One of my favorite parts of decorating for the holidays is choosing the theme for the big Christmas tree. Every year, I look forward to trying something new, finding inspiration in all of my favorite shops. Classic, traditional, modern, chic, pretty, rustic — there are so many choices! This year, it’s going to be so hard to choose. But I’ve narrowed it down quite a bit… here are my picks for 7 beautiful Christmas tree themes…

Use the candy cane theme to trim a small tree in a child’s room or play room and watch their little eyes Iight up every time you plug it in! These canes are perfect, too, because they’re made to reflect the lights, all glitter in a rainbow of greens, reds, and whites.

I have a thing for owls, so this is the theme I’m using for my big tree this year. I’m fond of this chubby little owl in particular, all done in silver and white with touches of iridescent glitter. I plan to finish the theme with a few smaller owls in bright colors, but this one’s my favorite!
