One opulently furnished and enviously decorated home at a time, celebrities are bringing holiday cheer to social media.
These are the greatest celebrity Christmas trees and decorations of 2024, ranging from Jill Biden’s final white house Christmas to a Kardashian sister’s shockingly simple scheme and Paris Hilton’s pink and purple extravaganza. Our choice is designer Rose Uniacke’s luxurious-minimalist transformation of Victoria Beckham’s London flagship.
Christmas is a time for happiness, celebration, and pure rivalry. Something about the holidays makes us want to do better, larger, and brighter things, from lavish Christmas trees to eye-catching light displays. On social media, where celebrities share glimpses of their holiday-ready houses, this lighthearted rivalry is most noticeable. At best, decorating like a celebrity for the holidays appears impossible due to the large staircases, double-height living rooms, and frequently acres of land (of course, it helps when skilled decorators and interior designers are behind the scenes). Nevertheless, the peeks these celebrities give of their holiday retreats are a never-ending source of inspiration, whether it’s White House-worthy gingerbread houses, Kardashian-style winter wonderlands, or entrances decorated with the elegance 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.
The Best Celebrity Christmas Trees of 2024 for Festive Décor Trends
The “naked” Christmas tree has become the most popular festive décor trend among celebrities in 2024, with everyone from Victoria Beckham to the Kardashian sisters adopting a simple, no-flash, no-bright-colored, or large-baubled look.
The Kardashian Christmas Trees for 2024
The Kardashians are more productive than Santa. Every year, the well-known family hosts a lavish Christmas Eve party, which somehow explains why every Kardashian-Jenner family member decorates their homes as if Santa’s reputation depended on it. This year, lifestyle tycoon Kim Kardashian used Instagram Stories to show off a massive Christmas tree to her fans. Kourtney Kardashian, meanwhile, revealed a completely festive takeover of her house on the social networking site. Highlights included an all-red paradise with red trees and red balloons, a carefully planned Christmas dinner, and a large tree display in her foyer, one of which is upside down to honor Travis and Kourtney’s love of bold, unconventional design.
Khloé Kardashian’s minimalist Christmas décor is perhaps the real show-stopper of the family’s décor this year, following a trend that many celebrities are fond of this time of year. The only decorations on her practically bare Christmas tree—which is free of ornaments, tinsel, and a tree topper—are warm LED lights that twinkle. Her mantel also has a minimalist look. A sophisticated, low-key event is the epitome of Christmas.
Kylie Jenner’s Christmas Tree
In the meantime, Kylie Jenner shared a glimpse of her holiday paradise with her 395 million Instagram followers, with the assistance of Jeff Leatham, the family’s preferred florist. The focal point? In her magnificent entrance, a nearly two-story Christmas tree adorned with gingerbread house baubles and Santa Claus ornaments towered. A squadron of enormous nutcrackers stands watch at the door, while more Christmas trees (of the standard size) are scattered around the remainder of her house. As one might anticipate, Kylie’s vacation house is a blend of classic charm and extravagant extravagance.
Victoria Beckham’s 2024 Christmas Decor
Similar to Khloé Kardashian, Victoria Beckham is embracing the luxury-minimalist trend at her store with a Christmas celebration that blends style with austerity. Beckham asked Rose Uniacke to redesign her London flagship store on Dover Street in honor of the season. With the help of rich green tones, luxurious velvets, and antique furniture, Rose completely changed the store’s aesthetic. The tall trees, which are essentially left bare save for a delicate sprinkling of lights, also feature minimalist décor. In an interview with Vogue, Beckham revealed her particular Christmas décor preferences, saying, “We have some beautiful little tea lights outside the house on our olive trees.” Then a plain tea-light-adorned Christmas tree. Nothing too difficult.
Christmas Trees of Famous People With Classic Festive Elegance
Christmas customs are difficult to break, and while some people prefer minimalist trees, others adhere to a traditional festive style that is vibrant and charming. Salma Hayek, for instance, was the epitome of adopting a more conventional, festive style with her bright, colorful Christmas tree from the previous year.
Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey’s 2024 Christmas Tree
You simply don’t know where Mariah Carey, the singer of “All I Want For Christmas is You,” draws the line between her personal obsession with the holiday season and her role as the playlist queen of Christmas. We believe that there is no such boundary since only that would account for her three-decade dominance of Christmas (and our ongoing fixation on anything Mariah after Halloween). Carey has not one, but four Christmas trees as supporting acts on her Christmas Time tour this year.
Joe & Jill Biden’s Last White House Christmas Decor
Even the Kardashians couldn’t top the White House’s longstanding display of daring (and maximalist) festive décor, which dates back to Jackie Kennedy’s famous Nutcracker Suite theme and Melania Trump’s remarkably bold, all-red trees. Unsurprisingly, it’s a lavish event with a dash of arts-and-crafts charm.
For the last time during President Biden’s administration, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden displayed the White House’s Christmas décor on December 2. The topic for this year? With over 28,125 ornaments, 2,200 fake doves, 165,075 glittering lights, and, of course, 9,810 feet of ribbon, 83 Christmas trees adorning over a dozen rooms and hallways bring the message “A Season of Peace and Light” to life. This year’s gingerbread White House, which showcases a charming tableau of ice skaters delicately floating across a small South Lawn, is another popular tradition that should not be overlooked.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Traditional London Christmas
In keeping with the tried-and-true red, green, and gold Christmas tree plan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is presently stationed in London to film the Citadel 2 series, has gone all out and traditional for Christmas 2024. Naturally, her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas has taken a like to it.
Paris Hilton’s Pretty in Pink Christmas Tree
Paris Hilton is going all out with her Christmas decorations this year, following in the footsteps of her mother, Kathy Hilton, the matriarch of the Hilton household and something of a poster child for ostentatious holiday décor. Paris Hilton embraced the emerging trend of pink holiday décor to perfection when she displayed her festive fantasy on TikTok. From tall green trees with pink ornaments to smaller pink and purple glittering trees, her house has multiple Christmas trees, all decked up in her signature shade. The festive arrangement perfectly reflects the recent trend of pink-themed interior design.
Tan France’s Classic 2024 Christmas Tree
As evidenced by his November 1 Instagram photo, in which he displayed a tinsel-covered tree with glittering ornaments and trinkets—aside from the bottom third, which was left bare out of concern that his kids would grasp them—Tan France likewise prefers a fuller, more ornamented tree. Small shelf-top trees and nutcrackers on the mantel are more modest accents, while the interiors are green and discreetly contribute to the Christmas-like ambiance.
