OUR STORY
Bring back the magic, leave behind the mess
Preparing your home for the holidays shouldn't feel like a chore. Between wrestling with stiff artificial branches, settling for flat plastic, and endlessly sweeping up dry needles, the joy of decorating often gets lost in the cleanup.
We believe the real magic lives in the quiet moments—the glow of the fireplace, the warmth of family, and a beautifully draped cedar mantle that takes your breath away the second you step inside.
We craft the greenery, so you can craft the memories.
A holiday tradition that actually lasts the whole season.
For our very first holiday at home, we draped fresh-cut cedar across the mantle because it felt like the traditional choice. It was absolutely stunning for about ten days. By mid-December, it was shedding dry needles all over the hearth, the tips had turned a crisp shade of brown, and we found ourselves constantly rotating the branches to hide the dying spots from our guests.
The following winter, we opted for artificial greenery, but that disappointed us in an entirely different way. It was stiff, glossy, painted in a single unnatural green tone, and looked instantly fake the second we turned on the living room lights. We packed it away within forty-eight hours and never looked back.
We founded MerryHaven because we could not find the perfect middle ground: holiday decor that captured the lush authenticity of nature, survived the entire winter, and lasted for decades. We tested countless prototypes before finally getting it right.
We are a family-owned brand, and we specialize in exactly one thing: Christmas. Not everyday homewares with a quick holiday collection tacked on. Just Christmas, 365 days a year, crafted flawlessly.
Your space should look like pure holiday magic. You shouldn't have to exhaust yourself to create it.
The standard we decorate by
Every garland must pass the ultimate test: does it look completely real from the doorway, and will it still look flawless in three years? Because of this, we reject many designs. Standard artificial foliage is flat, single-toned, and undeniably plastic the moment a lamp turns on. Our cedar is different — lush multi-layered sprigs, vibrant two-tone greens, and a heavy-duty wire core that holds your exact styling. We also perfect the practical side. Ensuring it stores entirely flat. Ensuring it emerges next December looking exactly like fresh-cut greenery.
Traditions that outlast the season
We won't pretend that artificial greenery is going to save the world. But we do know this: fresh-cut cedar turns brown, drops messy needles, and ends up on the curb by the second week of January. Our garlands simply go back into their box, coming out just as lush and vibrant next year.
Reusing one premium garland for ten winters leaves a much lighter footprint—and a much lighter toll on your wallet—than buying fresh branches every single December. That is a sustainable, beautiful tradition we believe in.
