Grow Your Plant Family: These Are The Trendiest Houseplants of 2022

houseplants

Houseplants have never been as in vogue as they were in 2021. As more and more people have dabbled in plant parenthood, we're starting to see some new trends take shape for 2022. This year it's all about the big, statement plants. We're also loving fun leaves and little pops of color. Dare we say polka dots are in and stripes are out? Let's be real, we love all plants, but here's a list of the trendiest and best houseplants of 2022.

Bird of Paradise

Fiddle leaf figs are so 2021 (jk we'll love them forever), the new tall plant of the moment is the bird of paradise. These beautiful plants with their huge leaves will complete any corner. And if you give them enough light they will sprout incredible flowers in the spring.

Silver Satin Pothos

Give us all the variegated leaves! This gorgeous pothos variation is a trailing plant and the leaves shimmer when the light hits them. Need I say more? Trailing plants are still all the rage this year and are the perfect plant to add to any shelf or hanging planter.

Anthurium

Houseplant and flowers, check. We’re loving little pops of color this year and anthurium delivers. This plant has flowers all year round (as long as it has enough sunlight) and is very difficult to kill.

Monstera Deliciosa

Monstera Deliciosa are here to stay! These tropical plants are perfect for everyone, from the beginner plant parent to the seasoned green thumb. They grow quickly, don't require a ton of attention, and they have that split-leaf look that is sure to turn heads. As these plants get bigger, their aerial roots can go a little haywire, but you can always cut them back without harming your plant.

Snake Plant

Snake plants will never go out of style! They are just so easy to take care of and they are so unique. They're technically succulents so they require little water and are the perfect addition to any room.

Little succulents are out, but huge cacti are in. You do have to live in a spot that gets lots of bright light in order for these to thrive. But if you do, one of these will make your home feel like a Joshua Tree oasis. (And if you don't live in a bright space, there are some exceptionally real-looking faux cacti out there.)

Are there more fun leaves out there than polka dot leaves? And the underside is pink, which we're here for! These plants can be a little bit fussy, but they are worth it, just like you :)

We've already started rewatching scary movies, but you might be waiting until October to kick off your horror marathons. There'll be sharp fangs, a sweeter look at the Netherworld, and skeletons galore, so your pajamas should look the part!

It's no coincidence Halloween occurs after the Autumn Equinox where the days are shorter and the air is crisper. It only adds to the cozy and eery vibes we're looking for! To save you time, we have 15 insanely cute Halloween pajamas you'll be excited to wear while snuggling with one of your new cozy Amazon blankets!

The Best Halloween Pajamas

Old Navy

Old Navy Halloween Print Pajama Set

Pajamas don't have to be terrifying for you to wear them, but they do have to be cute. Take a cue from our top Halloween decorations by wearing something that features smiling pumpkins, intricate spider webs, and surprised ghosts!

This soft jersey set is made of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex to give you a fitted look that won't cut off your circulation or fade the first time you wash it.

Forever21

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Shirt & Shorts Pajama Set

Beetlejuice 2is still on our minds, but it's not just our favorite ghoul we're thinking about. For reasons unknown, we can't stop thinking about Sandworms and their one-track mind mission. Ironically, Beetlejuice's signature black and white suit matches their memorable design so we say you need this Halloween pajama set, which is (thankfully) machine washable.

American Eagle Outfitters

American Eagle Outfitters Peanuts Fall Pumpkin Plush PJ Set

If this plush PJ set reminds you of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, that's 100 percent intentional. It's a well-known fact that the Peanuts characters wasted no time getting into the Halloween spirit by embracing pumpkins. You can continue to keep it short and sweet by wearing something that explores Snoopy's love for the orange fruit with this allover print!

Kohl's

Kohl's Snoopy Great Pumpkin Halloween Boxy Sleep Tee And Pants Set

You could also skip the Snoopy and pumpkin print by focusing on something straight out of the comic books. You'll still be wearing something reminiscent of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but in a different font.

Target

Hyde & EEK! Boutique Glow-in-the-dark Skeleton Pajama

Have fun with your Halloween pajamas by wearing something that glows in the dark! This jumpsuit reminds us of decorations we spotted at Target, making it the fun and slightly hair-raising piece you should wear after taking the kids trick-or-treating. It could also function as a super comfy Halloween costume.

Printfresh

Printfresh Witch's Brew Sleep Shirt

This sleep shirt is giving us the adult version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch after a long night of casting spells, brewing potions, and running after her kids during bath time. Clears throat. Sorry, we got a little sidetracked there! But, who wouldn't want to wear Barbie-pink pajamas that acknowledge your love for a nice glass of wine after a long day?

Etsy

Enanday Horror Characters Pajamas

These Halloween pajamas are for anyone who's got a penchant for watching the most terrifying horror flicks known to mankind. Whether you can't stop watching the Predator or Nightmare on Elm Street franchises, there's a character that acknowledges your go-to film when the lights are out.

