What is a Traditional Christmas Theme?
The traditional decorating theme pays homage to all things that make Christmas warm and comforting. Travel back in time to the festive days of your past, while making new ones for the future. From red and green furnishings to Santa decorative accents, classic Christmas décor never go out of style.
Decorate your abode with traditional Christmas elements. Think snowman figurines or an oversized nativity set out on your lawn and artificial greenery in entryways. Embellish it with velvet ribbons, holly, and pinecones for a rustic look. Hang traditional wreaths and garlands on your front door and porch railings to give guests a warm welcome. Bring the cheerful spirit indoors by decorating banisters and columns with matching foliage.
Embrace the timeless elegance of traditional decorations with nutcrackers and Christmas stockings on your mantel. Create a focal point for the room by hanging a wreath over your fireplace. Alternatively, use it as a centerpiece for your dining table. An Advent calendar of a classic Christmas village or Santa's workshop will also be an interesting conversation starter with guests.
How Do You Decorate a Traditional Christmas Tree?
- Shape your tree – Begin by fluffing your tree upon unboxing. This is a necessary step to give it a lush and lifelike look before adorning it with traditional Christmas tree decorations.
- Gather your classic tree décor – Choose traditional Christmas ornaments in shades of red and green. Then, strike a balance in colors with pops of white and gold. Add whimsical accents like poinsettia flower picks and pinecone ornaments.
- String the lights – Start from the bottom of the tree and circle your way upwards, weaving in and out of the branches. Once you reach the top, plug in your lights and check your work. Make adjustments as necessary.
- Dress up your tree with ornaments – Hang larger decorations near the faux trunk to create depth. Then, add smaller ones and finials near the tips of the branches for a layered look. To add visual interest, cluster ornaments set pieces together for a seamless design. Alternatively, group pieces of complementary colors and textures for a bold statement. Add flair by styling your tree with a wired ribbon. Layer two ribbons that follow your classic Christmas color palette for a cohesive look.
- Finish it off with a tree topper and tree skirt – Polish your design with a star tree topper to pay homage to warm memories of Christmas past. Then, set the perfect backdrop for presents with a classic velvet tree skirt.

Choosing a Tree Height
Tree Shape
Tree Light Type
Tree Foliage
Please note that all tree heights indicated on our website include the tree stand. If you want the tallest Christmas tree your room will allow, we recommend buying a tree that is six inches shorter than your ceiling height to allow some clearance for a tree topper. For example, if you have a standard 8 - 9 foot ceiling, we would suggest a 7½ foot tree. Here are some more tips:
Under 6 feet trees
Best for tabletops or secondary spaces like kitchens or dens
6 - 6 ½ feet trees
Designed to fit homes with low to average ceiling heights.
7 - 7 ½ feet trees
Our most popular size, designed to fit perfectly in rooms with average 8 - 9 feet ceilings.
9 feet trees
Our second most popular size, designed for rooms with tall ceilings of 10 - 11 feet to create a stunning effect.
10 - 12 feet trees
These trees are beautiful centerpieces for two-storey living rooms, rooms with very high ceilings and some commercial spaces.
15 - 30 feet trees
These oversized trees are popular with churches, malls, and large office spaces to create grand holiday display.
We offer artificial trees in a wide variety of shapes, from traditional full-width trees to space-saving slim trees and flatbacks. When choosing your tree, we suggest that you consider the diameter (in the Shape description, this might be described as Full 40") of the Christmas tree to help you choose the perfect tree for your space. This measurement is taken at the very widest point of the tree. If you plan to have a few branches touching a wall or a piece of furniture, the true space occupied by the tree will be about six inches less than the stated diameter.
Regular (Full) Trees
Our most popular choice because of their lush profiles and sturdy branches.
Narrow Trees
Perfect for an elegant effect in smaller rooms and apartments.
Slim Trees
Our most slender trees, ideal for tight spaces, corners and foyers.
Flatback Trees
An elegant solution for small spaces, studios and small apartments.
Topiary Trees
Beautifully accent all parts of your home including patios, entryways and porches.
Balsam Hill's designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cutting from live trees to guide them. We offer three types of foliage options that are made from either PE or PVC material. While some trees use one type of foliage exclusively, others may use mix of foliage types to achieve a particular look. The specific mix is specified on each product detail page in the section that describes the tree's foliage.
True Needle™ Technology
Balsam Hill's exclusive True Needle&tade; evergreen foliage is used to create our most realistic and luxurious artificial Christmas trees. This ultrarealistic foliage is created with injection-molded PE plastic and several different colors of pigment to mimic the structure, texture, and color of natural evergreen needles. A unique feature of True Needle™ foliage is the color variations within the branches. For example, the branch might be a brown/green while the needles start off a dark green and slowly fade to a lighter green.
Classic Needles
Balsam Hill's Classic Needle foliage has soft, flat and flexible needles with a more classic artificial look. These needles are made from thin sheets of PVC that are cut into fine strands to resemble evergreen needles. We use these resilient, flexible needles as the primary foliage of many of the trees in our very affordable Traditional trees. It is also used as filler for most of our Realistic and Most Realistic Christmas trees because of its superior ability to block light and create a "full" look for the tree.
Pine Needles
The PVC pine needles used by Balsam Hill® are specially designed to mimic the size and texture of long, thin needles of a pine tree. These needles even have the rigid texture of real pine needles. If you roll them between your thumb and finger, you will feel the ridges.
If you long for the beautiful glow of lights on your tree but dread untangling the wires, Balsam Hill's pre-lit Christmas trees are the answer. All of our lights are UL® approved and professionaly strung on the tree by hand to minimize the appearance of wires. Each of our pre-lit trees for indoor use come with premium commercial grade lights so that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest stay lit. We have a wide variety of pre-lit lighting options to suit every decorating need.
Color+Clear™ Lights
Our exclusive Color + Clear™ remote-controlled lighting system is available in both incandescent and energy-saving LED. The handy remote lets you choose clear lights, multi-colored lights, or both. With more than 50% additional lights, your tree will still have plenty of beautiful lights even if only one light type is selected. If you choose both clear and colored lights, your tree will display more lights than any other artificial tree you will find.

Enjoy the timeless look of clear lights. Our most popular style of pre-lit tree, clear lights give you the mose flexibility in your decorating, and the ability to change your look from year to year.
