Embrace a Sunny Christmas with a Tropical Twist

The classic, evergreen Christmas tree is a quintessential holiday emblem. Numerous songs, films, and an array of decorations underline the lush, conical fir tree as the holiday ideal. However, not every home features this traditional tree. The nearer you are to the equator, the scarcer the fir trees and the tougher they are to procure. Instead, a tropical tree can be an excellent option for those in milder climates, individuals seeking a unique touch, or those traveling to warm destinations for the holidays. Here are some fantastic alternatives for a tropical Christmas (regardless of the weather outside!). 

Christmas Palm Tree

Celebrating Christmas in warm regions might seem too hot for a typical evergreen tree. Additionally, obtaining a traditional tree in such locales can be quite costly. Embrace local flora and transform a common palm into your holiday focal point. A smaller, potted palm tree can be stunning year-round but may need an extra sparkle during the Christmas season. Adorn it with white or colored lights wrapped around the trunk and leaves for a festive appearance. Depending on the foliage, small ornaments can either hang from the branches or be attached to the trunk. If a permanent potted palm isn’t feasible, many home-improvement stores offer tropical options during the holidays. Alternatively, finding a faux, pre-lit tropical tree online is a convenient option. 

Tropical Ornaments

Perhaps a traditional Christmas tree is your preference regardless of the season, and a palm won’t do. Yet, if you have a passion for everything tropical, why not decorate your tree with tropical-themed ornaments? Gift All Season offers an extensive collection of stunning tropical ornaments. The Christmas palm tree ornament is an epitome of tropical holiday decor, but it’s hard to choose between it and the popular surfer Santa ornament, flamingo, mermaid, and the pufferfish ornaments. Our selection of seashore and beach ornaments is a must-see. Besides tropical ornaments, warm-weather items like bunting flags, beach balls, shells, faux starfish, and faux tropical flowers can be added to the tree for extra color. 

Vivid Variations

To truly enhance the tropical motif, consider a faux Christmas tree in a striking color. A pink, blue, or white tree sets the perfect scene for tropical fish, flamingos, and vibrant lights. Customize a faux white tree with spray paint to achieve your desired hue. For a tropical tree, think beyond the conventional star topper. Perhaps a plastic flamingo, conch shell, or paper pineapple would provide a unique finishing touch. Though not specifically tropical, our collection of retro Christmas ornaments with reflectors can add color, glitter, and a mid-century modern flair to your tree.

Clearly, we adore Christmas trees. We admire a traditional evergreen tree adorned with beautiful ornaments just as much as we cherish diversity. A pink tree with vivid ornaments or a palm tree with lights embodies the Christmas spirit and provides ample space for gifts. This year, consider embracing a tropical Christmas tree, whether you’re celebrating seaside or amidst the snow.
