The Most Lavish Celebrity Christmas Decorations Of All Time

Kris Jenner posted a pic of an unusual Christmas decoration in 2017: a massive red geometric polar bear surrounded by beautifully lit trees. That curious item is the talent’s go-to decoration for the holidays and is one of a kind. Apparently, it was custom-made for her and imported all the way from Paris!

Of course, the Gaines household would look amazing at Christmas. Were you expecting anything less? And décor expert Joanna has one holiday tradition that she’ll never give up on. According to Cheatsheet, the family Christmas tree gets the exact same ornaments every year, and plenty of those are handmade creations from the children.

Nope, the Christmas tree in the Osbourne household isn’t black and covered in bats. It’s a perfectly pleasing classical tree with lots of bright lights and shiny decorations. Judging by this Instagram picture from 2018, it looks like Sharon decorated it herself – with a little help from husband Ozzy.

Kylie Jenner was pregnant for the festive season in 2017 and thus unable to do the Kardashians’ annual Christmas card photoshoot. So, the star made up for it by making her house look like a Christmas card instead! She even employed the services of Jeff Leatham — artistic director of the Four Seasons — to help her out.

Candace Cameron Bure got herself a truly massive Christmas tree in 2020 to promote the Hallmark channel. The towering creation was covered in baubles that bore the names of Hallmark’s Christmas movies. And since it was such a crazy year, we can forgive her for putting it up in October.

Chrissy Teigen didn’t just get one Christmas tree for her house. Oh, no: she got several — all white ones decorated with red and gold baubles. Then she took a snap of herself with them and captioned it with the words, “I didn’t mean to post this…” We feel like she probably would have done so sooner or later, though.

For Christmas in 2020, Rob Lowe dressed all four of his dogs up in festive outfits and posed them by the beautifully decorated tree. Awww. He wrote as an Instagram caption, “Wayne, Owen, Gilbert Grape, and Teacup Egg wanted to show you their Holiday fits. It’s a lot of cute!”

Model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley had this Christmas tree for the holidays in 2020: a classical and ceiling-scraping creation decorated with lights, hearts, and even cute little robins. Maybe she got her partner and reported soon-to-be husband —action movie star and all-round tough guy Jason Statham — to help put it up?

Country music star Tim McGraw posted pics of his Christmas tree preparations to Instagram in 2020, and that was definitely some tree. He captioned the post, “A: Santa’s lead flying reindeer. B: wife trying to get rid of me before Christmas.” But it’s good to know he’s not afraid of heights.

Olivia Culpo — the 2012 Miss Universe — knows people visit her Instagram to see her and not a fancy backdrop. That said, the talent did show off some very nice Christmas decorations in 2020. She pulled out all the stops and had a huge red-themed tree plus lights on her exquisite mantelpiece.

Loki star Richard E. Grant apparently loves the festive season. He happily declared in a 2018 interview with the Mr Porter website, “I’m a Christmasaholic. Christmas tree up December 1. I love Christmas pudding, I eat it all year round. My father was an alcoholic, so Christmas was a nightmare. So, it’s a way of fixing the past.”

Christie Brinkley took this fantastic photo of her festive decorations in 2020. And the model’s Christmas tree lit up the whole room with a beautiful warm glow. Brinkley’s followers were full of praise for her decorating skills, and they also loved that the star’s little dog was sleeping on the sofa. The whole scene was just picture-perfect.

Gwen Stefani released the song Here This Christmas in 2020, and maybe the singer was listening to it while she decorated this tree. It’s a traditional one covered with kid-friendly decorations such as gingerbread men and little elves. Stefani had also announced her engagement to Blake Shelton that year too, so she had plenty to celebrate.

Clearly, Kourtney Kardashian really likes polar bears. For Christmas 2020 she posted a pic of herself surrounded by polar bear decorations and even riding one, and she captioned it, “Have a beary Merry Christmas.” Her sister Khloe dropped by the post to say, “I have questions but you look so beautiful.”

Of course Martha Stewart would have a well-decorated house for Christmas — what else would you expect? In 2020 she presented a festive scene to her Instagram followers. It included a huge tree decorated in silver and gold, a few other classical Christmas pieces subtly placed throughout the room, and, of course, a table piled high with food.

Actress Octavia Spencer presented this lovely flower-themed Christmas tree on Instagram in 2020. She wrote, “Finishing touches! I might be overdoing it, you say? Nah, just my attitude of gratitude for my amazing crew.” Her friend and Truth Be Told co-star Kate Hudson dropped by to leave some heart emojis in the comments.

