Trisha Yearwood's Simple Southern Christmas

A Southern-style Christmas is about fresh greenery, fresh fruit, fresh flowers and plenty of good food. Designer Brandon Branch draws on these for inspiration as he makes over Trisha's Nashville home for the holidays.

Trisha Yearwood's Simple Southern Christmas

Through a creative blend of evergreen wreaths, floral bouquets, garlands of magnolia and traditional Christmas ornaments, Brandon transforms Trisha's home into a sea of flowers and holiday greenery.

Evergreen foliage and roses in warm tones provide a palette that's both fresh and inviting. Some of the greenery was gathered from Trisha's own backyard.

Brandon makes use of topiaries, green ivy, eucalyptus, pink roses and glass ball ornaments in coordinating colors as key design elements.

Sherri Shepherd's Gold and Champagne Holiday

Designer Michael Russo decorates Sherri Shepherd's Harlem brownstone drawing on a jazz-inspired theme. He relies on a color palette of gold, champagne and ivory to complement the home's already warm ambiance.

Michael's holiday theme pays homage to historic Harlem and this home's history as a former restaurant and speakeasy.

Colors of gold, green and ivory offset the dark tones of the home's beautifully restored woodwork and wood paneling.

Simple white pillar candles, magnolia blossoms and gold garland help accent the hearth as a visual focal point in the room.

Since Sherri has almost 12-foot ceilings, Michael wants to make full use of the vertical space. He hangs ivory tulle panels and oversized gold ornaments with a champagne bow.

For Sherri, the holidays are about the people around her. She invites her closest friends and family to share in a party complete with a three-piece jazz band and hors d' oeuvres like this delectable brioche appetizer.

Carrot and butternut-squash soup topped with a green garnish makes for another appealing holiday starter.

Brooke Burke's White and Silver Christmas

Designer Sandra Espinet creates an elegant and contemporary all-white fantasy Christmas for Brooke Burke and her family at their Malibu home.
