Top 10 Best Christmas Hand Towels 2017

Whether you have guests staying in your home or you just want to add a little Christmas cheer to your bathroom, a Christmas hand towel is a subtle decor item that’s both festive and functional. A cute Christmas hand towel can add a fresh look to your bathroom, and it will be loved by your family and house guests alike.

No matter your Christmas style, there are plenty of hand towels to choose from. Pick a cheery red or bold gold if you really feel like making a statement, or a clean white or soft blue if you want something more subdued. There’s also plenty of Christmas prints and quotes from carols that look cute on a hand towel and totally scream Christmas. While you most likely are looking at this list for yourself, Christmas hand towels make great gifts as well, especially paired with a nice smelling candle.

Be sure to consider the material of the towels when you’re searching for Christmas hand towels. While they are decorative, you still want something that you like to use and is going to last. Microfiber towels are the most absorbent, while cotton towels are generally the softest.

Here’s our breakdown of the best Christmas hand towels, listed in no particular order.
