15 Best Tabletop Christmas Trees of 2023

EDITOR’S CHOICE: This National Tree Mini Christmas Tree embraces nostalgia with the traditional, bottlebrush flat needles you grew up with and fluffs out to 18 inches in diameter. It’s 24 inches tall which is the sweet spot for a miniature tree in my opinion–small enough to work in tiny spaces, but not so small that you can’t fit presents under it or decorate it with small ornaments.

It’s pre-lit with 30 white lights and comes with spare bulbs and fuses. These lights are not battery operated and you will need access to an outlet to run them. The base is wrapped in a festively dark red fabric so you don’t have to worry about covering up a plain-looking stand or getting a tree skirt. It’s also available in gold fabric if that better fits your decor.

If you prefer colorful lights, it also comes in pre-lit with multicolor LED lights.

For those who like the look of presents but aren’t exchanging this year, you can pick up some small gift boxes that come complete with bows as decorations.

With this Two-Foot Flocked Alpine Tree, you can get the trendy alpine-style tree without sacrificing your traditional full-size tree. 

This mini tree has rustic down-swept branches and thick, wooden central pole. I love alpine trees because there’s never any worry about having to hide the center pole because it’s meant to be seen.

It’s heavily flocked for a wintry look and pre-lit with white LED lights. If you like the look of this but want something bigger it also comes as a seven-foot tall tree.

If your decor theme this year is metallics, check out this Retro Ceramic Tree.

It has a bright, electroplated chrome finish and 50 colorful lights that come pre-installed. The shiny surface reflects all the lights making the colors twinkle and dance. 

This one also comes in refective champagne gold.

At 15 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide at the base, it’s a perfect size for a centerpiece, coffee table, or countertop.

If A Charlie Brown Christmas is a staple of your holiday season, this adorable little Charlie Brown Tree brings the classic into your home.

It’s 24 inches at its tallest, but the flexible wire can be bent and positioned however you like it, including in the drooping, sad Charlie Brown tree shape.

The branches are covered in soft, brown paper-tape and the needles are bottle brush style. You also get the one Christmas ball ornament and a small piece of blue fabric to represent Linus’ blanket.

This would make a nice gift for the Peanuts lover in your life, along with the 50th Anniversary Edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas DVD.

For a battery-operated option, this two-foot Feel Real Tabletop Tree from National Tree is festive and compact.

Instead of all the same type of branch, this tree combines a variety of long, white pine type thin needles, medium branches, and thinner spruce type branches with short needles. This, along with the slight shifting in the colors of green, gives this tree a unique, interesting look.

The branches are from National Tree’s “Feel Real” line so they are molded from real tree branches for a life-life appearance and feel. Glossy red berries and real pinecones spruce up this spruce (see what I did there?) and make it perfect as is, but there’s still enough space for some decoration if you want them.

At two feet tall and 14 inches wide, it’s a nice compact tree that’s pre-lit with 35 white LED bulbs that run on batteries. There’s also a timer option that will turn your tree on for six hours then off for the other 18 hours of the day.

This White Tipped Miniature Tree is studded with pinecones and frosted with delicate snow flocking along with a light dusting of glitter.

The effect looks like sunlight on light, fresh snowfall. It’s pre-lit with 15 warm white LED which run on batteries so there are no cords to deal with. The lights are on a timer so once you turn them on at night they’ll run for six hours, turn off for 18, then turn back on again at the same dime every day.

It has a rustic burlap covered base so there’s no need for a tree skirt. The tree comes as a two-foot tree featured above or three-foot tree.

For a more rustic look, check out this Pine and Berry Tree. It’s two feet tall, 16 inches in diameter and lightly flocked for a fresh snow effect.

Decorated with artificial red berries and real grapevines and pinecones, this tree is perfect for a homey cottage, cabin, or country aesthetic.

While it only has 52 tips, the branches are wide and full. This tree comes pre-lit with 20 clear lights that are powered by an AC adapter so you’ll need access to an outlet for this one. The base is wrapped in burlap to complete the rustic effect.

I’ve gotta love this Mini Pink Tree because enough with the super realism–sometimes you just need an aluminum Christmas tree.

These mini one foot tall cute little trees come in baby pink, purple, red, white, and black. With a diameter of only seven inches, these small trees will fit nearly anywhere. They’re perfect if you want your decoration to really get some attention or for a colorful tablescape.

Fully poseable, these trees come decorated with silver pinecones, matching ribbon bows, and silver and complimentary colored Christmas balls. They arrive in a silver basket so you don’t need a tree skirt if you won’t want one. These are adorable little gifts.

Being so small, they make for great desk decorations that really stand out in a crowd.

The skinny branches of this Caramel Pine Tree look just like the real spruce saplings you can buy for the season and the burlap-covered base is both rustic and true to what tree farmers use to protect tree roots.

It comes in 18-inch, 24-inch, and 36-inch heights and all the skinny branches give you plenty of room for lights and ornaments.

If you want to avoid too many wires and the tree will be positioned near a window you can try using solar Christmas lights.

Did you grow up with these Ceramic Trees? I know I did. Bask in the warm glow of nostalgia with this ceramic tree and its 50 multicolored lights.

A bulb that is housed inside the tree lights up, filling the 50 bulbs and the clear star tree topper with light. It’s 14.5 inches tall if you count the star and 7.5 inches wide, which is a perfect size for a dining table or centerpiece tree.

They have improved the design since I was a kid and now the 50 little bulbs aren’t removable so you won’t have little ones playing with the lights and then they end up lost somewhere. The lamp is electric so you’ll need access to an outlet. If the green glaze isn’t your style, this tree also comes in beautiful, vintage white.

This Holiday Peak Northwoods Greenery Tree is 32 inches of twinkling, fiber optic Christmas goodness. The tree is pre-lit with color-changing fiber optic lights which complement the golden base and bright gold star.

If storage is an issue, this Pop-Up Christmas Tree collapses into a flat disc that’s easy to store. That also makes setting up a breeze as you just lift it to expand the tree and you’re set to go.

It’s just over 22 inches tall and comes pre-lit and pre-decorated including the golden star on top.
