Yes, gnomes are certainly still popular for 2022! This is especially true of Christmas Gonks which are from Scandinavia and what people see as the true Christmas gnomes. People love using gnomes as indoor ornaments around Christmas time as they share a lot of similarities to Santa Claus, such as a big red belly, similar color clothes, big, black boots and long beards and so they are a great addition to the various Christmas decorations that people have both inside and outside their house.

A particularly popular trend this year are light up gnomes. These gnomes contain lights inside, often around the eye area, and are a great way of adding some lighting to your displays. Lights are added to many different types of gnomes such as Nordic ones and others with the classic red hats, green jackets and black boots.
