Let’s look at how to decorate your Christmas tree with a London theme this year. We can use ornaments that represent London’s icons along with other cool ornaments that represent different parts of old London Town.

So what does a London Christmas tree look like to you? Well for me I think you just have to add London icons link Big Ben and the Tower Bridge along with the Queen’s Guards and Beefeaters. I also don’t think you can avoid adding a few British icons such as the red telephone boxes, union jack and red double decker buses, but that’s just me. What are you waiting for let’s start exploring what London ornaments are available…

London Combo Christmas Ornaments

There are so many different things that represent London that if you want to just add a single ornament to a tree you might find it hard to know whether to go for Big Ben, beefeaters, red buses or something entirely different. Luckily for people who can’t decide (and actually don’t want a whole London themed tree) then we have some London Combo Christmas ornaments for you – I call them this because they combine a few different London elements into one ornament.

Big Ben Christmas Ornaments

London’s Famous Clock Tower

Big Ben is one of the widely recognized symbols of London, much like we recognize the Eiffel Tower as belonging to Paris and the Sydney Opera House belonging to Sydney when we see a picture of Big Ben we instantly think of London. What better image is there to hang on a London inspired Christmas tree than this big clock tower that was built during the 1850s and is the largest four faced chiming clock in the world.

When you visit London you are actually obligated to take a photo with Big Ben … well okay I just made that up, but most people do!

Beefeater Christmas Ornaments

London’s Yeoman Warders

Beefeaters are an iconic sight in London where they were originally tasked with safeguarding the Tower of London and in particular the Crown Jewels. Their official name is the Yeoman Warders and they were formed way back in 1485 by the first Tudor King of England – Henry VII. These days Beefeaters act as a tourist guide and are regularly photographed by tourists to London.

The Tower of London Christmas Ornaments

As I said above the Beefeaters were originally tasked with the job of guarding the Tower of London which is now a tourist attraction in London, partly for people who want to see the Crown Jewels and partly by people who want to know about the Tower’s long, dark history.

Tower Bridge Christmas Ornaments

London’s Tower Bridge, not to be confused with London Bridge, is another iconic sight in London and I just loved watching the bridge open up whenever I visited London as a child. It seemed so big and imposing that I wondered how it managed to open up so easily to allow ships to pass through.

How could you have a London inspired tree and not include at least one ornament of the Tower Bridge?

Queen’s Guard & Buckingham Palace Ornaments

Right Royal Christmas Ornaments!

Lots of people come to London in hopes of seeing the Royal family. When I was growing up Buckingham Palace wasn’t open to the public, but now it’s a popular destination to visit. What was (back when I was living in the UK) and still continues to be a popular event for people to watch is the Changing of the Guard. The Queen’s Guard is definitely another icon of London and makes a pretty cute looking Christmas ornament as well.

Red Telephone Box Christmas Ornaments

A British Icon

The red telephone box is an iconic image of the UK and so has really earned it’s place on your ‘London’s Calling’ Christmas tree.

London Bus Christmas Ornaments

Although red double decker buses are seen around Britain, in fact I used to take one to college every day in Dorset when I was younger, they are also seen as an icon of London along with the black taxi cabs. I must admit that when I returned to England after living overseas for 9 years it was the sight of a red double decker bus from the airplane as we were circling that tugged at my heart and made me excited to be back!

London Sights – Old and New

From the London Eye to the Houses of Parliament there are popular London destinations which are available as Christmas ornaments for your tree. London has been a settlement since Roman times which means there are lots and lots of places in London that mean something special to someone, not just the iconic tourist destinations. Let’s check out old London town…

London Eye Christmas Ornament

A relatively new attraction to London (in terms of London’s history that is) is the London Eye which opened it’s doors in 2000. Despite only being around in this millennium the London Eye has quickly made it’s mark as a recognizable London attraction which is why it’s also available as a cool Christmas ornament.

Houses of Parliament Christmas Ornaments

London’s Houses of Parliament is also known as the Palace of Westminster and the site was originally built in the eleventh century where it was the primary London residence for England’s Kings until it was destroyed by fire in the 16th century after which it became home to England’s Parliament. The Houses of Parliament that you can see today were rebuilt in the middle of the 1800s and are pictured in these Christmas ornaments-

Vintage London Ornaments

London has been around as a settlement since Roman times when the very first London Bridge was built (mere yards away from the modern London Bridge sight). This means that there are lots of old buildings and historical sights which represent London and here are a few vintage images of them. Buildings such as St Paul’s Cathedral, The Royal Mint, The Old Bailey etc.