Brooke Shields brightened up the whole street in Christmas 2020. She decorated both the inside and outside of her house — granting passers-by a lovely light display around the front door. She also posted photos of it all on Instagram, writing, “House and tree done... it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

Jennifer Lopez’s very impressive Christmas decorations also doubled as Thanksgiving ones. In November 2020 the superstar posted a picture of herself on Instagram all dressed up and enjoying her winter wonderland. And she wrote alongside it, “Gratitude Glow. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.” Now, that’s both festive and practical!

Queer Eye star Tan France showed off his home and very classy Christmas tree on Instagram come November 1, 2020. Sure, it was a little early for decorations — right after Halloween — but who cares? France captioned the post, “Ten-year Halloween tradition. Christmas tree goes up. Haters back off!”

Reality TV star Snooki went all out for the holiday season in 2020. The star not only had a massive tree, but she also had presents, a reindeer plushie, and a huggable Santa. Snooki debuted this on November 2, so we can only assume she went straight from Halloween right into Christmas!

Roxy Jacenko is a businesswoman, media personality, and The Celebrity Apprentice contestant… and she really knows how to do Christmas. The Australian posted this amazing pastel-colored Christmas tree on her Instagram in November 2019, and it looks good enough to eat! Check out those yummy-looking ice cream and candy cane decorations.

Actress Salma Hayek has an unusual pet — an adorable southern white-faced owl named Kering. And he was the guest of honor in Hayek’s social media holiday photos for 2020. The proud owl mom wrote as a caption on Instagram in both English and Spanish, “Kering likes the tree but he likes my head better.” Awww.

Jane Fonda presented this huge Christmas tree — topped with an angel — on Instagram in November 2020. She proudly wrote on her blog, “I did it myself. It took two days. I put the TV music station on and listened to cool jazz.” Fonda made sure to get all her favorite decorations on there — including an octopus and one shaped like a martini.

Kevin Hart’s wife, Eniko, posted a picture of the family’s holiday decorations three days before Christmas in 2020. They had all the trappings: trees, baubles, lights, and even a polar bear! Eniko’s favorite thing would appear to be her husband, though, because she captioned the post, “My hubby is back home just in time for the holidays!”

Britney Spears loves Christmas by all accounts. Apparently, she spends thousands of dollars on Christmas lights alone! In this Instagram shot from 2017, it looks like some of those lights went on a massive Christmas tree while others were arranged around the furniture. And it makes the room look absolutely lovely.

This is Idina Menzel’s 2020 Christmas tree, and clearly, butterflies were the theme here. She captioned the picture, “Not bad for a nice little Jewish girl.” The previous year the star had told Time magazine, “I celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. I do like to decorate a tree.” Yep, she certainly does!

Many people put stars or angels on top of their Christmas trees, but Victoria Beckham put on… herself. The British talent’s 2019 office Christmas tree was topped with a little figurine of Beckham in her Spice Girls days. She captioned the Instagram pic, “You know it is Christmas when Posh Spice gets on the tree at Victoria Beckham Dover St! Kisses.”

Kelly Rowland could certainly tell a tale or two about Christmas disasters. When promoting her movie Merry Liddle Christmas in 2020, she remembered one particularly calamitous holiday season where she got green and red dye all over her furniture. But this scene from 2018 — which Rowland filmed and posted on Instagram — is perfect.

Nicky Hilton presented this beautiful and absolutely luxurious white winter wonderland for Christmas 2017. She wrote on Instagram that November, “Clearly, my mother does not think it’s too early to put up Christmas decorations.” And her mom — who is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton — was right.

Catherine Zeta-Jones showed some Christmas decorations off to her Instagram followers in December 2020. She captioned the video, “Thought I would share the fruits of my labor – or labour, if you are reading this in Britain! [I] hurt my foot after completing this still life masterpiece. The pain was worse than labor/labour, but I feel so festive now.”

Kelly Ripa and her family — including actor husband Mark Consuelos — have some Christmas traditions they do every year. They go to church together on Christmas Eve, and then Santa Claus comes to hand out candy. The clan then go to a restaurant to do the Italian Feast of the Seven Fishes celebration. Oh, and they make sure to get a great tree, of course.

Demi Moore opted for something a little different when Christmas 2020 rolled around. The actress got several Christmas trees that she decorated with baubles and lights. Moore then placed them in the living room of her Idaho ranch. Hello magazine suggested it looked like “a Christmas tree farm,” but it was also “unbelievably festive.”

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik had their first child in September 2020, so when Christmas rolled around it was a whole new arena for them. Though judging by their Instagram pictures, it ended up being a very special occasion indeed. Hadid wrote on Instagram that she was “a whole new kind of busy and tired,” but it looks like it was worth it.

