15 Fun & Unique Christmas Tree Ornaments You Can Get At IKEA
Christmas tree ornaments are such an important part of decorating. They breathe life into the main focus of your holiday decor, and really set the theme. Over time, you can create a stunning display by just collecting one or two ornaments to add to your design. For example, bring a vintage feel to your tree this year with Magnolia's holiday ornament collection by choosing a few that fit your aesthetic.
However, for people looking for a complete overhaul of their holiday decorations, or who have just moved into a home and need to decorate for their first Christmas season, buying from IKEA can be a great option. They offer more than just the standard ornaments, and you can buy packs large enough to decorate your entire tree for an affordable price.
They also offer different materials, including plastic for families with children and pets, glass for a more elegant finish, and paper for unique textures and appearances. The theme from IKEA this year appears to focus more on traditional ornaments and decor, including candy canes, round baubles, and icicles, but with a more modern twist. It's a great way to relive your whimsical childhood holidays while not making your homes feel dated. Many of the ornaments are also versatile, working for decorations for presents, your tree, garlands, or on your table as beautiful centerpieces.
Paper candies
Adding candies to Christmas trees is nothing new, but instead of candy canes this year, consider taking it a step further with these fun paper decorations made to look like round wrapped sweets. Each pack provides three of the paper candies, measuring a little over 5 inches in diameter and nearly 10 inches long. The red and white colors lend well to working with most traditional holiday decor, and the paper adds texture. You can hang them on the tree, or just around your house to bring cheer with you into every room.
Tear drop glass ornaments
Sometimes, you need a few large pieces to catch the eye, such as IKEA's glass tear drop ornaments. These come in a four-pack in light blue and pink, as well as bright green and red. Though they are described as tear drop shaped on the website, these are a bit flatter on the sides, making them feel a little more like test tubes or bottles. So if you want a bold, and maybe slightly science-y, decoration for your tree, these might be a perfect option.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms might not be something that feels terribly like Christmas for you, but if you think about it, their red and white tops are perfect for the holidays. When you buy this set, you get eight mushrooms that have red caps, white polka dots, and tan stems. They come in different shapes as well, so when you hang these up on your tree, every spot looks unique. Their fabric design makes them a little safer around children and pets than glass or paper as well, as they won't break or tear easily.
Gold cutouts
With this pack, you get three ornaments — a short branch with two leaves, a pinecone, and the front of a house. Reviews mention that while they do look adorable hanging from a tree, they are also wonderful around the rest of your home. These are great statement pieces to help add a bit of whimsy and fun to a tree that may otherwise be filled with very similarly shaped and colored ornaments. They aren't too large either, as the biggest one measures no more than 3.5 inches tall, so they won't take away from your other decorations.
3D paper decorations
Simple white is beautiful, but sometimes a bit flat. With these 3D paper ornaments, you get the elegant look and a little detail to give them more of a unique and fun appearance. Each pack includes six ornaments — two copies of three different shapes. Because they are so lightweight, you can hang them from almost anything or anywhere in your home, including an already-overloaded tree, or on your fireplace, unlit, of course. They do great with almost any color scheme or design choice thanks to their simplicity.
Donut-shaped baubles
Round ornaments may be common, but these subvert expectations a bit by being hollow in the center, sort of like donuts. Not only are they a fun and unique shape, but they also encompass some of the unexpected colors to use in your Christmas decor, such as soft pinks and blues. When you buy this pack, you get two sets of three in a pale pink, a light blue, and in red. They are also made of plastic, so if you have a child or pet, these won't break.
Multi-colored balls
Round baubles are classic, but you can change it up a little with IKEA's multicolored tree ornaments. You get two of them per pack, one in red and gold and the other in red and green. They have uneven, checkered patterns that can help break up an otherwise monotone Christmas tree design. However, they are also excellent to hang up near windows and doors to draw the eye. They are both made of plastic and measure about 6 inches in diameter to make for a fairly large statement ornament.
Heart hugs
You can help spread the love and cheer this holiday season using these adorable heart hug ornaments. They are made with fabric, are cheap, and you get three per pack. These might not be a decoration you want to cover your entire tree in, but it can be a great gift to share with loved ones who may be unable to visit during the holidays, reminding them that you're always thinking of them. These reminders can sit on your tree and make you smile every time you see them.
Mixed baubles
Multicolored ornaments are one of the nostalgic Christmas trends that came back in style in 2025, so this large pack of different-colored decorations is a great option for decorating your tree. It comes in four colors — pink, blue, green, and silver — as well as different shapes and sizes. At less than $15 for 32 baubles, it's a great pack if you need to buy enough to cover an entire tree. With four different colors, it matches most other decorations quite well, allowing you to expand your decor as needed.
Hollow red paper
Another unique IKEA ornament option is their red paper baubles. Though these are bold, they won't take up too much space on your tree, or in your boxes after the holiday is finished. They measure just over 3 inches in diameter and can fold up flat when you go to pack them away. You get six per order, and they can be used as a modern ornament that nods to traditional decorations, as a beautiful topper for gifts, or as general decor around the house to carry your theme from room to room.
Clear colored glass balls
Another way IKEA subverts traditional round ornaments is with these transparent glass baubles. In one pack, you get eight balls, two of each color — pink, blue, red, and green. This is a great option for a tree sitting in the sunlight or that is covered in bright lights. Ornaments don't only have to go on a tree, either. When you're decorating for Christmas on a budget, one of the best tips is to use ornaments to fill up vases. These are beautiful and perfect for either option.
Ribbed glass baubles
These ribbed glass baubles are a beautiful and unique shape to add a little fun and whimsy to your Christmas decorations without detracting from your other beautiful pieces. Each bauble is a little over 2 inches wide by 4 inches long. You get four in a pack, in what appears to be IKEA's colors of the year: blue, pink, green, and red. One major perk about these ornaments is that they are full glass. They don't come with those metal tops, which are not terribly attractive in more see-through pieces. These also look beautiful when hung from garlands.
Mixed pattern balls
If you like classic Christmas baubles with a little extra pizazz, then these two might be a charming option. This bauble set comes in a pack of two. The first one is pink with a white stripe and red dots. The second is red with a white stripe with a minimalist mistletoe pattern on the line. They are made of plastic to help them be a little more durable, while still looking charming and beautiful. These baubles are also great for catching the eye, as they are nearly 4 inches in diameter.
Glass candy canes
Candy canes aren't necessarily a unique addition to your Christmas tree decor, but you can give it a fun twist by ditching the edible ones and replacing them with more chic and elegant replicas. IKEA provides you three candy canes per pack, measuring a little over 3 inches long. Most of the reviews say that they are high-quality and beautiful, perfect to hang on your tree. Then, you can save your real candies to make a DIY festive candy cane centerpiece with a few budget-friendly items instead.
Glass icicles
Another one of IKEA's Christmas decorations this year is the set of six twisting icicle ornaments. While these icicle shapes aren't entirely unique, the fact that they are made from glass instead of plastic really adds beauty to them. They are such a fun design to put on a Christmas tree, and work well with artificial trees that are a little icy in color or design, while still being able to match pretty much any other decorations. They can also be hung up around the home to add a little bit of winter wonderland vibes.
