Best Christmas Tree Ornaments for 2024

Complete your home's holiday look with modern Christmas tree ornaments that light up the room. Whether you prefer the classic look of a tannenbaum filled with metallic balls or the more eclectic approach of different tree ornaments for each branch, nothing says the holidays are here like hanging Christmas ornaments with the family. To give your annual tree trimming a personalized feel, use a mix of vintage ornaments from holidays past and new Christmas baubles. Maintain a cohesive look by selecting pieces that fit within the color scheme of your other decorations; think white and iridescent glass ornaments for a winter wonderland theme, or large Christmas ornaments in metallic hues for a luxe feel. Looking for kids' Christmas decorating ideas? Cute ornaments bring smiles to family members of all ages and make the perfect backdrop for next year's holiday card photo. If older children want a role in the festivities, let them have a say in this year's new ornaments and where they go on the boughs. Then complete the look by helping your little one place the tree topper—just make sure to select one that complements the rest of the Christmas ornaments. To fill the living room (and the rest of your home) with holiday cheer, use the leftover tree ornaments as decorations for the dining room table, cabinets, banisters and anywhere else that needs a little sparkle.

Christmas Ornament Sets

Not only do Christmas ornament sets make choosing tree decorations a breeze, they also help give your tree a cohesive look. For a sleek, contemporary vibe, consider trimming the tree with only baubles from one or two sets of stylish Xmas ornaments, or use a simple set as an anchor and hang the remaining boughs with more eclectic pieces.

Red and Green Xmas Tree Ornaments

If tradition is your favorite part of the holiday season, opt for red and green Christmas ornaments to create a timeless-looking tree. These classic hues elevate a variety of ornament styles, from contemporary geometric designs to familiar favorites featuring Santa Claus, polar bears and other seasonal friends.

Metallic Tree Ornaments

Add some sparkle to your tree decor with silver and gold ornaments. From bright glitter to iridescent glass and gold tinsel, metallic Christmas tree ornaments bring a touch of glamour to your holiday setup. Use these eye-catching, elegant ornament decorations to add a bit of visual interest to matte white decorations, or opt for a rich look by coordinating them with jewel-toned accents of deep blue and emerald green.

White and Wood Christmas Ornament Decor

Stay cozy with a mix of white and wooden ornaments for the Christmas tree. Charmingly simple, white ornament decorations let the natural beauty of the tree take center stage. When combined with wood tree ornaments, they create a warm aesthetic reminiscent of a wintery lodge. To complete the look, drape the mantle with evergreen garland and hang with cable knit stockings, then sit back and enjoy the warmth of a roaring blaze.

Animal Christmas Ornaments

Add a few friendly faces to your tree with animal Christmas ornaments. For a traditional feel, opt for classic winter creatures, such as reindeer, polar bears and penguins, then carry the theme throughout the room with coordinating Christmas pillows. Or, take a playful approach with alpaca or crochet Christmas ornament decorations in the shape of other favorite critters, such as cats and dogs. Decking the halls with little ones? These decorative ornaments are also a great way to fill a kid's room with holiday cheer.

Star and Snowflake Christmas Tree Decorations

Bright as the winter snow are snowflake and star ornaments for the Christmas tree. Complementary to modern and classic Christmas tree styles alike, their bright glitter and delicate designs make these classy Xmas ornaments beautiful additions to your holiday decor. Pair them with white twinkle lights and watch them sparkle in the glow.

Photo Frame Ornaments for Christmas

Decorate a tannenbaum that's uniquely yours with frame ornaments to showcase photos of your favorite family memories. Start a special tradition with the kids or grandkids by selecting a new keepsake frame ornament each year and filling it with a recent snapshot of them to commemorate their growth. These Xmas tree decorations are also great ways to record the years' family milestones, such as births and weddings. Also consider gifting them as thoughtful stocking stuffers.

Ball Christmas Ornaments

Classic and elegant, Christmas balls are a tree-decorating essential. Let them shine on their own, or balance simple Christmas baubles with more ornate pieces. For a look that brings back all the charm of years past, opt for traditional red and green Christmas tree balls, or go for a glam look with silver and gold trimmings.

Accessorizing Your Christmas Ornaments

No matter which style of Christmas ornament you opt for, don't forget the lights; they help your Xmas tree ornaments sparkle and catch the eye of holiday guests. Round out the look with a sparkling tree topper to draw the eyes upward and a tree collar or tree skirt for the base; not only do they give the bottoms of faux Christmas trees a more polished look, they also help contain stray needles from live ones. From modern ornaments to styles inspired by holiday traditions, delight in the fact that your quality Christmas tree ornaments and accessories will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Where can I buy Christmas ornaments?

You can purchase high-quality, unique Christmas ornaments from us online 24/7, or at your local Crate & Barrel store. When possible, consider shopping in-person; we love celebrating the holidays, so head to your nearest location to enjoy our displays of Xmas ornaments, decor, stockings, tree accessories and more.

How many ornaments do I need for a 7-foot tree?

To adequately cover a seven-foot Christmas tree, you'll need at least 84 ornaments, or 12 ornaments per foot. If you prefer fuller coverage, double that number and purchase around 168 Christmas baubles instead. You can use this rule to find the number of Christmas tree decorations you need for a tree of any size; simply multiply the height in feet of the tree by 12 for light coverage or by 24 for a maximalist look.

How do I hang ornaments without hooks?

While most holiday ornaments come with a means of hanging, those that do not can also be suspended from the branches of your tree with pre-made Christmas ornament hooks that hook into the loop at the top of the bauble. If you've got children or pets at home, consider using ribbon or wire to hang your ornaments; because these fasteners actually wrap around the branch rather than simply dangle from it, they hold the decorations more securely in the event that rambunctious little ones bump into the tree.
