Trimming the tree is an important part of Christmas decor. These small tokens that hang on the branches offer an unconventional form of personal expression. By incorporating specific ornaments into the overall decoration, you can create a customized tree that celebrates who you are and the memories you’ve made over time.
Baubles are a popular way to trim a tree, but they are far from the most creative. Almost anything can be an ornament! Whether your up your holiday decor by hanging something unconventional from your tree or go for a classic motif like Santa Claus, snowflakes, or reindeer, there are plenty of baubles to choose from. Some people like a cohesive look, opting to hang glass balls in just one or two colors, while others like a glittery festive tree that throws caution to the wind.
Ornaments also come in all types of materials. Glass ornaments are popular and can be both traditional or contemporary depending on what you select. If you have kids in the house and don't want to worry about breakage, fabric, wool, and felt also add a nice folksy touch to any tree.
To showcase some of the artistic possibilities that you can hang on your tree, we’ve gathered a selection of modern ornaments that are fun and quirky. There’s something for everyone here, from the millennial who can’t get enough of avocado toast to the llama lover to the creative artist. Each will give your tree personality and will be fun to hang year after year.
Check out the best creative Christmas ornaments, below.
And if you want to get even more creative, make your own ornaments using our DIY Christmas ornament guide.
