The fascinator comes complete with an [adorable kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-and-kate-spade) all dolled up in one of Santa's outfits. The fascinator is attached to a white lace headband for easy application and removal. The fascinator sports sparkly red and gold tulle, floral stems and feathers for a unique winter festive appeal. The tulle is displayed in a variety of different directions to effectively convey a present-popping display of work. The Christmas Hat may cost you $40, however it packs extra zest with long feathers and [miniature candy canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwarf-factory-sweetmas-keycaps). Comprised with sparkly red twigs, the hat resembles much of an Xmas door wreath. If purchasing said fascinator is too expensive, this would make for a great DIY project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Festive Headgear:** Opportunity for innovative designs and materials to create unique and expressive holiday accessories. - **DIY Holiday Projects:** Growing interest in creating personalized and budget-friendly holiday decorations and accessories. - **Animal-themed Festivities:** Increasing demand for holiday products featuring animal motifs and characters. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Accessories:** Creative designers and manufacturers can capitalize on the demand for unique holiday headpieces and accessories. - **Craft and DIY:** Opportunity for craft suppliers and tutorial creators to provide materials and guidance for DIY holiday projects. - **Pet Products:** Pet accessory brands can leverage the popularity of animal-themed holiday products to offer festive options for pets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday-Centric Pet Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsmart-2.md) - [Personalized Pet-Inspired Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petinspired-ornament.md) - [Holiday Charm Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandoras-moveable-holiday-charm.md) - [Cat-Friendly Holiday Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-friendly-holiday-tree.md) - [Customizable Holiday Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-sparkles-outdoor-decor.md) - [Whipped Cream-Themed Fuzzy Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whipped-creamthemed-fuzzy-hat.md) - [Sparkling Illuminated Festive Wreaths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-wreath.md) - [Cat-Centric Culinary Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feastivities-collection-by-fancy-feast.md) - [Festive Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-dog-toys.md)
