Go big this year! Large ornaments, whether round baubles, oversized stars or giant snowflakes, are one of the biggest trends for Christmas 2025. They create instant drama and help fill out a tree beautifully.

Color-Blocked Trees

Instead of a full rainbow of colors, many decorators in 2025 are choosing a strong two-toe or monochrome palette. A black and gold tree, a white and aqua tree, a blue and silver tree or a blush and silver theme creates a striking, modern look.

• Style tip: Stick to no more than two dominant colors for a cohesive finish.
• Pairing colors: Black & gold, pink & silver, red & white are popular combos.
• Perfect for: Modern, chic homes.

Start with Black Christmas Ornaments or Aqua Christmas Ornaments as your base color.

Travel & Hobby Ornaments

Ornaments that reflect your personality – whether it’s a suitcase, a camera, a favorite sport or even your beloved pet – are becoming a must-have. They make trees feel personal and tell your story.

• Style tip: Mix hobby ornaments with complementary baubles to keep your tree balanced.
• Pairing colors: Any palette that reflects your personal taste.
• Perfect for: Making memories and celebrating milestones.

Layered Textures

Texture is playing a big role in 2025. Velvet ornaments, sequins, glitter, feathers and beaded details all add depth and richness. Layering multiple textures on the same tree keeps it dynamic and eye-catching.

• Style tip: Alternate textures so no two similar ornaments sit side by side.
• Pairing colors: Works beautifully with jewel tones and metallics.
• Perfect for: Luxe, glamorous or eclectic trees.

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? On this post we are talking about white Christmas ornaments which are a classic color for haning onto Chismtas trees. Let’s face it white ornaments are timeless and versatile and looks good no matter what other colors you’re adding to your tree.

White ornaments look great on their own but they also pair really well with clear or silver ornaments for a frosty wintery look. When you add them to a black Christmas tree you can make a really dramatic statement, especially with a few pops of red added in.

Turquoise or aqua ornaments pair really well with white ornaments for either a Winter Wonderland theme or a Cozy Coastal theme.

Pairing white with gold Christmas ornaments leaves you with a tree that says quiet sophistication. If you want more of a glamorous metallic mix which is very on trend this year the add silver to the mix.

Combining white ornaments to the traditional red & green makes the classic Christmas look see fresher.

If you love rustic themed Christmas tree then mixing white with beige, cream and wood tones is amazing – the layering of these neutral colors adds an elegant air to the rustic feel.

What Style of White Ornaments Work Best?

There are lots of different styles of white ornaments available. Starting with baubles you can get matte, glossy or glittered and using a combination of these finishes will really help to add depth and texture to your tree.

Icicle style ornaments really suit the color white and you can hang them up and let your imagination believe that Jack Frost visited your Christmas tree and left you some white ornaments as a calling card!

Another classic white ornament are White Snowflake Christmas Ornaments. I mean, really, can you use any other color but white for snowflakes? Okay so you can get them in lots of colors, but for me they should be white or silver to really bring home a touch of snow to your tree.

White Dove Christmas ornaments are another great ornament to have on your tree. Doves being a symbol of peach and Christmas being the perfect time for peace on earth these are a classic. In more recent years I have seen another white bird appearing on a number of Christmas trees – the Snowy Owl.

White Angel Christmas Ornaments are another classic that are often seen on trees. Traditionally the angel would be on the top of the tree looking after everyone gathered around, but over the years we’ve seen more and more smaller angel ornaments adorning trees.

Oher White Christmas Ornaments – there are so many other Christmas ornaments that are white that it is far too many to list here, but I do love polar bear Christmas ornaments and I have seen a number of these over the past few years (I even adorned my office table top Christmas tree in just polar bears a few years ago). Ice skates, ballerinas and pine cones are other themed ornaments I have seen in recent years.

Styling Tips

• Use flocked garlands or snowy sprays to enhance the wintry effect.
• Add glass or pearlized ornaments for texture and shine.
• Incorporate natural wood ornaments to balance modern elegance with rustic charm.

Perfect themes: Snowy Woodland, Classic Christmas or Modern Glam.

Choosing the right Christmas tree is often the first big decision of the season. Whether you lean toward a classic green or a snow-dusted white, there’s another choice that can make or break our decorating plans: pre-lit vs unlit artificial trees.

Both options have their fans and for good reason. The best one for you comes down to your style, budget and how much control you want over the finished look.

Personally I have always gotten the unlit ones as i have a collection of Christmas lights and like the freedom of choosing what lights to use each year. If you’re not sure read on and hopefully this post will help you choose what works best for you.

What is a Pre-lit Tree?

