If you’re ready to hang your stockings and fill them with the best toddler stocking stuffers, stocking stuffer ideas for men and cool gifts under $50—you’ll want to know about this year’s biggest tree trend. Blue Christmas trees are having a moment, and they’re so chic.
What is a blue Christmas tree, anyway?
“Blue Christmas trees are just what they sound like,” explains Joyce Nathan, a holiday design expert based in Mississippi.
“These are typically faux trees that are easily preserved so you can use them for multiple years. They’re especially popular with people who love bold, classic colors and interfaith families, who are adding a Hanukkah-inspired touch to their Christmas trees.”
Nathan suggests trying a blue true if you’re already into artificial Christmas trees and have either a blank, white-based canvas to worth with or walls and decor of opposite hues on the color wheel.

“I love putting a blue Christmas tree against white or beige walls, or against shades of pink, red or soft yellows. The contrast is breathtaking. These trees are also especially beautiful at beach houses and coastal cottages.”

Best overall: Six-Foot Blue Spruce Tree
We love the easy assembly and bushy shape of this handsome blue tree. Putting it together (and disassembling for next year) takes just a few minutes, and deeper, darker blue hue offers loads of eye-catching contrast to rooms of all types.
Dressing this one up with metallic ornaments is a guaranteed show-stopper.
Best for narrow spaces: Seven-Foot Blue Pencil Tree
If you’re working with a tight corner but still want the awesome appeal of an artificial blue Christmas tree, this seven-foot-tall pencil design is a brilliant pick. It features plenty of space to hang ornaments and tinsel while only spreading about two feet in diameter.
Assembly is easy, it’s flame-resistant and there are loads of colors to choose from (not sure blue). We also love how easily this one stores in a closet or attic, and it’s so affordable. Now all you need is a chocolate advent calendar!
Best pre-lit: 6.5-Foot Pre-Lit Tree with 300 LED Lights
If you’re low on time to decorate but you still want one of the most social media-worthy blue trees of all time, this gorgeously pre-lit faux spruce is a winner. It comes complete with 300 twinkly LEDs that promise years of use and easily assembly.
It’s worth every penny and then some, and we especially love this one for busy offices.
“I think it’s safe to say that this is the first time I have ever looked at a Christmas tree and said, ‘wow, that’s nice!’ and I didn’t realize that I have been so desensitized and bored to death with the average, traditional tree,” writes verified purchaser, The Owens Family. “This tree changed the game for me and how I felt about having a tree for the holidays.”
Best snow-flocked: Seven-Foot Snow-Flocked Blue Spruce Christmas Tree
It’s easy to see this blue beauty looks far more expensive than it really is. It’s the perfect backdrop to opening loads of the best gifts under $30 and sipping brews from coffee advent calendars. To say we’re obsessed with the coastal charm of this tree is an understatement.
Best blue Christmas tree topper: Sequined Holiday Topper
“If you’re opting for a blue tree, it’s important to complete the look from top to bottom,” says Nathan. “That means you need a dramatic-yet-classic tree topper in either a monochromatic hue with sparkles or light-reflecting dimension, or a bold contrast like full gold or silver.”
We love this sequined deep-blue tree topper that offers just the right amount of eye-catching holiday glitz.
Best blue tree skirt: 48-Inch Velvet Tree Skirt
Most blue Christmas trees come with basic metal bases, which is why it’s so important to create a finished, polished look. “Consider wrapping your blue tree in a rich blue, white or silver velvet skirt. These work nicely against city-style modern decor schemes, coastal vibes and country homes.”
Velvet is such a holiday season winner that we can’t help but fall in love with this design.
