These Christmas decorations are fun and affordable additions to any existing collection. If you keep up with each year’s newest trends, this is the list you’ve been looking for.
Decorating for Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love finding fabulous new staple pieces; this year has not disappointed me! Here are the top 9 trends in Christmas decor for 2024.
The Best Christmas Decor for 2024
1. Paper Christmas Trees
Paper Christmas trees are so fun and easy to see, and I love seeing them on this list. They are affordable, which is great because you’ll want quite a few. Bunching these together in different sizes and colors achieves the look.
These paper trees come in many different styles and colors to accommodate any aesthetic in any room of your house. They are perfect for filling spaces that need just a little more.
Here are three adorable paper Christmas tree options from Amazon:
If you’re crafty and enjoy creating your own Christmas decor, you can easily make your own paper Christmas trees. Watch this tutorial from Oksana FancyBloom. It shows how to make a dupe West Elm paper Christmas tree set.
These are so cute!

2. Christmas Tree Candles
Putting candles in your Christmas Tree this year is a hot topic. This practice originated in the Victorian Era when it was expected.
With our pre-lit Christmas trees and string lights today, candles have become a long-ago ditched practice for obvious reasons. No one wants the potential for a house fire just for some extra glam on your tree.
Thankfully, we have flameless candles today, so this lovely tradition can be revived without danger.
Having candles in your Christmas tree can be a beautiful addition, bringing in another light source and ornamentation.
Most tree candles come with clips, making attaching them to your tree easily. You can also control the lighting with a remote and timer, making it hassle-free.
Bring the vintage feel back into your tree decor with these flameless candles for your next Christmas tree!
This set from Amazon has good reviews and a reasonable price. If you add candles to your next tree, these are the perfect option.
3. Candy Themed Christmas Trees
The candy-theme decor is so much fun for so many reasons. The vibrant colors and fun shapes add a playful vibe that makes you want to smile.
There are many options, from traditional Christmas color lollipops for your tree to pastel macaroon ornaments. You can create 100 candy trees and not duplicate a single one.
Additionally, this theme is excellent for a kid’s room! My daughter always set up a candy-themed tree for her mini Christmas tree in her bedroom.
It made my heart so happy every time I looked at it. It matched her bubble gum pink walls and brought the fun of decorating into her space.
Today, women are bringing the candy theme to an entirely new level of chic, and I am all on board. Use your imagination and create a delectably decorated candy tree that adds a playful tone to your decor in 2024.
Here are some adorable candy Christmas tree accessories from Amazon for your sweet tree this year.
4. Felt or Wool Ornaments
Felt and Wool ornaments aren’t just for arts and crafts projects. These timeless ornaments offer a classic charm to any tree. Just looking at these brings a nostalgic feel.
These old-school ornaments are great because they are timeless. There is an array of options. You can choose from traditional cute little gingerbread men and candy canes. The super popular mushroom ornament is currently in huge demand.
These are also a DIY project you could do with your kids! A Christmas memory in the making that can grace your tree each year.
Here is an adorable traditional set of felt Christmas ornaments. I love the Santa here so much!
Also, mushrooms are all the rage right now for your Christmas tree. While I don’t know where this trend originated, I love a cute mushroom. These are a must-have for trending Christmas decor for 2024.
Here is a whimsical set of felt mushroom ornaments from Amazon.
5. Tree Alternatives
A Christmas tree alternative is just what it sounds like—a Christmas tree that isn’t traditional. This trend is on the up-and-coming trends list and is becoming increasingly popular yearly.
The fun part is that it can be done in so many ways. You can get really creative with it, and if you are creative, there are several ways you can make it unique and exciting.
Building a Christmas tree out of reclaimed wood is a great choice. I have also seen somewhere a person found a branch they liked from their backyard.
They spray painted it, placed it in a vase, and hung ornaments. It made an excellent tree alternative for her table’s centerpiece.
If you want to purchase a tree alternative, Amazon has a pretty wrought iron alternative. It has a more minimal look than your traditional tree while still keeping with the holiday spirit.
These tree ideas are great for someone just starting their Christmas collection but are limited in space. They are perfect for empty nesters looking to ditch the traditional tree process.
They also suit someone who owns cats and loves to attack the tree yearly. Lastly, they are ideal for someone looking for a more minimalist look.
Here is the Amazon tree I was telling you about:
6. Ornament Clusters
Ornament clusters are placing 3-7 ornaments tied together around different parts of your tree. You can use these ornament clusters on garlands. They can be hung from the ceiling and placed beside the tree.
It would help if you had a durable string. I like to use a fishing line as it’s solid. Choose your ball ornaments based on the colors and sizes your design calls for.
Run the string through the loop on the top of each ornament, tie them together, and viola! You have a cluster you can place anywhere you like.
Ornament clusters are also an affordable way to add glam to your Christmas Decor in multiple areas of your home. Large ornaments can also be used for outdoor decor. Get creative with it, and have fun!
Here are a few ornament sets that are perfect for creating ornament clusters:
7. Bronze Bells
Bronze bells are coming onto the trending list this year, and I can see why. These take the jingle bell up a notch, bringing rustic charm to your decor.
Bronze bells have also long been a symbol of Christmas. Families ring the bell on Christmas Eve to honor the birth of Jesus. While they have been around forever, this year, they are becoming a main event rather than the opening act.
Bronze bells are specifically famous for tree ornamentation this year. The rustic tree debuts next on this list. Logically, the bronze bell came to play this year.
Here are two bronze bell Christmas ornament options for your tree this year:
8. A Rustic Inspired Christmas Tree
Rustic-themed Christmas trees are still in full swing. Farmhouse rustic chic is here to stay for a while because the charm is undeniable.
Burlap and buffalo plaid ribbons and bows are great starting points for a rustic-themed Christmas tree. Add wooden ornaments for a charming touch.
Add the vintage vibe with the bronze bells mentioned above, and you have the ultimate trending tree.
Next, place the tree in a rattan collar with a rattan star topper, and your rustic tree will be complete. I love the vibe of a simple yet charming rustic Christmas tree, especially as a 2nd tree in your home.
If you are looking to start your rustic-themed tree this year, here are some staples you’ll absolutely need to get started:
9. Berries
Berries are another traditional Christmas accessory that has stood the test of time. They have always represented the winter, specifically the holiday season.
These will be on the trending Christmas decor for 2024 list and beyond.
Berries are versatile decoration pieces that add a pop of color where it’s needed. They also encourage the seasonal ambiance, making them the perfect filler.
Berries can be a filler and a statement. A large bouquet of berries in a vase makes a stunning centerpiece, and an all-berry wreath for the front door adds a vibrant touch.
These are a staple in your Christmas decor collection. No matter where you use them, you can’t go wrong. Here are the best-selling and top-rated bundle of berries from Amazon:
