8 Of Our Favorite Celebrity Christmas Trees To Bring Warmth & Nostalgia To Your Home

We're officially in the swing of the Christmas season. It's time to break out the tinsel and set up your Christmas tree. Vintage Christmas decor is generating a ton of buzz this holiday season. More and more people are craving the warm, nostalgic magic of how Christmas used to feel when we were young. From classic Ralph Lauren-inspired decor to lights that capture the same essence as traditional incandescent bulbs, it seems like older trends are certainly making a comeback in 2025. It appears that celebrities like Joanna Gaines and Tan France have already hopped on the craze.

We tracked down 8 of our favorite celebrity Christmas trees from the last few years that bring all the cozy, nostalgic vibes we're loving this season. The trees we selected range from simple to extravagant, but they all share one thing in common — they capture a certain air of past Christmas charm that helps cultivate the wonder of childhood holidays. From tinsel to classic vintage ornaments and garlands, these celebrities are giving us a great jumping-off point to base our own trees on this year. Let's see what these celebrities have to offer! 

Ever the forward-thinking designer, Joanna Gaines unveiled her holiday decor, and it's the epitome of vintage nostalgia. Her farmhouse was featured on Better Homes and Gardens' Instagram, offering us plenty of Christmas inspiration. This year, she brought in a real 14-foot Christmas tree. It's covered in old-world Christmas-style ornaments and warm, twinkling Christmas lights. The natural beauty of the tree, juxtaposed with the whimsical array of ornaments, certainly captures the Little Women Christmas trend we're seeing everywhere this year, too. 

Martha Stewart is yet another iconic lifestyle legend with her finger on the pulse. Last year, she debuted her "super skinny" tree on Instagram. What the modest tree lacked in size, it made up for in charm and character. Reminiscent of the classic Charlie Brown tree, her spindly tree was sparse but still utterly festive. She decorated it with classic glass-blown ornaments, a simple garland, and delicate Christmas lights. This was a masterclass in "less is more", reminding us that a nostalgic Christmas doesn't need to be loud.

Remember when colorful faux trees were all the rage? Well, Reese Witherspoon is here to proclaim that this trend is back and better than ever. Last year, she shared a photo of her silver artificial tree on Instagram. The stout tree was decorated with silver and red ornaments, twinkling Christmas lights, and a giant red ribbon at the top. This statement tree isn't nostalgic in the Ralph Lauren sense, but it certainly hints at the playful yet elegant style of the 1960s aluminum trees.

Model and style icon Kendall Jenner has an excellent eye for Christmas decor. Last year, she invited Architectural Digest into her Spanish-style home to share her laidback, cozy holiday decor. "I love vintage, I'm always looking for vintage inspiration," Jenner explained. Her main Christmas tree featured a variety of heirloom Christopher Radko ornaments from her childhood. It was also lit with soft, warm lights. She spoke fondly of the Christmas decor traditions she continues to carry on from when she was young. The whole design scheme exuded nostalgia.

For a simpler yet warm Christmas, look to designer and TV personality Tan France. He shared an Instagram post last year of his family's tree. He adorned the tree with a gold tinsel garland, traditional round ornaments, and a spray of unique statement pieces. It was capped with a mini crown topper. This tree captured the essence of a classic sentimental Christmas. If you want a similar look, forget buying brand new Christmas tree decor because you can easily source it from the antique store.

Socialite, actress, and fashion designer Kathy Hilton takes decorating for Christmas seriously, keeping several trees around her house at a time. "I have everything but the kitchen sink," she said while describing one of her trees during an Architectural Digest home tour. And she wasn't exaggerating. Her tree was decked out with countless kitsch ornaments. The lights reflected off the decor to cast a pleasant, warm ambiance around the room. The tree radiated a sense of whimsy and lightheartedness that made Christmas feel so special.

You can cultivate a warm, cozy Christmas without the extra fluff. Last year, Michelle Pfeiffer showed off her simple, no-ornament tree in an Instagram post. It was understated and elegant, only featuring a string of classic white Christmas lights. You can absolutely decorate your Christmas tree without ornaments and still capture a nostalgic feel. This simple, minimalist direction offers an understated backdrop perfect for making cherished holiday memories.

Actress Zooey Deschanel and Property Brother Jonathan Scott shared a peek at their holiday decor last year on YouTube. "I love this tree–so does Zooey," Scott exclaimed. The couple's tree was a statuesque kaleidoscope of color. It would look right at home in Whoville, complete with large, round ornaments and a festive glow. They also included one vintage element we're seeing all over the place. "Tinsel, more tinsel, and even more tinsel," Scott added, "It just makes the tree look absolutely gorgeous".
