When it comes to decorating the artificial Christmas tree with ornaments and Christmas tree lights, red and gold has been done. What about a winter wonderland theme for the artificial Christmas tree? We’ve seen that before!

For people truly wishing for a fresh theme for their artificial Christmas tree this year, we have a few ideas for you:

Beach theme

Freezing in the cold of winter not your cup of tea? Bring the summer surf and sand into your holiday decorating scheme by introducing a beach theme to your artificial Christmas tree and its surroundings. Use seashells as ornaments, Christmas tree lights in aqua or a lighter blue and green to mimic the color of the ocean. Bring in a burlap sack filled with sand from the ocean to surround the foot of your artificial Christmas tree like a tree skirt. Sand toys can also be hung on your artificial Christmas tree instead of ornaments, and to top off your tree, try a large starfish. If you need inspiration, check out old family beach photos and use them as decoration too!

Chrismukkah

A mixed celebration of Hanukkah and Christmas is becoming more and more popular in many American homes around the nation. Fill your artificial Christmas tree with dreidels and gelt, and use a Star of David to top it. There are even Hanukkah themed Christmas ornaments out there, featuring the Star of David, and little chanukkias and menorahs. Combine two traditions into one with a blue and white color scheme (traditional colors of Hanukkah) on your artificial Christmas tree and Christmas lights in red and green.

Candyland

Isn’t the joy of Christmas really better as a kid? Then celebrate it to the fullest with a Candyland theme, a sure hit with children and adults alike. Use real candy canes to ornament the tree, or small bags of candy or chocolate to alternate as ornaments. As candy usually comes in holiday packaging, use those too! Hang little candy bars in holiday wrappers on your tree as a tempting treat, and have children proclaim your tree the best in the neighborhood. As an added bonus, you can eat the ornaments after the holidays! Now isn’t that something to look forward to?

Think out of the box this year when it comes to your artificial Christmas trees. It will make it a doubly fun holiday!
