Have you ever thought about hanging some Sleeping Beauty Christmas ornaments on your tree? The idea of a prince kissing you awake has been the stuff that little girls have dreamed of for years. You could turn your Christmas tree into the type of fairy tale tree that young girls dream of by adding some of these beautiful Sleeping Beauty Christmas ornaments.
Whether you choose to have a whole tree dedicated to Sleeping Beauty or whether you just add a few Sleeping Beauty ornaments to your tree your holidays are bound to be full of sweet dreams with this gorgeous selection.
Beautiful Disney Princess Sleeping Beauty Holiday Ornaments
You could stick with just Princess Aurora on her own like with these ornaments or you could add other characters from the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale as well.
Of course for those of us who remember the story it all started at Aurora’s christening so an ornament or two featuring her fairy godmothers might be a good touch. I’ve found a couple which feature Disney’s favorite godmothers, Flora, Fauna & Merryweather.
Of course what is a fairy tale without a villain? The witch that cast the spell to send Aurora to sleep was Maleficent and it may be that you’d like to hang her on your Christmas tree, not sure that I’d want her celebrating the holidays with me, but….
Of course all Disney fairy tales that feature Disney Princesses just have to have their own Prince and so we have some Aurora and Philip ornaments for your tree right here, starting with the one when Aurora’s true love kisses her and breaks the spell waking her up from her long, deep sleep.
Of course if you can’t decide which ornaments to get, and let’s face it with so many choices it can be a little over whelming, then you can just start off with a set of ornaments like this gorgeous one I’ve found below for you to enjoy.

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!
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.
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 🙂
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.

Are you looking for Bull Terrier Christmas Ornaments? I absolutely love these Christmas ornaments because of a beautiful dog I used to have. Let me tell you the story while we look at some gorgeous Bull Terrier Christmas ornaments together.
When I was first married my hubby and I got our first dog together, her name was Shelly. She was a cross between a Bull Terrier and a Fox Terrier, she was as nosy as a Foxie and as stubborn as a Bull Terrier!
Finding these Bull Terrier Christmas ornaments online are a fantastic reminder of our Shelly who passed away a few years ago.
My hubby met Shelly before me when she was holding on to the lead of a fully grown German Shepherd dog (she was only a few weeks old) and taking it for a walk. The shepherd saw hubby come in and took off with our Shells trying to pull him backwards – very unsuccessfully. Well my hubby was hooked!
That day he picked me up from work and said ‘you’ve got to meet this dog’, well our Shelly was always a very bright dog and this was evident when we first walked into the SPCA. I knelt down slightly and she bolted towards me and did a running jump straight into my arms, obviously I was a goner Shells was getting adopted!
She had been named Shelly after a schoolgirl who had raised money for the SPCA when they were visiting local schools and we thought we’d keep the name as I imagine that little girl would have been so proud 🙂

I love decorating the Christmas tree every year and I like to have a diverse collection of Christmas ornaments on my tree as well. This year I’m going to add a koala Christmas ornament to my tree – have you thought about hanging koala ornaments on your Christmas tree?
Australia’s cuddliest ambassador certainly makes for a gorgeous looking addition to the holiday decorations.
We have a kangaroo ornament on our Christmas tree at the moment, but I can’t believe that I haven’t added a koala before, especially when I see what gorgeous ones are available.
If you know how to crochet you could even make your own koala bear ornament with this pattern –
This koala is only 2″ tall which makes him ideal to hang (or perch) on a Christmas tree either an Australian themed one or just a plain cute Christmas ornament!
Another way of making your own koala Christmas ornaments is with these crewelwork ornament kits –
Each of these kits make a 3-D ornament of a koala bear. The embroidery is sampler in style and uses many different stitches to create a very interesting piece that will be cherished for years to come. Everything that you need to make these ornaments is included in the kit so it’s also a cool gift idea to give to older children as a Christmas craft in the lead up to the holiday season.

Cute Koala Bear Pictures on Christmas Ornaments
These ornaments are ready to hang and basically have images of the cute little koalas on them.
These next ornaments are cute cartoonized versions of koalas and are available with a range of different background colors and even different backgrounds altogether so if red or green aren’t the colors you’re looking for be sure to look at the other backgrounds these are offered on here.
I absolutely love all of these ornaments and am torn about what one to get for our tree this year. I think I’ll probably get one of the cartoon koala ornaments first and then decide on what other one to add to it. Will you be adding a koala to your Christmas tree?

