Included in the range is a £5 leopard print gonk, who has a stylish hat in the animal print.
Gonks have boomed in popularity in the UK in recent years and are said to be inspired by gnomes found in Scandinavian and Nordic mythology.
The little figures, which feature long bushy beards and knitted hats that cover their faces, are often thought to be a Nordic version of Santa Claus.
There is also a £6 bow in leopard print, which could be perfect for adding a sassy touch to your Christmas tree.
There is also a matching £8 stocking with a black bow which could be hung on your mantlepiece.
Shoppers have been raving about the leopard print range and saying they want to stock up for the festive period.
TikTok user @lauralovesshoppin showed off a clip of Matalan’s range in stores and said: “Wow Christmas and leopard all mixed into one.”
She added: “Girls, if you love leopard print and you want a touch of leopard print for Christmas, you need to get to Matalan.
“Look at the leopard print Christmas items. A leopard print stocking. Wow.
“And a leopard print bow for your tree. Absolutely stunning.”
People were quick to comment on her clip, which has over 106,000 views.
One said: “Aww love animal print.”
Another added: “OH MY GOD I am there.”
And a third commented: “absolutely going to get it.”
