We love a traditional Christmas scene as much as the next, but with this year's Mary Poppins inspired decorations and colourful, exotic Christmas decorating styles, we say have a little fun.
So add some circus inspired action to your Christmas tree this year. A little bit kitsch, but oh-so-lovely, we're certain these bonkers baubles will become treasured heirloom pieces.

Pounce into the festive season with the V&A's ethically sourced, handmade Christmas decorations. Crafted in Thailand, this tiger is adorned with sparkly gold embroidery known as zardozi – a rare and respected craft that originated in Persia, and which is represented in the Museum’s Indian textiles collection.
Who knew the Petersham Nurseries had an online shop? It's full of one-off pieces like this gorgeous paper horse, so blink and you'll miss them! An online shop to add to your bookmarked tabs, pronto.
Anthropologie has never let us down with its wacky Christmas decorations, and this year is no exception. We're loving this cotton candy bauble in particular – although sadly the sugared floss is not actually edible.
Give your tree some colour with this glass swivel bauble, available in stores.
We're in love with this slightly bonkers carousel giraffe.
Trust Harrods to wow us with its intricate and decorative baubles. This carousel will become a treasured piece in any bauble collection.
A hot dog stand in your Christmas tree? Why not? Everything goes.
