This year, nostalgic Friends ornaments are the perfect way to add a little festive fun to your holiday decor. Because if you're anything like Monica, decorating your tree for Christmas is a serious business! So if you're looking for the perfect pop-culture gift, or a way to update your tree, why not turn to the iconic New York City sitcom?

Joey, Chandler, Ross, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe often go hand-in-hand with the festive season—there are tons of Friends holiday and Christmas episodes (and yes, we've already started re-watching all of them). And what could be more fun than a Friends ornament? Not only are they colorful and amusing to look at; but every time you pass on, you'll be reminded of some of your favorite moments from the eternally funny series.

And, if you're not the biggest Friends fan (firstly, why not?), a funky Friends ornament would make for one of the best Christmas gifts for a friend or co-worker—especially if you're already stressing over Secret Santa. Have a look at some of the adorable decorations below and give your tree a look that even Monica would approve of.

RRP: $18/£19.86

Phoebe's festive Christmas song will live rent-free in our heads forever (she's our favorite 'Friends' character for a reason)—so why not get it immortalized in the form of a rather pretty looking tree ornament? 

This option has the entire song lyrics on it (yes, even the bizarre ending), interspersed with rows of Christmas lights. On the white background, it couldn't look more festive—and we bet it'll have you humming the tune every time you walk past it.

Choose your names and the year you want written onto your custom decoration—or if you're giving this to a loved one, theirs and their beau's name. They'll be lobsters together forever—in the immortal words of Phoebe Buffay. One of the best Christmas gift ideas for a girlfriend, or Christmas gift ideas for a boyfriend.

4. Hallmark Friends Central Perk Cafe Couch

4. Hallmark Friends Central Perk Cafe Couch

RRP: $12.95/£27

Is there a Friends scene more recognizable than the entire gang sat drinking coffee on the Central Perk couch? If the large brown/orange sofa and Central Perk window signifies the TV show for you, snap up this Friends ornament.

Made of resin, its largely unbreakable, and it measures in at 3 x 2.63 x 1.72 inches—meaning it'll be big enough to spot on your tree, but not so big that it'll draw attention away from your other ornaments. A great cozy gift for those who also love cuddling up on the couch!
