Christmas trees have always been a chance to show a little personality. While traditional red, gold and silver decorations will always have their place, more people are turning their Christmas trees into something much more personal – and food-inspired Christmas baubles are one of our favourite ways to do it.
From miniature pastries and colourful cocktails to favourite snacks and festive treats, food Christmas decorations bring colour, humour and character to your tree. They're perfect for anyone looking for something a little different from traditional Christmas ornaments.
Christmas Decorations With Personality
One of the best things about decorating a Christmas tree is that there really aren't any rules.
Your collection of Christmas tree decorations can tell a story about the people in your home. A croissant bauble might remind you of weekend breakfasts, a pizza decoration could be perfect for the person who never turns down a slice, while a cocktail-inspired ornament can bring back memories of celebrations with friends.
Rather than filling your tree with identical decorations, choosing individual novelty Christmas baubles allows you to build a collection that feels completely your own.
And that's exactly what we love about them.
Food-Inspired Christmas Baubles
Food and Christmas have always gone hand in hand, so perhaps it's no surprise that food-inspired Christmas decorations look so at home on the tree.
There are countless possibilities, including:
-
Cakes, pastries and sweet treats
-
Pizza, pasta and takeaway favourites
-
Fruit and vegetable decorations
-
Coffee and hot chocolate ornaments
-
Champagne, cocktails and other drinks
-
Traditional festive foods
-
Biscuits, sweets and chocolates
These playful designs look fantastic mixed amongst classic glass baubles, bows, lights and greenery.
You don't need to create an entirely food-themed Christmas tree, either. Adding just a handful of unusual decorations between more traditional ornaments can give your tree much more personality.
Create a Christmas Tree That's Completely Yours
The days of every decoration needing to perfectly match are disappearing.
Some of the most interesting Christmas trees combine different colours, textures, shapes and themes. A traditional glass bauble can sit beside a miniature doughnut. A velvet bow can hang next to a cocktail glass. An elegant gold ornament can share a branch with a slice of pizza.
It shouldn't work – but somehow it does.
This mix-and-match approach means your Christmas tree can grow with you too. Instead of replacing your decorations every few years, you can add a few special pieces each Christmas and gradually build a collection filled with memories.
Novelty Baubles Make Brilliant Christmas Gifts
A carefully chosen novelty Christmas bauble also makes a wonderfully personal Christmas gift.
Think about someone's favourite food, drink, hobby or personality and choose an ornament to match. It's a small gift, but one they'll be able to bring out every Christmas.
They're particularly good for stocking fillers, Secret Santa gifts, host gifts and those occasions when you're searching for a thoughtful present for someone who seems to have everything.
A beautiful Christmas ornament can become part of someone's festive traditions for years to come.

Of course, creating a beautiful festive home doesn't stop at the Christmas tree.
