Plan Ahead for a Stress-Free Holiday

I know some folks might think it’s a bit early to dive into Christmas plans, but trust me—preparing early is a game-changer! Pick a theme, like a snowman tree or something totally your own, and start scouting for deals. You can snag clearance items to build your decor stash, saving money and time for when the season hits. Get a head start on your planning.

Exploring Timeless Christmas Tree Themes

The trees in these photos rock specific themes, but don’t sweat trying to track down the exact products—some images are pretty old from my collection! Christmas themes are classics that never fade. Focus on the big picture: if a snowman theme catches your eye, grab snowballs, garlands, snowflake ornaments, and picks. Flocked sprays, icy glitter accents, or even big black top hats can bring that snowy vibe to life. Check out these quick links for Christmas goodies at Trendy Tree to kickstart your theme:

Add Charm with Ribbons and Creative Decor

Don’t forget to grab some ribbon while planning your Christmas tree! For a country-style tree, summertime finds like red and white gingham ribbon, galvanized pieces, or even cookie cutters can work wonders. One adorable idea I’ve seen is using small galvanized pails or buckets—fill them with holly, red tulips, cedar branches, or candy canes and tuck them into the branches. You don’t need exact ornaments to match a tree’s look; get creative! A cheap stuffed snowman from Walmart’s toy section can be just as cute as a fancy “snowman decoration.” Whether you stick to the same theme each year or mix it up, you can blend old treasures—like vintage handmade pieces from your kids or grandkids—with new finds for a fresh take. A retro tree is perfect for those keepsakes!

Enough Small Talk—Let’s See the Trees!

Grab your coffee and a notepad—it’s time to dive into these Christmas tree ideas! I’m adding fresh images to the categories all the time, aiming for around 500 when I’m done. Start exploring now and keep checking back for new additions.

Don’t be afraid to venture away from basic black and orange! Purples, lime green, and nowadays, you will even find red, pink, and yellow in Halloween decorations. Whimsical witches and goblins, black cats, witch leg picks, witch hats, and masks are great items to use for a Halloween tree. Don’t forget the candy corn!

Fall trees are stunning in shades of rust, amber, rich golden yellow, cream, and burgundy. Dried fruits are a favorite to use on fall trees with bundles of cinnamon sticks, persimmons, acorns, and nuts.