Are you over green this year? What about having a red and white Christmas tree? Red and white is still very festive, just think of candy cane.
Red and white is one of the most timeless and beloved Christmas color combinations. Whether your style leans toward elegant and traditional, playful and whimsical, or sleek and modern, a red and white Christmas tree never goes out of fashion. This bold yet versatile palette brings a festive, joyful energy to your home and it’s surprisingly easy to customize to suit your decor.
If you’re ready to embrace this classic due, here’s everything you need to know to create a stunning red and white Christmas tree this holiday and be the envy of all your friends and family.
Why Red and White Works So Well
Red and white is one of the most classic holiday color pairings, evoking everything from vintage candy canes and Santa’s suit to snowy winter landscapes and cozy fireplaces.
Red brings warmth and energy, making your tree feel festive and full of life.
White adds lightness and contrast, keeping the overall look crisp and elegant
Together, these colors strike a perfect balance between traditional and modern, working with nearly any home decor style – from farmhouse to glam.
Choosing the Perfect Base for Your Red and White Christmas Tree
First of all you need to decide if you’re going to start with a traditional green tree or go with a red tree or a white tree. Green and white trees are easier to find than red, but Amazon can be your friend when looking for different colored trees.
Green Christmas Tree: The Classic Backdrop
A green tree is the most traditional choice and provides a natural base for red and white decorations. Red ornaments pop beautifully against greenery, while white accents – like snowflakes, faux snow or white ribbon create a soft, wintery effect.
For a more layered look, add strands of arm white lights and red berry picks through the branches. A classic red tree skirt will help ground the design.
White Christmas Tree: Sleek and Modern
White trees have surged in popularity for their clean, modern aesthetic. Decorating a white tree with red ornaments makes the color really shine. Think glossy red baubles, red ribbons and red and white candy cane accents.
To prevent the look from feeling too stark, mix in a few matte ornaments or flocked picks to add texture. The result is a bright, cheerful and perfect for anyone wo loves a bold holiday statement.
Red Christmas Tree: Bold and Dramatic
If you want to make a statement this season, a red Christmas tree isa stunning choice. Red trees pair beautifully with white ornaments, ribbon and garland, creating a striking reverse of the classic look.
White snowflakes, flocked picks and white or silver baubles pop brilliantly against the rich red background. For extra dimension, layer in a few transparent or clear ornaments, or even touches of metallic silver for a modern edge.
A red tree is also perfect for candy cane inspired themes or playful holiday settings. It instantly sets a festive tone without requiring an overload of decorations.
Choose Your Tree
Here’s a sample from Amazon in case you’re needing a new tree for your red and white themed Christmas tree this year:
Elegant & Luxe – Deep crimson, velvet ribbons, pearl white ornaemtns and touches of metallic gold or silver.
Playful & Whimsical – Striped patterns, polka dots, oversized candy canes, Santa hats and plush details.
Modern Minimalist – Clean lines, matte finishes and carefully balanced red and white decor with lots f negative space.
Whichever style you choose, keeping the red and white tones consistent helpts the tree look cohesive and polished.
Ornaments That Bring It All Together
Ornaments are where your personality really shines. A mix of finishes: glossy, matte, glitter or textured, adds depth to your design. Some popular ornament ideas for a red and white tree include:
Classic round baubles in red, white and a touch of metallic accent.
Striped candy cane ornaments for a playful, nostalgic touch.
Snowflake ornaments in white or silver to give a wintry feel.
Plaid or gingham baubles for a cozy, rustic look.
Santa hats, mittens or little stockings as accent ornaments.
Glass or clear ornaments filled with fake snow or red berries.
To keep your tree balanced, alternate colors as you decorate – don’t cluster too much red or white in one area.
Red and white trees look best when there’s a balance of shine, matte and textured elements. A few simple tricks:
Mix matte and glossy baubles to avoid a flat look.
Add picks, sprays and floral stems for fullness.
Use different sizes of ornaments to create depth and interest.
Layer ribbon or garland throughout the tree, rather than just wrapping it around the outside.
Don’t be afraid to use both colors for ribbon – a red velvet paired with white mesh or satin can create a beautiful layered effect.
Lighting Your Red and White Tree