Amazon

Ekouaer Short Sleeve Nightshirt

On the other hand, sadistic movie characters may not be something you want to dream about at night, and we don't blame you. Instead of literally welcoming scariness in your bed, choose this short sleeve nightshirt. It celebrates the cartoonish version of Halloween that would comfort even the youngest of kids.

BloomChic

BloomChic Bone Chilling Skeletal Placket Sleep Jumpsuit

Who wears short Halloween pajamas? You do if you've got your eyes on this skeleton placket jumpsuit! We can't get over the intricate details on the skeleton's interior parts, from the spider who's found a new home to the orange hearts placed over the hip bones. They're such a cute reminder that our bones aren't useless!

Disney

Disney Mickey And Minnie Mouse Halloween Pajama Set

Mickey and Minnie Mouse sure know how to party, no matter what holiday it is! Honestly, we think you could get away with wearing this set as part of your family costumes or you can save for them bedtime! We'd choose the former because trick-or-treat is written all over this set.

Carter's

Carter's 2-Piece Glow Halloween Skeleton Pajamas

Carter's is stepping things up by including adults in all the Halloween fun this year. Instead of a short jumpsuit, you can wear this skeletal 2-piece set that glows in the dark. You'll still find a teeny spider getting comfortable between the bones, but you'll also see a little green ghost and a pair of daunting eyes staring back at you.

Target

The Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Family Blanket Sleeper

Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas deserves the praise she gets every Halloween. Not only did she find a way to help Jack Skellington feel less lonely, but she also served as a voice of reason throughout the film. If it weren't for her, we don't know where our tragic hero would've ended up. That being said, step into this family blanket sleeper that has Sally's love and care etched into it.

Printfresh

Printfresh Halloween House Cats Long PJ Set

We know the "childless cat ladies" quip was meant as an insult, but the joke's on whoever hasn't had the pleasure of being chosen by felines. They're truly selective and have a sixth sense that puts them in tune with the person they trust.

Lean into the witchy vibe of having a couple of cats who are so locked in with your habits and moods they feel like your familiars.

Walmart

Way To Celebrate Halloween Fang Print 2-Piece Set

From Bram Stoker's Dracula to Interview with a Vampire, you've seen all the blood-draining movies. But that's not to say you're done watching them. In fact, you probably plan to buy a set of plastic fangs to match your new Halloween pajamas. If this sounds spot on, hurry to your nearest Halloween shop to pick up your new fangs so you can start wearing this 2-piece set next week!

JC Penney

JCPenney Nightmare Before Christmas V-Neck 2-Piece Set

Before we go, we can't forget about Halloween pajamas aimed at applauding Jack Skellington. He knew how to put on a frightful event, but the place where his human heart used to be remained open and giving. It's true he shouldn't have tried to steal Christmas, but every hero has their flaw!

The age of the movie star might have been replaced by the age of the fictional character, but there are still more than a few actors audiences L-O-V-E. Rachel Zegler, Florence Pugh, and Madelyn Cline are some of the stars who make the list, but there's one A-lister who's finally making his return to the big screen: Tom Holland!

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on October 21 that the Spider-Man actor would join Christopher Nolan's new movie alongside Matt Damon and I have never leapt down an internet rabbit hole so fast — especially since the biggest names in Hollywood just joined the cast. If you're wondering 'What is Tom Holland's next movie?' then look no further. Here's everything you need to know about the new movie before it hits theaters.

  • Tom Holland is finally starring in a new movie.
  • After The Crowded Room "absolutely broke" him, he decided to take a break from Hollywood.
  • The new film, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Anne Hathaway, is coming next summer.

Who else is in Tom Holland's next movie?

AppleTV+

Tom Holland will star in Christopher Nolan's new movie for Universal Pictures. The film is still unnamed for now, but it's sure to be one heck of a drama. And when I learned Tom would be joined by Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, and Matt Damon? This just became my most-anticipated movie of 2025!

When is the movie coming out?

Tom Holland & Zendaya's new movie is scheduled for July 17, 2026 and Deadline reports they're expected to begin filming at the beginning of 2025.

What is Tom Holland's next movie about?

We don't have an official synopsis yet, but sources told THR that it likely won't be set in the present day. Considering Tom is one of my favorite actors ever, I'm super excited to see him return to the screen — especially given how devastated I was when he said he needed a break from acting. "This show absolutely broke me in every way possible,” he said at the premiere for AppleTV+ show The Crowded Room in New York City. “I just kept my head down. I dug my heels in, and I just tried my best.”

"I'm no stranger to hard work," he told ExtraTV. "I've lived by the idea that hard work is good work. Then again, the show did break me. There did come a time where I needed a break and disappeared and went to Mexico for a week and had time on a beach and laid low. I'm now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was."

Bero

Tom was recently able to step into a more senior creative role with his new non-alcoholic beer BERO on October 16.

