Latest Christmas Tree Trends to Try
First things first—this year is all about the details (and a tiny bit of drama).
Oversized ribbons are literally everywhere—think giant bows on top, tons of mini bows all over, or even ribbon waterfalls.
Stuck between “minimalist” and “more is more”? Don’t worry—you get both.
Full-on trees totally loaded with baubles are trending, and so are barely-there, light-kissed trees with just a swoosh of ribbon.
Color? It’s a free-for-all. Neutrals and rustic mocha shades (like earthy browns, creamy whites, warm golds) for cozy vibes.
Or maybe you want something brighter—pastels are huge, candy-colored ornaments are having a moment again, and you can never go wrong with dreamy winter wonderland blues and silvers.
And of course, classic red and green is basically the equivalent of a Mariah Carey song—never goes out of style.
Mix in gingerbread themes, candy canes, cottagecore, and even a bit of vintage flair. Seriously, you do YOU. Now, onto the eye candy!
