Christmas Moving Made Easy: Packing and Protecting Your Holiday Decor

November 19, 2025

The holiday season in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country brings a spirit of joy, family, and celebration. For many residents, it’s also a time for new beginnings and relocating to a new home. If you’re planning a move around Christmas, you may be wondering: How can you safely pack and transport your cherished holiday decorations without stress? At Veteran’s Best Movers, we understand the sentimental value behind each ornament, wreath, and string of lights. With our experience as trusted local movers, we’re here to help you make your Christmas move seamless and worry-free.


Holiday Moves in San Antonio: Why You Need a Plan


The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s are packed with festivities, school breaks, and often, unpredictable weather in South Texas. When a move falls during this busy time, organization is your best friend. Early preparation not only protects your treasured Christmas décor, but also ensures you have everything you need for a cozy, festive celebration in your new home.


How Do I Pack Christmas Decorations When Moving?


Packing holiday décor can seem overwhelming, especially with fragile and irregularly shaped items. The key is careful wrapping, secure boxes, and plenty of labeling. Below are proven tips from local moving experts:


Smart Packing Tips for Christmas Decorations


Sort and Declutter First

Before packing, take stock of your decorations. San Antonio families often accumulate extra lights, ornaments, and yard inflatables over the years. Donate or recycle anything you no longer use to lighten your load.


Use the Right Supplies

High-quality packing materials are essential for protecting delicate holiday items. Consider investing in:


  • Sturdy moving boxes (various sizes)
  • Bubble wrap and packing paper
  • Plastic bins for moisture-prone décor
  • Divided ornament organizers for baubles
  • Resealable bags for hooks and small pieces


Wrap and Label Everything Clearly

Wrap glass ornaments and fragile figurines individually in bubble wrap. Use soft linens or holiday towels for added padding. Clearly label each box with its contents, and mark “Fragile” for boxes with breakables. This helps your local movers in San Antonio, Boerne, and New Braunfels handle your items with extra care.


Protecting Lights, Wreaths, and Yard Décor: Local Pro Tips


Christmas lights, large wreaths, and inflatable yard figures are staples in Texas holiday displays. They require special attention during a move:


  • Wind lights around cardboard or spools to prevent tangling.
  • Store wreaths in fitted boxes or hang them inside wardrobe cartons.
  • Deflate, clean, and fold yard inflatables before packing in weatherproof bins.

To save time, consider our professional packing services. Our team provides all needed packing supplies and knows how to transport even the bulkiest holiday décor safely across San Antonio and the Hill Country.


Staying Jolly With a Holiday Move


Don’t pack away holiday spirit along with your decorations! Keep a “first night” holiday box with a few favorite items to bring instant cheer to your new home. Include:


  • A string of lights or a tabletop Christmas tree
  • Stockings and a few cherished ornaments
  • Festive mugs and hot cocoa packets
  • This way, your family can settle in with comfort and joy after the move.
