Discovering the latest Christmas tree decorations to spruce up your space for the season is always exciting. It’s a shopping haul like no other, full of festivity, magic, and all things glitter and sparkle.
Whether you've opted for a traditional fir or an alternative Christmas tree idea, no one can resist buying a new bauble. You might be shopping for an entirely new aesthetic, with baubles and bows galore, or perhaps you want to add to your current collection with a couple of trinkets. Either way, there are tons of decorations to choose from.
The best Christmas tree decorations of 2025
Every year, it seems like there's a new Christmas tree trend. We've looked for Christmas tree decorations that you can use year after year to create a classic look that also complements any new styles that arise.
You’ll find popular decor that won’t look out of place and plenty of timeless pieces to last you through to next year, including some inspired by Victoria Beckham's minimalist pieces, as well as style advice on what's trending now to inspire your 2025 Christmas tree decorating ideas.
Christmas Bauble sets
No tree is complete without a bauble set. It's always a good idea to stick with classic colours if you want these to be the base of your tree decoration (I look for red, green, silver, gold, or white). Then, when you want to add more colour and fun, you can pick up specific styles and designs.
RRP: £6.59 | Material: glass | Set size: 24 | This classy assortment of shiny, matte, and clear mini baubles is perfect for creating a green colour scheme on your tree. The tops come capped, perfect for adding your own twine.
RRP: £14 | Material: mixed | Set size: 8 | This set of fun, bright baubles looks great on a tree, mantle, or door. The clean checks are reminiscent of candy canes and Christmas fun. They're a firm favourite and shatterproof, perfect for busy households or curious pets.
RRP: £40 | Material: glass | Set size: 12 | I love this classy, glass collection for adding some chic depth to your tree. The shiny and sparkly finishes come in a range of shapes, so you won't need many other decorations on your tree.
RRP: £48 | Material: papier-mâché | Set size: 9 | This homely set is hand-painted and made from recycled paper. I love the charming character that each brings to your tree. The velvet ribbon and colours firmly establish these as heirlooms that will be treasured, year after year.
RRP: £5 | Material: Mixed | Set size: 24 | These baubles are the perfect addition to your tree, and for just £5, they really pack a festive punch. With varying colours and textures, they'll be sure to become a firm favourite.
RRP: £3 | Material: Plastic | Set size: 9 | If you're ready to inject some bold colours and fun shapes into your tree this year, these light-shaped baubles are just the thing. They're even great for adding to wreaths and your Christmas tablescape trend.
Glass Christmas Tree Decorations
Glass is something many are always wary of (because of the obvious shattering issue), but these are all durably built, with well-built hangers that will keep the baubles stable. They're perfect for adding some sparkle to your tree without the fear of any breakages.
RRP: £6 | Material: Glass | Set size: 1 | These baubles look as beautiful in person as they do on the website. Elegant and sparkly, they glisten on the tree. The only downside is that they are very fragile: not to be hung near furry friends.
RRP: £30 | Material: glass | Set size: 12 | Delicate and undeniably charming, these glass candy cane clusters are delicately hung on organza ribbon in clusters of three. Perfect for hanging on your tree or even on door handles and garlands.
RRP: £8 | Material: Borosilicate glass| Set size: 4 | I would have never thought to decorate a tree with glass sweets, but these delicate yet durable baubles make for a stunning addition to the tree. They're charming and classy. A firm favourite.
Ceramic Tree Decorations
Ceramic seems to be everywhere this year, and it's easy to see why. The tonal colours look great with bright or other simple decorations, bringing the 'chic' to your Christmas decor.
RRP: £20 | Material: porcelain | Set size: 6 | This set has everything you could want for your Christmas tree, with hearts, stars and trees; there's not a festive motif missing. All are made with white porcelain and come with a chic velvet tie for hanging.
RRP: £3.50 | Material: ceramic | Set size: 1 | This ornament has all our favourite things, it's made from quality materials, has an incredibly charming design, and it even lights up. If you want to add another level of cosy to your home, this mini light-up house is just the thing.
RRP: £15 | Material: ceramic | Set size: 4 | Of course, The White Company has your ceramic Christmas sorted. These doves look stunning, soaring across your tree with a rustic jute tie. Astute decorators will spot that each dove is different from the other – a gorgeous touch.
