25 best novelty Christmas tree decorations

Regular readers will know that I love a good Christmas decorating theme. However, when it comes to the tree things are rather different. My collection of tree decorations dates back years. Some belonged to my Grandmother, some I remember from my childhood and some have been gifts from friends. I like to add one or two new Christmas tree decorations every year, so overall my collection is pretty eclectic. So long as it makes me smile, it goes on the tree!

Therefore anything from the weird and wonderful range of novelty tree decorations available today would fit right in. Traditional festive characters such as Santa or Frosty can be joined by flamingos, sloths or llamas. Holly and mistletoe can hang alongside pineapples and cacti. Angels can ride unicorns and rainbows.

I’m also seeing lots of food and drink themed decorations this year. Keep the festive spirit alive with your favourite holiday tipple. Give your foodie pal an avocado or even an aubergine (oo-er!).

If you want to go one step further you could consider a pink or rainbow Christmas tree. Find more of my kitsch Christmas decor ideas here.

Etsy is a great source of unique handmade decorations, with everything from llamas to Princess Leia. A cute little felt plushie of a friend’s favourite super hero would make a fun gift. Plus shopping on Etsy has the added benefit of supporting small businesses and independent artisans.
