The countdown to Christmas 2025 has officially begun, and here at Missacc, the studio is buzzing. Our designers are pinning velvet swatches, debating sequin shades, and pulling inspiration from our favorite celebrity holiday looks. If you walked into our fitting room today, you would hear the same question over and over: “Which dress is the one for Christmas this year?”
We love that question. Finding the perfect holiday dress is more than checking a trend box. It is about choosing something that makes you feel like the main character in your own festive story.
After styling thousands of Missacc customers through the holidays, we have learned what actually matters when picking a Christmas party dress. And this year, the trends are giving you so many fun ways to shine.
