From Jill Biden's last white house Christmas, to a Kardashian sister's surprisingly minimal scheme, these are the best celebrity Christmas trees and decor of 2024. Our pick? Victoria Beckham's luxury-minimalist makeover of her London flagship, courtesy of designer Rose Uniacke.
Christmas 'tis the season of joy, festive cheer – and downright competitiveness. From dazzling light displays to extravagant Christmas trees, there’s something about the holidays that brings out our desire to go bigger, brighter, and better. Nowhere is this playful rivalry more evident than on social media, where celebrities give us a peek into their holiday-ready homes. With grand staircases, double-height living rooms, and often acres of land, decorating like a celebrity for the holidays seems daunting at best (of course, it helps when expert decorators and interior designers are behind the scenes). Still, the glimpses these stars share of their festive sanctuaries serve as endless inspiration – whether it’s gingerbread houses fit for the White House, Kardashian-style winter wonderlands, or entranceways styled with the finesse only Kathy Hilton could muster.
So, we’ve rounded up the celebrities who’ve embraced the spirit of the season, offering ideas and inspiration to elevate your own festive celebrations and proving that the humble Christmas décor brag – whether it’s a grand, over-the-top display or a pared-back minimalist aesthetic – is very much alive and well.
Festive Decor Trends From the Hottest 2024 Celebrity Christmas Trees
The ‘naked’ Christmas tree has emerged as 2024's strongest festive decor trend amongst celebrities, with everyone from the Kardashian sisters to Victoria Beckham embracing a minimal, no-juss, no bold colour or big baubles approach.
The 2024 Kardashian Christmas Trees
Santa works fast, but the Kardashians work faster. Each year, the famous family throws an extravagant Christmas Eve bash that somehow justifies every member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan decking their halls like Santa’s reputation depends on it. This year, lifestyle mogul Kim Kardashian gave her followers a glimpse of a towering Christmas tree on Instagram Stories. Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian took to the social media platform to unveil a full festive takeover of her home. Highlights included a meticulously styled Christmas tablescape, an all-red wonderland featuring red trees and red balloons, and a grand display of trees in her entryway, one of which is upside down to reflect Travis and Kourtney’s penchant for edgy, rule-breaking design.
The true showstopper of the family’s décor this year arguably belongs to Khloé Kardashian, whose minimalist take on Christmas reflects a trend beloved by several celebrities this season. Her nearly-naked Christmas tree, devoid of ornaments, tinsel, or a tree topper, is adorned solely with twinkling warm LED lights – a pared-back aesthetic that extends to her mantel. Nothing says Christmas with a K like a chic, no-frills, no-gimmick celebration.
Kylie Jenner’s Christmas Tree
Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner who enlisted the help of the family’s go-to florist, Jeff Leatham, gave her 395 million Instagram followers a glimpse into her holiday wonderland. The centerpiece? A nearly two-story Christmas tree towering in her grand entrance, decorated with Santa Claus ornaments and gingerbread house baubles. The rest of her home is peppered with other Christmas trees (of the regular-sized variety) and lined with a squadron of giant nutcrackers standing guard at the entrance. A mix of traditional charm and over-the-top opulence, Kylie’s holiday home is exactly what you’d expect.
Victoria Beckham’s 2024 Christmas Decor
At her store, Victoria Beckham is embracing the luxury-minimalist trend, much like Khloé Kardashian, with a holiday celebration that combines elegance and restraint. To mark the season, Beckham invited Rose Uniacke to reimagine her Dover Street flagship in London. Rose transformed the store with antique furniture, opulent velvets, and deep green hues, which underscore a minimalist décor evident in the towering trees, which are basically left bare except for a delicate sprinkling of lights. This pared-back approach reflects Beckham’s personal taste for her home at Christmas, which she shared in a Vogue interview, “We have some beautiful little tea lights outside the house on our olive trees. Then just a simple Christmas tree with tea lights. Nothing too complicated.”
Celebrity Christmas Trees With Traditional Festive Opulence
Christmas traditions are hard to break, and while some may embrace minimalist trees, there are those who stick to a classically festive approach, filled with colour and charm. Salma Hayek, for example, whose vibrant, colourful Christmas tree from last year was a perfect example of embracing a more traditional, festive style.
Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey’s 2024 Christmas Tree
When it comes to Mariah Carey and Christmas, you just don't know where the All I want For Christmas is You singer draw a line between her career as the playlist queen of Christmas and her personal obsession with the festive season. We reckon, there is no such line, for only that can explain her continued reign over Christmas (and our continued obsession with anything Mariah post Halloween) for three decades. This year, Carey has embarked on her Christmas Time tour, and she has not one, but four Christmas trees as supporting acts.
Joe & Jill Biden’s Last White House Christmas Decor
From Jackie Kennedy’s iconic Nutcracker Suite theme to the strikingly bold, all-red trees of Melania Trump’s tenure, Christmas at the White House has long been a showcase of provocative (and maximalist) festive décor that even the Kardashians couldn’t outdo. It's an unsurprisingly extravagant affair—with, at times, a touch of arts-and-crafts charm.
On December 2, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden unveiled the White House Christmas décor for the final time in President Biden's term. This year’s theme? “A Season of Peace and Light,” a message comes to life through 83 Christmas trees gracing more than a dozen rooms and halls, adorned with over 28,125 ornaments, 2,200 faux doves, 165,075 twinkling lights and, naturally, 9,810 feet of ribbon. And let’s not forget the beloved tradition: this year’s gingerbread White House, which features a heartwarming scene of ice skaters gracefully gliding across a miniature South Lawn.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Traditional London Christmas
For Christmas 2024, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who has currently based herself in London to film the Citadel 2 series, has gone all out, and all traditional, leaning into the tried and true red, green and gold Christmas tree scheme. Of course, it's caught the fancy of her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas.
Paris Hilton’s Pretty in Pink Christmas Tree
Taking after her mother, Kathy Hilton, the matriarch of the Hilton household who has become something of a poster icon for extravagant holiday décor, Paris Hilton is going all out with her Christmas decorations this year. On TikTok, Paris Hilton showcased her holiday wonderland, perfectly embracing the growing trend of pink holiday décor. Her home features several Christmas trees, all decked out in her signature shade, from towering green trees adorned with pink baubles to smaller pink and purple sparkly trees for a festive setup that effortlessly captures the recent rise in pink-themed interiors.
Tan France’s Classic 2024 Christmas Tree
Tan France also embraces a fuller, more adorned tree, as seen in his Instagram post from November 1, where he showcased a tinsel-covered tree, complete with sparkling baubles and trinkets—except for the bottom third, which was left bare for fear that his children might grab them. With green interiors that subtly add to the Christmas-sy atmosphere, other more subtle touches include small shelf-top trees and nutcrackers on the mantel.
Real Housewives of Dubai Star Caroline Stanbury's Candy Cane Christmas Tree
Trust a Real Housewives of Dubai star to go all out for a fun, playful Christmas in the desert. Caroline Stanbury and husband Sergio Carrallo did not disappoint. Their LA-Style villa in Dubai is decked out with life-size nutcrakers, festive garlands and multiple Christmas trees, all designed by Rima Dardenne of Irony Home. Our favourite? This pastel pink candy cane confection that is just as joyful as the festive season.
