1. Nutcracker Christmas Tree

To say this decor trend is loved is a massive understatement!

This year’s Nutcracker has all the moody vibes — with dark blues and vibrant reds to glittering golds, emerald greens, and beyond, the playful bold prints and stunning pops of black and white bring this stunning look to life!

2. Mixed Metals Christmas Tree Decorating

What once was simply a Gold and White Christmas Tree craze has turned into a Mixed Metals showstopping sensation! With champagnes, platinum, silvers, and gold, there are a myriad of designs that you can take with this delightful design. If you want to lean into glass ornaments and rich accents or stay with a more demure look, you’ll find anything your heart desires with a delightful Natural Elegance Collection-inspired theme.

3. Retro Christmas Tree Decor

When it comes to bringing nostalgia back, reawaken your vintage vibes with delightful pops of color! We dream in technicolor and see the rainbows with bright lights all over coming back big time!

Now, another subset of this category sees purple making its day in so many of the designs across the country. Whether you love a true purple ornament or a sparkling pop of bright fuschia, there’s something for you to love! Couple some vibrant shatterproof ornament hues with fantastic pastel-inspired themes, and you’ve got some funky magical vibes brewing!

Another vintage glam find that we absolutely love is the vintage reflector ornaments that are stealing the show on this red and green Christmas tree! Using the classic colors, you can still invoke a sense of fun and absolute wonder with a few specifically positioned pieces.

4. Organic Natural Greenery Christmas Tree and Mantle Decor

One Christmas decor trend that is here to stay is incorporating greenery in your Christmas designs. But what if you could enjoy the texture of real pine garlands without dropping needles or dealing with your expensive garlands dying? We’re here to tell you that the Real Touch Natural Greenery and other looks in the collection are your solution! Spend your money on these high-quality, long-lasting Christmas garlands — we love what they do for table centerpieces, piano tops, bookcases, staircases, and mantels! You can also use the sprays to tuck into your Christmas tree for an added fullness!

5. Pink Christmas Tree Ideas

From storybook Christmas themes to the favorite Barbie movie released earlier this year, pink Christmas decor is making its way into the hearts and homes of more people this season! We love incorporating it with red and white or other pastels for a delightfully whimsical look!

Some of our looks are only available in-store, like these Glitterville magical figurines. We can’t get enough of their cuteness, so we just had to share them with you all!

8. Blue Christmas Decor

When it comes to delightful winter scenes, blue and white Christmas decor has been trending for a few years, and it’s definitely taken our hearts! When you’re looking for a classic, elegant, and simply unexpected tree to go with your home decor, crafting a blue design that’s either neutrals-based or glamorous can be a fun and festive way to stay on trend!

We took the best of blue and paired it with stunning farmhouse-inspired faith messages and nativity scenes to bring our debuting Oh Holy Night Christmas Collection.

And this nod to all you grand millennial lovers, this chic blue and white glam Christmas tree hits all the right notes to bring your entire home decor together!

9. Winter Wonderland

If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, we bet you’re not alone! Having an epic white look with silvery magical threads weaving through is one of the most beautiful and inspiring Christmas tree ideas for the season! We absolutely adore keeping one palette while adding lots of textures to bring in dimension and visual interest.
