RAZ Imports 2026 Christmas Tree Inspiration
One of my favorite ways to gather ideas for holiday decorating each year is by looking at the beautifully styled trees created by RAZ Imports. Their collections always feature themed Christmas trees filled with coordinated ornaments, ribbon, sprays, and decorative accents that make it easy to imagine different decorating styles for your own home.
Normally I try to attend the Dallas or Atlanta markets so I can take my own photos and video of the decorated showroom trees. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it this year, so for this post I’m relying mainly on stock images provided by RAZ Imports.
I will admit I was a little disappointed that many of the photos only show a portion or midsection of the trees rather than the full design. Still, even a close-up view of these decorated trees provides plenty of inspiration. You can still pick up great ideas for color palettes, ribbon combinations, ornament styles, and layering techniques.
Why It’s Never Too Early to Plan Your Christmas Tree
When it comes to Christmas decorating, it’s never too early to start planning. Starting well in advance of the season gives you time to take advantage of sales, gather decorations throughout the year, and build a collection of pieces you truly love.
If you enjoy DIY projects or making your own ornaments, starting early is even better. Handmade decorations take time, and spreading those projects out over the year makes holiday decorating much more enjoyable when the season arrives.
The RAZ Imports collections always include a wide variety of styles—from classic red and white themes to whimsical vintage designs and elegant metallic looks. Even though we’re only seeing parts of the trees here, they still offer wonderful Christmas tree decorating inspiration for planning your holiday decor.
Below are a few of the decorated trees from the RAZ Imports 2026 collections that caught my eye and sparked some great decorating ideas.

The Home for the Holidays tree celebrates timeless Christmas style with rich red ribbons and bold traditional plaids woven throughout the branches. Nutcracker ornaments, Santa figures, and classic holiday motifs give the tree a nostalgic, storybook charm.
One trend that stood out last season—and clearly continues this year—is the influence of Ralph Lauren–inspired holiday décor. The mix of deep plaids, elegant reds, and layered textures feels very much like that classic Ralph Lauren holiday aesthetic seen in ribbons, linens, and home décor.
What makes this tree especially interesting is the addition of Chinoiserie-inspired ornaments, including blue-and-white porcelain-style pieces that add contrast and sophistication. Combined with clusters of berries, fruit accents, and traditional glass ornaments, the result is a warm and layered tree that feels both classic and designer-inspired.

Final Thoughts on the 2026 Christmas Trees
Overall, I have to admit that I wasn’t quite as excited about the 2026 trees as I usually am each year. That may partly be because I didn’t get to attend the Dallas or Atlanta markets this time and see the trees up close in the showroom. Sometimes the details, textures, and scale of the ornaments make a big difference when viewed in person.
One thing that stood out to me was a shift in style. The trees seemed to rely more on beautiful ornament collections rather than large statement pieces, and there felt like a little less whimsy than in some past seasons. I also noticed something else missing—not a single elf! If you’ve followed holiday collections for a while, you know those playful characters usually show up somewhere.
Color-wise, there were some trends that I really enjoyed. Multicolor décor made a strong appearance, and many of the trees featured rich jewel tones. I also noticed a move away from the bright lime greens we’ve seen in recent years, with more emerald and softer sage greens appearing throughout the collections.
There is still one tree I’m hoping to see from the collection called Northern Lights. So far I haven’t found an image available, but if it becomes available later, I’ll definitely add it to this post.
Of course, this is just one perspective from viewing the images available so far. Sometimes collections grow on you once you start seeing the ornaments individually and imagining how they might work in your own décor.
So what do you think about the 2026 themes so far?
Are you already inspired by any of these trees, or are you taking a wait-and-see approach to see what other holiday collections appear this year?
Planning Your Christmas Tree Early
If you’re planning your holiday décor early, browsing decorated trees like these can be a great way to gather ideas for color palettes, ornament collections, and ribbon styles. I also have a collection of Christmas tree inspiration posts dating back to 2010, so there are plenty of past designs and decorating themes to explore as you plan your own tree. Starting early gives you time to collect pieces you love and create a Christmas tree that feels uniquely your own.
