Ready or not, here Christmas comes! If you are reading this, chances are you’ve already at least started decorating for the holidays. Or, you plan to begin very soon. If you celebrate Christmas and also appreciate the nuances of a beautiful environment, then you know how much fun it is to revel in a festively decorated home. But sometimes, year after year, we tire of the same Christmas colours and want to spice things up a bit with something new. I have just the idea for you: pink Christmas decorations.
Why Pink?
Firstly, you have to at least like pink to want to decorate with pink Christmas decorations. If you don’t like pink, there are plenty of other fun decorating themes you can create! Consider the way you prefer to decorate and celebrate the holidays, and go from there to decide what style best suits you.
Pink is a very close cousin to red, the traditional primary Christmas colour. While red is a fantastic colour, pink is a refreshingly softer version that feels a little quieter, a little more tinkly (if colours made sounds). It’s a colour we associate with candy and pastries, Christmas staples. And while you may not be up for decorating your entire space in pink, it can be a fun diversion in a certain room or nook. As with year-round home decor, it can be fun to switch themes from room to room!
Valentine’s Day is the next commercially visible holiday in Western tradition and, as such, a perfect excuse to buy a pink Christmas tree. You might get some chuckles or comments if people visit late January and see your ‘after-party’ Christmas tree still up, but they won’t think twice to see a pink ‘Valentine’s Day’ tree. Consider the economic versatility in morphing one season’s decor into another.
Do you like The Nutcracker Suite? Pink works well with a Nutcracker theme. It is often incorporated into the ballet’s scenes – such as in Clara’s dress or other costumes or scenery. One example is the Sugarplum Fairy’s Land of Sweets.
You don’t have to display only pink Christmas decorations; you can simply incorporate pink as a dominant colour amidst other complementing colours. This doesn’t work with every theme, but pink does fit nicely with rich reds, cool blues, pretty purples, deep greens, and – of course – snowy, sparkly whites.

Christmas Trees
1. Buying a real or lifelike artificial Christmas tree and dressing it in pink garlands and ornaments alone will add plenty of pink to your space. But why stop there? Go all out with this 6-foot candy pink artificial Christmas tree! Neither real nor artificial trees are cheap, but you can re-use an artificial tree year after year. If you dig that idea but aren’t married enough to pink to warrant such a purchase, it also comes in stunning gold, silver or even black!
This 4-foot pink artificial Christmas tree comes pre-lit and in a darker shade of pink. I had one very similar to it and it cast a lovely pink glow when plugged in! If you like the idea of an artificial pink tree but perhaps not all six feet of one, this is a more affordable alternative and takes up less storage space than a full-sized tree. Its smaller size allows it to stand nicely on the floor or on a table (helpful to keep out of reach of curious little fingers, too).
2. For a smaller pink Christmas tree, this little 7-inch decorative pink tree with glossy pink ball ornaments would look adorable on a mantel, as part of a table centerpiece arrangement, or in any other space you can embellish with pink Christmas decorations.
Christmas Tree Decorations
Whether you opt for a pink tree or prefer a natural-coloured one, there are plenty of tree garnishes that ring in pink, loud and clear.
3. Crown your Christmas tree with this glittery rose gold star, a perfectly sparkly tree topper. It also comes in blue, gold, silver, purple or red, and is available in sizes of 4, 6, 8, or 10-inches.
4. Balls are the quintessential Christmas tree ornaments.
This lovely set of six pink glass balls comes either plain or embellished. This set of 25 shatter-resistant plastic balls comes in five different textures of a gorgeous, satiny pink (or in any of several other colour options).
Not only can you hang decorative balls on a Christmas tree, but you can string them across a doorway or room opening, or display them in a basket or bowl as a festive table centerpiece.
5. Don’t let your Christmas tree go naked! Adorn its base with this glamorous sequined rose gold skirt available in a 24, 36 or 48-inch diameter. The gifts under your tree will have a dazzling backdrop. A close cousin of pink, rose gold is a trendier and more subtle shade that you’ll easily find in many decorations. This tree skirt is also available in several other colours.
Mantel Decor
You won’t only find gifts under the tree. Hanging stockings stuffed with playful little gifts is a fun tradition that has made mantel displays just as prominent as the Christmas tree.
6. This fuzzy pink personalized stocking looks cosy enough to wear as a (very oversized) sock. Add an optional initial in sparkly pink font to personalize it so that nobody’s mistaking any one stocking for another. An alternative is this simpler but just as fuzzy pink stocking. It can’t be customized but is also cute and can come in white or gray as well.
7. Snowflakes are one of those convenient decorations that can stay up through January and February because they are weather-based and not holiday-based.
If you appreciate sparkling snowflake ornaments, this set of ten pink snowflakes is accented in glitter to create a magical wintry atmosphere in any home. If you want rose gold snowflakes, this set of 36 glittery snowflakes comes in various sizes and is also available in white. Like ball ornaments, snowflakes need not be limited to the Christmas tree. They are also beautiful hung across doorways, from the mantel, or especially from windows!
Experiment, Play, and Have Fun Decorating with Pink
With these seven Christmas decor staples, you’re set with a solid foundation for a pink Christmas. Depending on how much you want to embellish, there are so many other fun pink Christmas decorations available from multiple sellers and places. If you have the time and enjoy making things, you can also buy craft supplies from a dollar store, crafts store, or department store and make your own pink Christmas decorations! Christmas crafting is a popular art and you’ll find plenty of supplies; just swap the reds and greens with pink and any other colours you prefer. Above all, make decorating fun and don’t be afraid to go bold this holiday season.
Cheers to you and happy holidays!