Felt decorations
If you've had a look at any of the supermarket decorations, you'll have seen felt animals and characters all over the shelves. They're an adorable, cosy addition to any tree (whether you have little ones or not).
RRP: £20 | Material: wool | Set size: 6 | I can't resist a little snowman on my Christmas tree, and this set of six is simply adorable. Handcrafted from Nepalese wool, these double up as present toppers and napkin ties too.
RRP: £9.99 | Material: wool | Set size: 2 | It's not Christmas without a jolly little pudding. This miniature duo is served up with holly springs and gorgeous berries - all that's left to do is get a taste of the real thing.
RRP: £17.99 | Material: wool | Set size: 3 | These trees are much longer and bigger than I expected, but that makes them special. You could pop them on a door handle, on a mantle, or on your tree. They're easy to style and even easier to love.
Family-friendly animal decorations
As is the case with the felt decorations, these little characters will add some fun to your home. Hang them off the tree or doorknobs. They're really versatile.
RRP: £9.50 | Material: wool | Set size: 1 | This reindeer is a little more expensive than some of the other festive friends around, but he's worth it. You can see that Rudolph is a little bigger than some of the other decorations, and he's wearing a charming wreath too.
RRP: £8 | Material: beads | Set size: 1 | Quirky and fun, this lobster adds a splash of nautical decor to your tree. He feels expertly made, but doesn't come with a huge price tag. I'm tempted to bag a few as gifts.
RRP: £6 | Material: fabric and polyester | Set size: 8 | If you have little ones around this Christmas, they will love these Gonks. They're adorable, fluffy, and will add some humour to your tree. I love how petite these are.
Novelty Baubles
It's always fun to have some colour and texture on your tree, which is why I looked for some cheap and cheerful additions to your tree. These all stole a spot on my branches.
RRP: £4.50 | Material: Felt | Set size: 1 | Robins are a Christmas essential, and this chubby decoration is one of my favourites. Aptly named Rowan the Robin, it's hard not to fall in love with this little guy and his woolly bobble hat.
RRP: £5 | Material: Felt | Set size: 1 | Introduce this festive favourite to your tree and welcome Mrs Claus with her charming outfit and decorative star garland. For just £5, this ornament has so much detail and will stick around for Christmases to come.
RRP: £2 | Material: plastic| Set size: 6 | Speaking of colour and candy canes, don't miss this pack of six. It's an incredible value, and all the candy canes look premium. You'll only need one or two packs, even for a big tree.
Luxury Baubles
It's always worth investing in your tree decorations, because you can bring them out year after year. These cost a little more than your supermarket pieces, but they'll become heirlooms immediately and make your Christmas tree look more expensive.
RRP: £22 | Material: wood | Set size: 6 | It's easy to tell that these have been lovingly carved from wood and hand-painted too, because they feel like a personal, family favourite. I love the folky aesthetic, especially because they actually jingle too.
RRP: £20 | Material: Fabric and thread | Set size: 1 | Elevate your tree with this embroidered Honey Bee Christmas ornament, which is handmade in India. It's made with a method used to decorate historic court finery, so it will shine incredibly bright on your tree.
RRP: £12 | Material: beads and fabric | Set size: 1
Beaded ornaments are going to be big this year, and this one is certainly a firm favourite. With a combination of pearlescent beads and ruby red sequins, what's not to love about this festive tree addition?
What is the most popular Christmas decoration?
"Last year, themed and novelty decorations were a big hit, and we expect that to be the case again, with decorations such as Father Christmas on an inflatable flamingo tipped to be a best seller,” says Sam Hood, Chief Creative Officer and co-founder of AMARA.com
Whether it's a Christmas wreath, garland, throw cushion, or even a doormat, there are Christmas home decor buys galore. And while we’d love to buy it all, there are limits to how much we can fit in, without going full-grotto and having big budgets to work with.
So aside from picking up a few new tree decorations, Sam says, “Entertaining is going to be even more popular than ever, and we are expecting our customers to be going all out when it comes to tablescaping this year!"
Once you've got your Christmas tree decorations picked out, all that's left to choose is a Christmas tree topper.
