This year, 2020, I made a Red Truck Christmas Mantel scene above my fireplace.
Over the past couple of years, the Red Truck Christmas tree decor started popping up here and there. Whenever I saw it, I thought it was so cute! I don’t always hop on the trendy-decor-bandwagon, but with this theme, I totally did because I love it.

Instructions on how to assemble a Red Truck Christmas Mantel
I made and purchased items for this mantel.
Target was having a big sale on their Christmas Red Truck line so I bought many items from Target.
They were not only on sale but they were having a $10 off $50 Christmas decorations promotion so each item on the mantel cost between $4.00-$7.00.
I bought the faux snow blanket, the slug bug with presents on top, and the flocked trees from Target.
I got the snowmobile and station wagon from Target. I also bought the small red truck and trailer from Target too.
I made this little tree hauler by taking an old dump truck toy and ‘restoring’ it.
You can see how I made multiple of these cars here.
Instead of using mantel stocking holders, I used some strong packaging tape and taped the loops of the stockings to the mantel wood. Then I weighted the tape down with the faux snow blanket and items on the mantel.
The stockings were $1.00 each at Dollar Tree and can also be found here. They are of good quality and cute. I was surprised I got them for $1.00 each! They are made of felt and because of how light they are, they have stayed put without a stocking holder.
I added some D.I.Y. snow globe ornaments that my kids and I made to the mantel as well.
One of the snow globe ornaments had a camper in it and the others just had trees.
I also made a red truck and red camper snow globes. Some were made with water and some without.
I placed a few of these snow globes my kids and I made on the mantel.
I used twinkle lights to highlight a lot of the items on the red truck Christmas mantel.
I added a few other Hot Wheels that I ‘restored’ to mimic this look…
I think they turned out so cute!
I placed two flocked trees on either side of the mantel and tucked up either the camper or the red truck next to them.
I wrapped the twinkle lights around the flocked trees and the items on the mantel.
I love how the scene is lit up all day and evening.
Isn’t this station wagon I found at Target just so cute?
I love snowmobiling, so this vintage snow mobile was also a must-have.
I just think this Red Truck Christmas Mantel turned out so cute. I love looking at each individual item on it.
