Our 5 Favorite Christmas Tree Topper Styles for 2023
Dec 5th 2023
If you’re looking for a new tree topper, take into account the shape of your tree to maintain visual balance. You’ll also want to measure the space between the peak of your Christmas tree and your ceiling, to make sure your topper isn’t too large for your tree.
Tree toppers come in hundreds of styles - the variety can be surprising. Narrow your options by considering your personal preference, family tradition or your Christmas tree style or theme.
Stars
A Christmas tree star topper can come in many styles, making it perfect for any decor. You’ll find everything from a rustic Christmas star to shiny gold stars to fanciful crystal starbursts. Some star tree toppers are simple and unlit, while others add lights, tinsel and glitter for extra sparkle on the Christmas tree. Complement your Christmas lights with a lighted star tree topper featuring incandescent or LED lights.
Angels
Many angel Christmas tree toppers wear flowing robes in shimmering fabrics with lace, metallic threads and other fine finishes. You can also find a lighted tree topper angel featuring incandescent, LED and even fiber optic lighting.
Whether you’re looking for a biblically accurate angel tree topper or a more stylized angel made from metal, capiz shells, wood or other materials, be sure to choose the right size for your tree. A Christmas angel tree topper typically ranges between nine and 18 inches tall and you don’t want your angel to hit her head on your ceiling!
Snowflakes
Finials
Since its elongated shape can make your Christmas tree quite a bit taller, proportion and planning are key. While some glass finials are a few inches high, others can extend anywhere from one to four feet! Tapered finial tree toppers make an elegant yet bold statement for a traditional Christmas tree.