Cats & Christmas Trees

I know that when we used to decorate our Christmas tree our cat used to think we’d just created an indoor playground for him and would hit all of the Christmas ornaments off.  I certainly can’t be the only cat owner who’s experienced this!

Alternatively, he’d lie on his back under the tree and reach up and pat the ornaments from one foot to the other……I used to live in dread of returning home to find him squashed under a toppled tree. Honestly, I’m amazed my hair wasn’t prematurely grey!

I sometimes wonder whether he would have left any cat Christmas ornaments alone or not, I mean cats are pretty smart I’m sure they would’ve appreciated a tree covered in cat ornaments.   They probably would think it was there for us to worship at!

A DIY Cat Christmas Tree Ornament?

When I saw this cat Christmas ornament I fell in love with it, it also gave me an idea for a DIY cat Christmas ornament.

Now I’m not sure how to add ears to this ornament, but the cat face is certainly one that most of us could replicate.

Arm yourself with a colored plain bauble ornament and a sharpie pen and you can create a very simple version of this ornament.

Another version would be by using a glue stick to draw (I’d use a sharpie first and go over the lines with a glue stick, but this depends on your confidence levels) onto the bauble and then sprinkle glitter on.

Another version would be to buy a clear glass bauble and paint it before doing one of the things above.

There certainly are lots of ways to celebrate your feline friends over the festive holidays so why not have a cat-themed tree this year?

Disney Princess Ariel Christmas Ornaments

Christmas trees don’t usually adorn the sea bed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t replicate the undersea home of the Disney Princess Ariel on your tree this holiday season with these Little Mermaid Christmas ornaments.

The selection of Little Mermaid Christmas ornaments that are available to buy are a beautiful addition to any Christmas tree. They really do add a lovely touch of the nautical to the holiday season.

These ornaments will also make any little Ariel fan’s eyes light up in delight (almost as much as after Santa has been). Decking the tree with ornaments that various members of the family will adore just makes your holiday decorating even more special.

Hallmark Little Mermaid Christmas Ornaments – Disney Princess Ariel Christmas Ornaments

This Little Mermaid Christmas ornament features Ariel with her two friends Flounder and Sebastian who are helping her decorate her very own coral Christmas tree. As an aside I do love the idea of using coral as a Christmas tree!

Little Mermaid Ariel 2009 Hallmark Ornament

To me this ornament really captures Ariel in her natural environment and always brings a smile to my face when I see it.
I love the way that Flounder and Sebastian are ‘helping’ to decorate the ‘tree’ by draping pearls over it while Ariel adds the star (or is that starfish?) to the top.
If I could only have one of these ornaments on my tree this is probably the one I would pick

Ariel’s Dream – Another Hallmark Christmas Ornament

This set of two Hallmark Christmas ornaments represents Ariel wishing she had legs so that she could be with Prince Eric who she had fallen in love with upon first sight.

Ariel’s Dream 2008 Hallmark Ornament

A great representation of the two sides of Ariel – the princess with legs and the little mermaid.
This represents a great set of Christmas ornaments for any little girl who wishes she was Ariel, I’ve found over the years that little girls in general either want to be a princess or a mermaid and as Ariel was both then I’m not surprised as to how popular she is 🙂

The Little Mermaid Christmas Ornament Set

Disney’s The Little Mermaid Storybook Ornament Set

&

This beautiful set of Little Mermaid Christmas ornaments comes in a bound storybook box to keep them safe. It also looks very impressive so would make a gorgeous gift for someone who loves Disney’s Princess Ariel. The set includes Ariel in two different poses, her father, Sebastian the crab, her best friend Flounder and more.

I know not only a very little girl who would love this as a gift, but also a few ‘not so young girls’ who would love to have this set for their tree. You could hang these ornaments on any tree – a real one, an artificial one in green or white, but what I would love to do is to get a pale turquoise colored table top tree to represent the ocean and hang these ornaments on it.

There are so many different Little Mermaid Christmas ornaments available to purchase that it’s impossible to add them all here. I do think that the ornament set is ideal if you want your whole tree to be a Little Mermaid or a fairytale nautical theme.

I have featured a few more below and be sure to check out the other Disney Princess ornaments available if you want to tree dedicated to all of your royal favorites.