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt presented her Instagram followers with a delightful festive display in November 2020. It was a row of gorgeous sparkling miniature houses – adorned with baubles and decorations and tiny little Christmas trees. One fan wrote in the comments, “These are the prettiest Christmas decorations I’ve ever seen.”

In 2019 Khloe Kardashian said goodbye to the traditional Christmas tree and got a bright pink one instead. She wrote on Instagram, “Merry Christmas everyone! We [started] decorating our house yesterday and [Jeff Leatham] surprised [daughter] True with this beautiful pink tree. It’s safe to say that True loves it! Thankful and blessed beyond words!”

Rapper Cardi B showed off a stunning array of Christmas lights at her house in 2020. She says in the Instagram video, “I haven’t seen my home decorated since I’ve been in L.A. and I just got home from New York [City]. I can’t believe this is my home. Excuse the mess because there’s been some wrapping going on. This is beautiful.” And it really was.

Joan Collins wrote on her blog in 2015, “Christmas is a joyous time in our house and I never fail to revel in it.” The acting veteran often exhausted herself putting up “the enormous amount of Christmas decorations with which I festoon my house during the festive season.” Nevertheless, she was always happy to do it again the following year. Here’s her creation from 2018.

Justin Bieber is married to Hailey Baldwin now, and in 2020 they decorated their Christmas tree together. Not only that, but they also filmed a time-lapse video for Instagram so fans could see how the tree took shape. And once it was done, Bieber posted a comparison shot of him decorating in 2017 versus both of them decorating in 2020. He then captioned it, “Way better with you, baby.”

The Christmas gifts Gwyneth Paltrow sells via her company are a little… unconventional. In 2020 she offered in her gift guide items including a do-it-yourself tattoo kit, a “gemstone heat” mat, and a lamp made from bread. Maybe skip those, but her also unconventional outside Christmas tree from 2018 is super cool.

The Queen of Christmas never disappoints. In November 2020 she posted a special video to her Instagram where a man in a Halloween costume made his way to her room… and there she was sitting in some fake snow next to a Christmas tree. She shouted “It’s time!” and even though there was still Thanksgiving to go, it was so exciting. If this hasn’t quite given you the inspiration you were looking for, why not try these amazing DIY decorations? They’re a little more down-to-earth, that’s for sure.

Got any spare Bundt pans in the kitchen? Well, why not give this a go? To start, load each pan on top of the other until they start to resemble a bell, gluing them in place. Then, stick a tiny bauble in the opening of the base. Add a bit of ribbon to tie them to your door, and there you have it! Makeshift doorbells that are perfect for the festive season.

Nothing tops off a present quite like a bow. But what do you do with them after the gifts are opened? Instead of chucking them in a bag for next year, this crafty hack might be worth a try. Yes, why not assemble the bows in the shape of a wreath, ready to hang outside for the holidays? It’ll look just as nice as some of the more costly decorations at the store — if not nicer!

Who knew bottle caps would make for awesome Christmas ornaments? Crafter Kelly runs the Typically Simple website, and she recommends sticking the discarded toppers to a plain bit of ribbon. You can then add letters to each surface and have fun creating festive words and phrases. It’s easy and looks great!

If you want your salt and pepper containers to match the festive feel inside your home, listen up. This simple trick will do just that. All you need are some small Christmas toys or ornaments. Then, simply place each item into the individual shakers. The ones in the salt will look particularly good, as the condiment resembles snow.

Homemade ornaments don’t come much cuter than these little guys. And they’re fairly easy to create, too. According to a video on the One Little Project YouTube channel, you should start by drawing a snowman’s face onto an electric tea light. Then, glue your chosen decorations around the edge to resemble hats or scarves. From there, take an orange pen and color in the pretend flame to make the nose. They’ll make great DIY gifts, or if you add some string you’ll be able to hang them on the tree!

Will cocktails be on the menu in your house for this year’s Christmas celebrations? If so, we’ve got just the thing to spruce up the glasses. Simply take some wooden skewers and trim them to around 3 inches in size. After that, place mini bottle brush trees on each one with an adhesive. Your guests will love them!

As any Christmas enthusiast will tell you, ornaments can get pretty expensive. But instead of splashing the cash at the store, why not make your own using twigs from the yard? We’re serious! Just shape the thin bits of wood into festive forms such as stars or snowflakes, before gluing them together. Add a bit of string to the top, and that’s it. Very country-chic!

