This post is to inspire you to decorate your tree like a frozen wonderland with these Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree Ideas for the holidays.
A winter wonderland makes us think of air that tastes like fresh snow and quiet. Lights catching on icicles, scattering little diamonds across the room. Ornaments give a soft clink when you pass, like wind on glass. Blue ribbon slips through white branches, and the tree seems to breathe in the cold and glow a little brighter.

What is a Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree?
A winter wonderland tree leans bright and icy with layers of shimmer that feel like fresh snowfall. Start with a white christmas tree or a soft white tree if you love a clean studio look. If you want more texture, a flocked tree gives instant snowy branches. Both a real tree and an artificial tree work for this winter wonderland theme. Keep the overall mood light, airy, and elegant.
How do I decorate a winter wonderland tree step by step?
Here are easy decorating steps that will make your tree look amazing!
- Ground the whole thing with a plush faux fur tree skirt.
- Fluff the branches and add warm or cool lights.
- Dust in a little faux snow so the tips catch the glow.
- Hang your main Christmas decorations in sets for balance.
- Tuck in a few gold ornaments to warm up the icy tones.
- Fill gaps with a simple greenery stem to add depth.
- Add small pine cones for natural contrast.
- Finish with a statement tree topper and make it the clear focal point.
What colors work best for this look?
You can see from the variety of trees below, they can be classics with just silver and white, but you can also mix in other metallics like gold, pastel blues or pinks, and even bright jewel tone blues and reds. Basically, if you keep your winter wonderland decor light and frosty, it works!
Quick styling tips
• Place ornaments by size from inside to outside so the depth reads on camera.
• Use ribbon in gentle cascades rather than tight spirals for a soft couture look.
• Edit before you add more. Strategic swaps can create perfect pops of colors. We don’t want to have a full re-do.
Echo the look beyond the tree with snowy mini trees on the coffee table, a slim white tree on the console, frosted lanterns by the front door, and a mantel dressed in crystal garlands so the whole space feels like a winter wonderland.

Winter Wonderland Christmas Tree Decorating FAQs:
Choose either all warm or all cool LEDs so the glow is consistent. If you want sparkle, add one strand of micro twinkle and keep the rest steady so the shimmer reads elegant rather than chaotic.
Mix one wide fabric ribbon for shape with a thinner satin for shine. Layer them loosely and let the edges breathe between sections so the branches still look fluffy.
Put the tree where it can glow across the living room and mirror the sparkle in simple accents. Swap in knit throw pillows, add a couple mercury glass vases, and cluster candles for a soft glow. This look fits nicely in contemporary spaces where clean lines let the shine breathe. Keep a short list of decor items to repeat, then carry those choices through the rest of the room so the styling feels intentional. For presents under that tree, our Christmas Gift Guides in our Christmas section have you covered.
Pack by micro-collection. Keep your blues with silvers and pearls in one tote, group whites and clear glass in another, and bundle ribbons separately on spools. Label each bin by finish so setup is basically plug and play next season.

Where Can I Find the Best Christmas Trees?
We know we have already linked our tree storefront, but we also loved looking at all the different types of trees that people use to create their winter wonderland themed Christmas trees. Obviously using an artificial tree and not a live tree gives you the benefit of being able to customize for whatever you want!
The type of Christmas tree also lends to the whole frozen Christmas tree vibe. Of course fir trees, balsam fir, & Norway spruce are all great options, but we also love a white tree for a winter wonderland look.
From full to skinny, natural green color, to flocked with white, or all white, plus a small trees too, we were so inspired by all of them! We will add a few here to make it easy for you to find if you liked them too.