Lighting plays a huge role in setting the mood. For a warm and cozy atmosphere, use classic warm white fairy lights. If you prefer a crisp, modern look, cool white or even soft red lighting can work beautifully.
Green trees often look best with warm white lights.
White trees pair well with either warm or cool lights, depending on your decor.
Red trees benefit from white or clear lights to let the red stand out.
Consider placing a few larger statement lights (like globe bubs or starbursts) throughout the tree for an extra touch of magic. You might also want to have a look at our discussion – Prelit vs Unlit Artificial Trees.
Tree Topper and Finishing Touches
A red and white tree topper can tie the entire look together. Traditional options include:
A bright red star or snowflake topper.
A big red bow with cascading ribbon tils.
A Santa hat for a playful, whimsical finish.
Around the base, use a white faux fur tree skirt for a snowy effect or a buffalo plaid skirt for a rustic farmhouse feel. For a modern twist, try a woven basket collar in white or natural tones.
Wrapping your gifts in coordinating red and white paper or ribbon extends the color story beyond the tree itself.
Decorating Ideas for a Red and White Theme
Candy Cane Wonderland
Leaning into the classic candy cane look is a fun and timeless choice that gives a nostalgic vibe. Use red and white striped ribbon, candy cane ornaments, peppermint swirls and bold red bows. Add artificial snow or flocking to give the tree a frosty touch. This theme works beautifully on any tree color – green, white or red.
Elegant Nordic Minimalism
If you prefer a more understated look, pair matte white ornaments with a few deep red accents and soft lighting. Add wooden decorations or simple white stars for a Scandinavian-inspired fool. This minimalist style looks especially lovely on a green or white tree. When it comes to the tree skirt, you might want to consider a sheepskin rug.
Glam and Sparkle
For those who love a little glitz, layer silver or clear glass ornaments into your red and white scheme. Add glittering snowflakes, crystal picks and white or metallic silver ribbon to create an elevated, elegant tree. This look is stunning on a white or red tree, where the sparkle can really shine.
Winter Wonderland with a Pop of Red
Stat with a white or flocked tree and keep most of your decorations white and silver. Then add pops of bold red ornaments for a striking contrast that feels both modern and elegant.
Rustic Red & White Farmhouse
Layer red berries, burlap ribbon, plaid ornaments and wooden accents for a cozy, country Christmas feel. Add white twinkle lights to keep it bright and warm. This cozy look is perfect on a green tree. Also check out Rustic Christmas Trees with Burlap & Natural Elements for more inspiration.
Elegant Luxe
Think deep crimson velvet ribbons, pearlescent white ornaments, crystal accents, and delicate silver garlands. It’s a sophisticated take on a classic color combo. This really suits white or green trees.
Hold the Presses – You Can Get a Red and White Christmas Tree!
While we’re talking about red and white themed Christmas tree what if I told you that you could buy a tree that is already red and white? I’ve only seen these on Amazon (but I have linked to it for you), but I think they are amazing.
They come in two different sizes and you can absolutely add some flickering fairy lights to make it look magical and some lovely ornaments, but personally I would be tempted to leave the ornaments off and just pop a tree topper and a skirt.
What colors go well with red and white on a Christmas tree?
Red and white pair beautifully with metallics like gold, silver or champagne. For a more natural look, add touches of green fro the tree or rustic wood tones.
Should I use a green or white tree for red and white decorations?
Both work well! A green tree gives a classic, cozy feel, while a white or flocked tree creates a clean winter wonderland look. It depends on your personal style.
How do I made a red and white tree look elegant rather than playful?
Choose deep reds and soft whites with metallic or crystal accents. Keep the ribbon structured and balanced and stick to a limited number of ornament types for a polished finish.
Can I decorate a red Christmas tree with other colors?
Absolutely! While white creates the most striking contrast, soft silver, gold and even blush tones can complement a red tree without overwhelming it.
Final Thoughts
A red and white Christmas tree is a timeless choice that can adapt to any style, from classic to contemporary. With the right mix of ornaments, ribbons and lighting, you can create a look that’s merry, bright and effortlessly festive.
Whether you prefer the charm of candy canes and playful patterns or the elegance of velvet ribbons and crystal ornaments, this color palette offers endless possibilities. It’s a look that never goes out of style and will make your holiday decor feel warm, welcoming and wonderfully complete.
