Cotton candy Christmas tree
This pretty-in-pink tree features treats like ice cream and lollipops for sweetness and disco-ball ornaments for sparkle. Blogger Meredith Timms Staggers came up with the idea for her daughter’s backyard birthday party (complete with fake snow and a shed-turned-gingerbread house).

Wildlife Christmas tree
Resin animals and antlers — along with a leaf garland and even the faux tree itself — were sprayed with white chalk paint for a winter wonderland effect. Interior designer Jessica Becker also added a thick rope to further the rustic vibe. Lit from within, the tree looks otherworldly.

Tiffany Christmas tree
Just like the baubles found within those classic turquoise boxes, lilly.belle33‘s ode to the luxury retailer feels special. An extra-large garland adds heft and sparkle. Follow suit, and you just might have “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” on Christmas morning!

Balloon Christmas tree
This ready-to-party tree, with a balloon garland, balloon topper and quirky balloon dog ornaments, reflects the Creative Heart Studio creative director Lilly Jimenez’s love of pink — and of course balloons! It’s sure to lift spirits.

Ice cream Christmas tree
This adorable tree, which L.A. blogger Lauren Gardner designed for her daughter’s bedroom, features kid-proof (plastic!) popsicle ornaments along with rose gold ribbon and pink pom-pom sprigs. Sweet dreams indeed.

Unicorn Christmas tree
Whimsical unicorn ornaments and a pink pom-pom topper turn a white faux tree into a fantastical creation fit for a fairytale. This magical tree comes from Corina.

Butterfly Christmas tree
Look closely and you’ll see butterflies resting all over this magical tree, designed by Erin Swift, founder of New York City Christmas tree concierge company Holiday Workroom. Orange ornaments pick up on the color of the wings, while a sheepskin tree skirt makes for a soft landing spot.
