Decorating artificial trees can be a breeze - However the challenge to be original is ever-present. If you’re running short on ideas, here are a few decorative Christmas tree themes you can implement this season, as well as in seasons to come:

Candy Land Christmas Tree Theme

If you have a sweet tooth, then this is one of the best Christmas tree themes for you! Purchase styrofoam balls at your local arts and crafts supply store and paint them in bright color to make them look like gumballs. Styrofoam candy canes, styrofoam snow flakes and snowmen all add a little cheer to this theme. Maybe forget about the traditional colors of red and white, and get creative? The key to this artificial trees theme is color and lots of it!

Solid Gold Christmas Tree Theme

All that glitters is gold and this is one color that matches traditional green artificial trees way too well. Use gold glitter to add a real sparkle to holiday festivities, wire star ornament and cover in gold paint, and get some gold artificial Christmas tree to scatter around the house. Gold tinsel and garlands also perpetuate one of the most lavish Christmas tree themes you can create.

Winter Harvest Christmas Tree Theme

This Christmas tree theme is achieved by hanging plastic or real fruit and vegetable on your tree, plastic of course lasting longer. Plastic fruit can be found at many department stores, and allowed to hang via string, wire or hooks. Grapes are great, setting off the green artificial trees, garlands and wreaths. Fall and winter bounty, like squashes, can be set amidst garland over the mantle, or tucked beneath the tree. Top your tree with a cornucopia to finish the look!

Creepy Christmas Tree Theme

Fans of Tim Burton will definitely love this Christmas tree theme combination of Christmas and Halloween. Stock pile ornaments in shades of blue, black and purple and those artificial cobwebs. Drape the cobwebs across the branches of your artificial Christmas tree and combine them with strings of black ribbon. Feel free to hang miniature voodoo dolls, zombies and spiders on the branches. This is a great and unique theme to extend outside as well.

Sporty Christmas Tree Theme

Christmas tree themes for sports fans are fun and exciting, and easy to create. Substitute tennis balls, golf balls, and ping pong balls for ornaments on your tree. Basketballs and volleyballs and other sports memorabelia can be spread around the home. In lieu of traditional garland placed on Christmas trees, purchase a string of plastic pennants strung, spelling out a holiday message if you can. Top your tree off with a football to complete this theme.

We hope these Christmas tree themes got your creative juices flowing for at least a few more holiday celebrations! …Or maybe inspired new ones?