“After two years on my sobriety journey, I wanted to create something that reflected my lifestyle and values," Tom Holland said in a statement. “This beer isn’t just for those on a similar path, but for everyone who appreciates quality, craftsmanship and living life to the fullest."

Here's hoping you get to cheers a BERO on the set of your new movie, Tom!

Once the sun goes down, it's time to switch on all the ambient lights in your home. No big lights here, please. This pumpkin-shaped neon sign incorporates tons of cozy warm light, and it's a great affordable ($11!) piece to pick up to last your home decor game well into Halloween.

Amazon

Bsicpro Bathroom Rug

Bathroom decor can be hard to transition across seasons, especially since you don't want to cheese the space up too much with endless pumpkins. This autumnal-colored rug is an ideal swap for your regular decor and doesn't feel overly themed, either! It earns major points for being made of super-soft chenille.

Amazon

Amazon

Huminbo Boho Flowers

As much as designing your own floral arrangement is, that activity actually requires leaving the house (gasp!), and even then, your bouquet will wilt over time.

There's a great variety between stems, plus you could creatively break up the bundle to decorate across several rooms at home.

Amazon

Homemory Grey Glass Flameless Candles

Last year, some of us celebrated the holidays apart from our families for the first time. COVID has brought with it many changes, some of them arguably positive (like increased flexibility to work from home), some difficult (such as the realization of vastly different political and social views between family and friends), and some horrible (obviously, the health implications of a global pandemic). However, for some of us, celebrating the holidays without family members isn't exclusively due to COVID. In addition to so many of us living in different areas than our families of origin, some of us simply don't have close bonds with the people we grew up around. Sometimes, this can cause loneliness.

If you're not close with your family members, the holidays can be a difficult time. This is doubly true if you don't have a close circle of friends to call upon. But make no mistake, if this sounds like your situation, you're not alone — there are thousands of other people going through the same struggles you are. We sat down with Irad Eichler, founder of Circles, a website that connects people who are sharing similar struggles, like heartbreak, grief, or loneliness. Here are some of Eichler's tips for coping — and even thriving! — during the holiday season when you're not planning on spending it with your family, for one reason or another.

Don't Fall For "Perfect Families" On Social Media

Laura Chouette

The first VERY important step to having a joyous holiday season when you're going it alone is to stop believing the narrative that others' family situations are perfect, Eichler says.

"Remember people only post a moment in time, and only the moments when they look their happiest and best."

In addition to the fact that everything you see on social media is curated for the 'gram, it's also important to remember that by focusing on what others have and you lack, you risk failing to see the great things at play in your own life.

"These holiday periods can become a time of focusing on who and what we don't have, rather than who or what we do, and can cause a negative spiral into depressing and dreadful feelings of inadequacy," says Eichler.

Gratitude is the reason for the season, after all. So instead of only seeing the negative, try some gratitude journal prompts to help you focus on what's actually really wonderful about your life right now.

Make An Effort To Deepen New Connections

Joel Muniz

While it may seem like everyone has friends and family to spend time with during the holiday season, that doesn't mean no one is available for deepening a blossoming relationship or new friendship.

"Make a list of people you can or would like to connect with, and try to reach out to at least one of them," advises Eichler.

Reaching out doesn't have to mean a big plan or an hour-long conversation. Even a quick text letting a friendly coworker know you're thinking about them can go a long way toward deepening the relationship and moving it in the direction of closer friendship.

Don't have an acquaintance in mind? Then it's time to make new acquaintances. What's more in line with the Christmas spirit than attending a Meetup or event full of people eager to make new friends?

"Join groups with similar interests to yours, such as hiking, baking, or games. Push your boundaries and be brave - you might find new people who have much in common with you."

Give Back

Priscilla Du Preez

The holiday season is a great time to focus on giving back to your community, and coincidentally, acts of generosity and kindness are known to reduce loneliness and help people feel happier. One study found that knowing a few of your neighbors and doing small acts of kindness for them — such as cheering them up, listening to them, mowing their lawn, providing advice about local business recommendations and job opportunities, and chatting over the fence — was statistically correlated with feeling less lonely and having a lower risk of depression.

Helping out elderly neighbors can be a particularly gratifying way to give back.

"Notice older lonely people in your neighborhood or community who might have no family at all, and offer to help them," says Eichler. "These can become mutually meaningful connections, and help you 'adopt' a grandparent."

Connect With Others Online

Thought Catalog

Finally, use the Internet for its highest and best purpose: to connect people. Whether you're using Meetup to find in-person events, digital forums for having conversations about special interests, or programs like Circle for getting support from others in your situation, the opportunities to create new connections are practically endless.

"There are many interest groups that can be found digitally, where or any person can connect with others in the same life stage, going through the same challenges, or who would like to explore the same interests," Eichler states. "Meaningful connections can be formed easily in these circumstances. The Internet enables us to find and connect to people all over the world who fit this, and to whom we can become more easily attached, as we are able to find people with the exact interests that energize us."