For those of you who are looking to do something a little different this Christmas, we’ve got some advice: stock up on coffee filters. And lots of them. Why? Well, it turns out you can make a gorgeous garland out of them. To start, create 20 piles made up of 12 scrunched filters in different shades. After securing the middle of each one with a stapler, weave a bit of tied string through them to finish. Voilà! 

For us, no Christmas would be complete without an advent calendar. It doesn’t matter how old you are! But if you want to save some money and the planet, here’s something to consider. Take 25 coin envelopes and decorate them however you like, and then add the numbers of advent. Once that’s done, drop little goodies into the openings and attach your creations to a blank noticeboard. It’ll look wonderful.

You don’t always have to rely on bows to spruce up a festive present. Dried-out orange slices make for a stylish, if slightly different, substitute. According to Good Housekeeping, all you’ve got to do is thread a piece of ribbon through their center to secure them to the gifts. Plus, they should be completely biodegradable!

There’s just something about pine cones that screams “Christmas,” right? So, why not create some beautiful ornaments from them to hang on your tree? It’s easy — just coat them in fake snow or glitter and fasten them to some looped twine. For some extra pizzazz, you could even add a bow! They’ll be admired by everyone who comes over!

Is your seasonal garland looking a little plain this year? Well, fret no more. Just clip some Christmas cards to it! It’ll look great, and it will save you from squishing them all on the mantel. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. You’ll wonder why you’ve never tried it out before!

You probably don’t think about decorating your door handles when Christmas rolls around. That neglect ends now, though. According to Country Living magazine, you can ramp up the festive feeling at home by tying some small pine boughs to the knobs of your doors. It’s a simple job that’ll garner brilliant results.

If you like the idea of having more than one Christmas tree in your house, this bit of DIY will be right up your alley. First things first, get your hands on a wooden pallet from a tool store. Then, draw a tree on its surface with some paint. Glue a few decorations to it after it dries, and voilà.

As it turns out, cookie cutters can serve more than one purpose at home. You can, for instance, transform them into awesome-looking Christmas decorations. No joke. Trace their shapes on wrapping paper and glue the cutouts onto the back of the cutters. From there, you’re free to glam them up to your heart’s desire, getting them ready to hang on the tree.

How about this for a unique idea? Should you have an old pair of ice skates sitting in your closet, pull them out and give each shoe a clean. Once that’s done, stick a bit of foliage into the tops. You can then decorate that and the skates themselves and hang them from your door. Say hello to your new wreath!

How can you liven up a bunch of straws for the holiday season? Quite easily, actually. To begin with, pick up a pack from the store with white-and-red stripes. While you’re there, also grab some little craft holly leaves, Santa heads, snowmen, and Christmas trees. Now just glue the festive shapes to the upper sections of the straws. Ta-da!

Christmas is the perfect time of year to use glittery or patterned tape. And we don’t just mean for wrapping your presents. As Good Housekeeping notes, the colorful tool can also spruce up other objects around your home for the holidays, such as clear candle holders. Cover the outside in different strips, and watch it glow when the candle is lit. If you really want to make the decoration pop, add some ribbon or a holly leaf!

Do you decorate your kitchen cupboards for the festive celebrations? No? Well, you’re probably not alone! Yet it’s not as tricky as you’d think. Country Living offered up an idea that’s both simple and effective. All you’ve got to do is stick bits of wrapping paper on the cupboard doors. You could even blame it on The Elf on the Shelf like this genius Instagram user.

Before you splash the cash on fancy new snowflake ornaments, consider using popsicle sticks. Simply dip them in white paint and group a couple into an “X” shape. Then glue another one going horizontally through the middle and add some smaller ones to the edges of each point. It’ll look just like a snowflake.

If you want a more personal Christmas wreath this year, buy a wooden base from a local store. Then, pick out a few snaps from your photo albums and lay them around the plain frame. Once you’re happy, glue them all down. And there you have it, folks. Your family will love it!

Where do you keep your cookies over Christmas? If you’re planning to buy an expensive festive jar to store them, stop right there. An alternative could be sitting in your kitchen in the shape of a Pringles can. When it’s empty, wash it out and wrap it in festive paper. You can even add some other decorations, too, if you’re feeling really creative. Then all you have to do then is fill it up with the goods!

Still got some of those popsicle sticks left over from earlier? Great! Here’s another decoration to consider. The website Clean & Scentsible shared how you can create a few mini sleds for your Christmas tree. Just glue four painted sticks in a row, with the two in the middle sticking out a little further. Then add two black ones for the blades and place one horizontally across the top. Glue a bit of string to the top and hang it on the tree. Gorgeous! 

While Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes, this one is something else. For a start, it’s not actually a tree. But it does serve the same purpose. Yes, by stacking mason jars into a tree-like structure, you can create an incredibly unique seasonal decoration. You can then drop a few baubles into the containers, drape with tinsel or foliage, and add an eye-catching topper. Stunning is an understatement.

If you really want to flex your artistic muscles this year, Good Housekeeping has a cute little suggestion. To begin, grab some spare pine cones and colored felt. With the felt craft eyes, beaks, large eyebrows, and wings. Then stick them to the cones to make your very own owl decorations. Pretty neat, right?

Christmas wreaths don’t come much snazzier than this, folks. Who’d have thought that colored light bulbs would work so well? To pull it off, you need around 60 of them and a plain cardboard base. Getting enough to loop around a couple of times will look the best!

Those of you hosting Christmas parties this year should grab a pen. This simple trick will be sure to leave your guests with big smiles on their faces. All you’ll need is linen serviettes, thread, and some tiny bells. Simply sew the little trinkets onto the edge of the napkins for a simple yet festive touch.

Have you got any clear glass baubles at home? If so, why not give this a go? Pop the top off the Christmas decoration, before pouring several different paints inside it. Then, turn the ball to ensure the colors all mix together. Once it dries, it’ll look amazing. Plus, you won’t need to buy colorful ornaments after. This will do the job perfectly!

Wrapping paper can have more than one purpose during the holiday season. Here’s a cool example. Good Housekeeping revealed that you can use it to make a small Christmas tree. Just stick it to the outside of a cone made from cardboard, and it’ll look lovely on the mantel. Who says trees have to be green?

If you want to create your own advent calendar, this bit of DIY is just the ticket. To start, get your hands on a simple wooden ladder. Then, after assembling 25 little bags with the days of Christmas written on them, attach the sacks to the steps with ribbon or string. Lovely! And it can be plastic-free!

Fancy Christmas garlands can be very pricey on the high street, so don’t rush out to buy one this year. Instead, you could get your creative juices flowing and assemble one yourself. If your house is loaded with mittens, for instance, you can thread a bit of string through the wrists to make a colorful, cozy garland.

What some of us would give to have snow at Christmas. It’d be the perfect way to complete the festive season! While you’re waiting for the snow to fall, why not try this clever wreath-making hack? Just stick Styrofoam balls to a circular base — it will be almost as good as real snowballs! 

Want to know how to transform your candlesticks for the holidays? Well, it’s pretty simple. Just stick some Christmas decs around the base. You can choose some to fit your color theme, and you can go as big or subtle as you want! Much better than buying some from the store.

Nothing can make a table feel more Christmassy than a gorgeous runner. But they don’t always have to be super-elaborate. One option is to take a piece of plain fabric and add some holly leaves made from card. You could even use jingle bells for the berries so it has a festive ring to it, too! 

Nowadays you can buy all kinds of Christmas wreaths! But if you want to make something simple and classy, listen up. First things first, get hold of some foliage, pine cones, berries, and a bow. Then, arrange them inside a tobacco basket, attaching the objects to the base. Your unique design will be the talk of the town.

You don’t just have to decorate your house for the holidays — what about the backyard? These ornaments even double up as food for the birds! By mixing half a cup of water with unflavored gelatin, corn syrup, flour, and birdseed, you can make ornaments to attract nearby birds. Shape the blend with festive cookie cutters until they dry, hang on some string, and watch as your garden becomes a scene from a Disney movie.

Hanging fancy baubles on the tree can be anxiety-inducing, to say the least. But don’t worry: there’s actually a great, risk-free way to put them on display. To start, get your hands on a shadow box and decorate the inside with some festive paper. Next, simply stick your ornaments behind the protective glass. There they can be admired without getting broken. It’s a win-win!

We don’t know about you, but we’d love to have an advent calendar like this. It’s so cute! Should you fancy making one, here’s what you need to know. You’ll need 25 matchboxes, wrapping paper, and a number stamp. Stack the containers into a pyramid, gluing them together as you go. The festive paper serves as a nice decoration around the edges. Now, just date the slots and pack in the goodies.

Don’t throw out your milk cartons, folks! As it turns out, you can use them to create a remarkable display ahead of Christmas. Yep, the containers make for excellent gingerbread houses once you paint and decorate them. If you’ve got enough, you might even be able to craft an entire community. Kids will absolutely adore it.

If you’ve got too many baubles for your Christmas tree this year, don’t just pack them away. You can actually make another tree from them. Using an upside-down bowl as a template, glue the ornaments together to create a ring base. After that, add additional tiers to it until it looks like a tree. Next, wrap a garland around each layer — job done!