A pre-lit artificial Christmas tree comes with lights already installed throughout its branches. These light are typically LED, which means they last longer, use less energy and emit less heat than traditional bulbs. Most modern pre-lit trees offer warm white lighting, though many models now include multicolor settings or even app-controlled options.

Pros of Pre-lit Trees:

• Instant glow: No untangling strings of lights or trying to get even coverage.
• Fewer cords: One plug for the entire tree means less fuss and a tidier look.
• Faster decorating: You can jump straight into ornaments, garlands and ribbons.

Cons of Pre-lit Trees:

• Less flexibility: Thy light placement is fixed, so it may not suit every decorating style.
• Harder to replace lights: IF a section goes out, troubleshooting can be tricky.
• Higher upfront cost: Pre-lit models usually cost more than unlit ones.

What is an Unlit Tree?

An unlit artificial tree is exactly what it sounds like – a blank canvas without any built-in lighting. You can add your own lights, choose the type of bulbs and customize the layout to your liking.

Pros of Unlit Trees:

• Creative freedom: Choose warm or cool lights, multicolor, vintage bulbs or twinkling strands.
• Easier to refresh: You can replace or update your lighting from year to year.
• Often more affordable: Unlit trees usually cost less upfront.

Cons of Unlit Trees:

• More setup time: Stringing lights evenly can be a challenge.
• More storage: You’ll have to store both the tree and separate lights.
• Wiring mess: It can take longer to hide cords for a clean look.

Which One is Right for You?

If you love a quick and easy setup with a polished look, a pre-lit tree is a great choice. If you prefer more creative control – or love to change your color scheme each year – an unlit tree gives you the flexibility you need. Also, remember that no matter which option you choose you should always fluff your tree for the best look!

Pro tip: Some people combine the two – starting with a warm white pre-lit tree and layering on extra lights for a custom effect.

Whichever option you choose, the key is picking a high-quality tree with strong branch tips and a realistic silhouette. A little planning now can make you holiday decorating smoother and more magical.

Silver ornaments bring frosty sparkle and elegance to your Christmas tree. Their cool shimmer makes them perfect for a Winter Wonderland theme or for adding shine to any palette.

Pair silver with white and blue Christmas ornaments for a magical icy effect, or with black for a modern striking contrast. Any shade of blue works well from dark navy right through to pastel baby blue. A more modern look is combining silver with aqua – just the color combination is great, but you can also use this as a base for a coastal charm theme.

Silver also layers beautifully with gold or copper for a mixed-metal luxury look. Mixed metallics are very in at the moment and people often stick with gold, bronze and copper forgetting that silver works well as well – adding a cool tone to the other warmer metals.

Combining silver with jewel tones works well as it balances the warm of emerald greens, burgundy, royal blues & regal purple with a little coolness that just pulls things together really well.

An amazing idea for incorporating silver ornaments is if you’re going for a Hollywood glam tree – combine your silver ornaments with black and white ornaments and add in either camera ornaments, celebrity ornaments or microphone ornaments. This is a striking theme.

Use silver mirrored disco ball ornaments with neon colors for a fun retro disco theme.

I absolutely love silver ornaments on a tree because of how versatile they can be – I often think of silver ornaments being to a Christmas tree what a little black dress is to a ladies wardrobe!

Different Styles of Silver Ornaments

As well as the plain silver baubles which I love, silver ornaments are great in other shapes and styles.

• Mirrored Disco Balls: These also help to reflect light from your Christmas lights so are great especially if you’re using a black Christmas tree or darker decor on your tree.
• Filigree: Silver filigree ornaments add a touch of elegant sophistication to a tree and can also add some vintage charm.
• Snowflake: As silver is often used in Winter Wonderland themed trees snowflakes are a great shape ornament to add to the tree.
• Icicle: I think silver and white both look so good in this style of ornament. If you have a shorter tree it also gives the illusion of height if you place them near the tips of the branches. If you place them deeper it adds more depth.
• Pine Cones: I love this style of ornament as it brings back memories of my childhood where we would gather actual pine cones and my mother would let us spray paint them gold or silver to decorate the tree.
• Teardrops: Silver teardrop ornaments add elegance to a tree, especially the really long elongated teardrop ornaments. Perfect for an elegant frosty theme or a black and silver dramatic theme.
• Themed: There are a number of themed silver ornaments available including birds, words and angels.

Styling Tips

• Use clear glass ornaments alongside silver for an ethereal effect.
• Add snowflake, icicle or star ornaments to play into the frosty vibe.
• Wrap your tree in silver ribbon or tinsel for extra sparkle.

Perfect themes: Winter Wonderland, Mixed metallics, Elegant Frost or Retro Disco.
