an elegant and luxurious look that will carry well into New Year's Eve. Also, metallic golds are also notorious for making a tan look deeper, so it's ideal if you plan to wear open-toe shoes to your December parties.

Plaid prints are one of Christmas' coziest trends year after year, adorning everything from cozy sweaters to stretchy pants. To incorporate it into your pedicure, paint your toenails your favorite festive red or green, then use nail art brushes or AIINOP Nail Markers to create two thick and two thin lines running horizontally and vertically across the edges of the nails. Once the thick lines are dry, use an extra-fine tipped nail pen to draw small, diagonal lines in the same color as your base shade for sweater-like texture.
