Small Trees, Big Cheer: Charming Tabletop Christmas Trees for Every Holiday Style
Nov 26th 2025

A Christmas tree is one of the most iconic symbols of the season. This beloved decoration evokes fond memories of past holidays, family gatherings and activities that occur just once a year.
While a large pine tree is usually the focal point of the Christmas celebration, it often isn’t the only decoration used to spread holiday cheer. Wreaths, garland and lights help infuse homes with the spirit of the season.
At one time, Christmas decorations were mainly limited to the room where you displayed the tree. Today's Christmas decor, however, may touch every room in the home, including bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
Furthermore, given their variety and compact size, one of the best ways to spread Christmas cheer throughout the house is with tabletop decorations.
Small decorations come in a wide range of styles and themes, taking up very little room on tables, mantels, countertops and shelves. Yet, because they are special to the Christmas season, they add a special holiday touch.
Christmas tree tabletop decor, in particular, sparks the same kind of warmth you feel when admiring your beautifully decorated tree.
Below, we’ve highlighted a few of our favorite tabletop Christmas trees for you to consider adding to your holiday displays this year.
Traditional

Certain Christmas decorations never completely go out of style – that’s what makes them traditional. Think red and green color combos, complemented by touches of gold and glitter, or sweet-looking gingerbread figures. If you’re into traditional Christmas decor, your decorations may look a bit like your grandmother’s. In fact, she probably enjoyed her ceramic Christmas tree as much as you love your retro redux!
Modern

Clean lines and streamlined forms define modern Christmas decor. The fresh look of contemporary Christmas decorations is sometimes enhanced by updated materials or by using traditional materials in new ways. Look for modern lighting treatments, too, including LED and color-changing lights.

Rustic

Rustic Christmas decor feels natural, cozy and homey. It often appears handcrafted, incorporating organic materials like seed pods and pinecones. Look for unfinished or lightly finished wood, simple textiles and recycled materials in rustic Christmas decor that can complement a natural, cottage, ski lodge, country or farmhouse theme.
Here’s a wood Christmas tree with simple style. This lightly whitewashed 23-inch Christmas tree decoration stands tall on a mantel, entry table or serving table. Decorated with a red and gold garland of letters that spell out “Merry and Bright,” our wooden tree makes a cheerful accent near a fireplace, on an entry table or with a collection of other Christmas tree decorations.
The Ideal Accent for Your Holiday Decor
Whatever your holiday style, tabletop trees offer an easy way to sprinkle a bit of Christmas wonder throughout your home. Their small size makes them wonderfully versatile, but it’s the charm they bring to every corner that truly sets them apart.
While they easily complement your holiday decor, not all tabletop trees need to be Christmas trees. Pine tree decorations with a serene or woodsy look can just as easily set the mood for the holidays and remain part of your winter decor well through January.
