The Best Christmas Tree Skirts To Beautifully Jazz Up Your Holiday Decor

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how we hate to see your trunk bare. Keeping the base of your tree uncovered could make the whole design appear off, which is why it's important to choose the right tree skirt. However, this may be an overwhelming process, as there are a lot of types and aesthetics out there, so it can be hard to pin down what you're looking for. Are you going for a Scandinavian Christmas with warm tones and minimal designs? Do you want a retro, multi-colored skirt to pair with your vintage silver tinsel tree? There's no shortage of options for whatever your holiday style entails. To help you find what you're looking for, we've found 19 of the best tree skirts available.

Christmas skirts were originally intended to catch hot melting wax from lit candles and stray pine needles. But even as we stopped using real flame candles (hello, fire hazard!) and many folks switched to artificial trees, tree skirts remain a part of Christmas décor for the festive season. Nowadays, this design element is a great way to showcase your personal aesthetic, so think about what your unique Christmas style is because it may go far beyond the classic reds and greens. You should also consider the price, material, and ease of maintenance.

Finding a tree skirt that works for multiple designs and color schemes, looks classic but modern, and enhances the beauty of a Christmas tree is no small ask. But Balsam Hill absolutely delivers with this Plush Braid Tree Skirt, which comes in 48 and 60-inch sizes.

This is the kind of tree skirt that will create a perfect backdrop for a stack of presents on Christmas morning. Balsam Hill is known for their high-quality holiday décor, so it's no surprise that this piece tops our list. However, keep in mind that this skirt can only be spot cleaned.
