The star of this year's collection is once again a statuesque Nutcracker Christmas decoration. He's one of the best dressed we've seen this year, in his glorious blue, red and gold formal jacket. The fastening buttons add a touch of bling, which seems to be the way of the Nutcracker uniform for Christmas 2019.

The Primark Nutcracker of 2018
You can see how the style has evolved from last year. We're fully approving of the new bling touches.
Last year the Nutcracker was paired by gingerbread bunting, added a sweet touch to traditional Christmas schemes for 2018. A felt garland is ideal for dressing the mantlepiece or hanging across windows to give a view from outside.
