Florals for…. Christmas? Groundbreaking — Shop Flower Ornaments, the Tree Trend Blooming This Holiday Season
This season, we’re swapping hemispheres. See the spring-coded Christmas decoration gracing our trees right now


With Christmastime comes the usual suspects: flocked branches, snowflakes, sleds — perhaps a reindeer or two. But this year, tree decor is quite literally blossoming in a whole new direction: flowers.
Yes, flowers. In winter. This is a seasonal shake up that is actually groundbreaking. While a poinsettia might make an occasional cameo on the holiday scene, seeing glittering, jewel-encrusted magnolias — which are more at home in spring or late summer — blooming up and down an evergreen feels like a magical departure.
But perhaps even more surprising is that these Christmas decorating ideas don’t feel at all out of place among the wintry decor. Somehow, the juxtaposition of a delicate bloom peeking through a layer of faux snow is a match made in heaven — a cinematic, spellbinding, Disney-worthy moment of whimsy.
So if you’re sick of sleigh bells, this is your sign to cross hemispheres. Shop the Christmas decorating trend that defies seasons — and expectations.

I’ve seen these The Met x Anthropologie flower pick ornaments in person, and let me tell you — they’re even more exquisite up close. Though these velvet, beaded, metallic-threaded beauties are certainly an investment, their versatility makes them worth every penny. Try repurposing them as extravagant napkin rings for a holiday table that will leave everyone talking.
Price: $2.99
H&M Home has one of the season’s best — and most affordable — flower ornament lineups. Choose from sophisticated neutrals like gold, beige, and white, opt for classic red, or lean into the spring of it all with soft pinks. At just $2.99 each, they’re a great low-stakes way to experiment with floral Christmas tree ideas.
Price: $21.99
I was about to include a nearly identical ornament set on this list that cost — no joke — five times as much. Luckily, I trusted my gut and kept searching. For just $22, you get three glittering, highly rated ornament picks in a variety of whimsical finishes. At a striking 10 inches wide, they’re perfect for filling out larger trees or serving as statement accents along a staircase.
Price: $119, Was: $139
Balsam Hill’s magnolia blossoms are the most realistic I’ve seen yet. I was immediately drawn to the red, but they’re available in several hues, each with its own unique floral style. Pro tip: don’t wait — reviewers mentioned they had to hold out an entire year for a restock. They’re certainly worth the wait, but why risk it?
Price: $3.99, Was: $12
Shine bright like a… flower? Sounds about right. Just one of these dazzling flower ornaments is enough to make sure Santa can’t miss your house. Gold-toned petals, edged with glitter for that extra sparkle, strike a perfect balance between glamorous and fresh. Plus, they play nicely with classic metallic ornaments in silver, gold, or bronze that you likely already own.
Price: $1.28
Black might not exactly scream Christmas, but the classic poinsettia shape of these ornaments brings just the right amount of festivity. I’m envisioning them decorating a flocked artificial Christmas tree for contrast. Tack on some metallic accents or warm glowing garland, and you’ve got yourself an absolute show-stopper.
