Best answer
If you love the red and green colors of Christmas but you don鈥檛 want to distract from your nativity scene,set a large wreath made of pine behind your scene and add a few small fairy lights to it. Then, hang small red and gold Christmas ornamentson it for a subtle pop of color to highlight your nativity scene.

How do you decorate a nativity scene with Christmas lights?
Wrap a string of white holiday lights around the base of the manger and the figurines. Cover the lights with a thin sheet of white fabric to mimic snow. The lights will shine through the fabric, giving your nativity scene a warm and inviting look. Place a thin layer of craft straw on the floor of the manager.

What do you put in your nativity figures?
My first idea was holly berries. My mother has several giant holly bushes in her yard that always need trimming back, and well before Advent the berries start turning bright red. I snipped a few branches and laid them in and out of the nativity figures to create a cozy holiday effect.
