The 15 best Christmas tree decorations in Australia

Our top picks for a beautiful tree! - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd
  • 02 Nov 2021

With the festive season just around the corner, it's time to start planning your Christmas tree. Sometimes the best trees are a heartfelt mix-and-match affair that the kids put together, while others have more a considered design with an established theme or colour palette. Either way, we've rounded up the best new Christmas decorations so your tree dazzles this year.
