The most wonderful time of the year will be here before you know it.

If you find yourself in a rush to spruce up the house for the holidays every year, it's time to turn over a new leaf. Rather than comb through crowded shopping aisles looking for the perfect décor, try one—or more—of these easy ways to add some merriment to your space.

Whether it's wax-free candles to bring a glow for the dinner table, outdoor string lights that glam up the backyard, or handy ornament organizers to protect your favorite collectibles, these holiday goodies from HSN help jolly up your space in a flash. Snap them up, then set them up early, so you can spend the season focusing on what really matters: the people around you.

What's better than a classic snowglobe? An illuminate snowglobe or starglobe! Create a magical seasonal atmosphere by switching on this 8-inch sphere, then watch the illuminated stars or snowflakes swirl around. With both multi-colored and white LED lights, it's great as a night light in a child's room year-round or to add holiday sparkle to any room come December. And its glitter finish means it looks festive even when the light is off.

With this tree, there’s no need to circle and wind cords of light around it. Someone has done the work for you. This artificial spruce comes in several sizes and features 600 LED fairy lights with 16 different modes, including twinkling, warm light, and pastel. You can change the light setting right from the foot pedal or the remote, and the EZ Power technology ensures that the lights will stay lit even if a bulb goes out.

If you don’t want to commit to a traditional tree this year, or just want some extra tabletop glam, opt for an alternative display of classic round ornaments. A cross between a Christmas tree and a cornucopia, this festive cone tree is made of textured globes. And battery-operated LED lights create a cascading whirl of color. Choose red and green, silver and gold, or blue and silver for a tabletop tree with no watering required.

Elegant and timeless, this gorgeous loaf pan is perfect for your grandma's traditional fruit cake at the holidays, or baking extra-fancy banana bread year round. The classic starburst design looks ornate but makes slicing super easy, so guests at your holiday parties can help themselves. Plus, the refined fluted design is made in the USA—much like your famous marble cake.

Welcome the cooler months with a burst of red-orange color. Beautifully textured, this accent piece incorporates faux fern fronds and orange wildflowers to add some foliage to your seasonal décor. The rustic design is a great addition to a door or hallway come October or for welcoming guests at Thanksgiving, but the weatherproof materials mean you can keep it up through the New Year.

This illuminated metal lantern holds a mini tree that makes a major impact. This decorated bottlebrush Christmas tree with a rotating light projection would look delightful on a holiday table or on your front stoop. It comes with a 6-hour timer to light your home throughout the long winter's evening, then shut itself off once everyone has turned in for the night.

No need to clean wax drippings off your holiday tablecloths ever again—these permanent dinner candles burn with real flames, but no sooty ash thanks to a refillable fuel. The off-white tapers fit securely in almost any holder and produce a warm, natural glow for up to six hours, so you can enjoy a candlelit dinner without all the mess.

Display your holiday hors-d'oeuvres and sweets in style with this 3-tiered plate set. The durable, 12 inch porcelain plates come with a matte metal rack to beautifully show off your seasonal small bites, canapés, and cookies. And the minimalist design means you can use it for any gathering that happens during the rest of the year, too.

This adorable vintage-inspired set features a jolly Kris Kringle potholder and two classic checkered pattern towels. Made with 100% cotton, the towels won't transfer lint to your holiday glasses or plates. We especially love Santa's little hemmed corner loop so you can easily hang him up in between uses (or by the chimney with ease, if the mood strikes).

Glowing works of art, these three sculptural vine balls feature micro LED lights that give off a warm, white, radiant hue. Unlike most holiday décor, you can keep this country-chic set around all year long, filling your space with a luminous glow once evening hits. The spheres include a 6-hour timer to conserve battery life, so you can set 'em and forget 'em.

An easy way to transform a backyard space into a cozy winter wonderland: Add a few strands to your patio, backyard, or tucked inside holiday lanterns for a glimmering evening display. This set comes with two 20-foot long micro LED light strings and has a timer function for a no-hassle lights out.

Special occasions call for an extra-special tablescape. Swap out your tried-and-true dinner plates and set your holiday meal with something a bit more eye-catching. Made in Italy, these chic, gold-tone glass chargers go with any china and feature an intricate design that transforms even the simplest meal into a decadent spread.

As you trim this year's tree, do your future self a favor and organize the overflow ornaments for next year while you're at it. This sturdy ornament organizer includes trays for color-coding your collectibles while the zippered outer case keeps them safe, snug, and dust-free.
