Letters to Santa is a sweet, child-like Christmas theme that The Trend Curve highlighted last in our 2012 color-and-trend forecast, ‘Tis The Season. For 2022, it is making a comeback. In fact, at Christmasworld in Frankfurt and at the Atlanta Gift Market, this theme was just emerging (we posted about it on The Trend Curve’s Instagram in January).
What distinguishes the 2022 version from the look in 2012? Two elements separate them as much as the years in between:
Words vs. Postmarks
North Pole vs. Paris
