Ah, the nostalgia of the holiday season! Before the era of faux Christmas trees and all those colorful variations, the 1970s brought us the delightful tradition of the ceramic Christmas tree. Fast forward to 2019, and this vintage trend is making a charming comeback, as seen with the mini ceramic tree ornaments at Target. Imagine the quaint aesthetic of trees within trees on your holiday setup!
Target describes their collection: “Invite the nostalgic spirit of a classic ceramic Christmas tree into your home this season with the Nostalgic Trees by Mr. Christmas.” This set features four mini trees, each standing 5.5 inches tall and illuminated by simple AA batteries. It’s an adorable addition for just $50. Prefer to pick them up individually? They’re available for $6 each, though those won’t light up.
For those unfamiliar, a ceramic Christmas tree is a hand-painted, usually green, miniature tree adorned with twinkling lights on its branches. No proper 70s holiday gathering was complete without at least one of these beauties, accompanied by glass ornaments and perhaps an Elf on the Shelf. These vintage treasures come in various shapes and colors, bringing warmth to any holiday decor.
If you’re unable to find an authentic vintage ceramic tree, don’t worry—Target and many other retailers are here to help. Check out their 14-inch white Christmas tree, priced at $30, which perfectly complements the ornament set. Amazon also offers a 15-inch green version reminiscent of those from your childhood at $39.99.
For a real throwback, Wayfair has a gold tabletop ceramic tree for $54.99 that runs on batteries, making it a perfect centerpiece for your holiday table. You might even consider a pink ceramic tree, available on Amazon for $22.95, if you want something a little different!
Not into ceramic trees but still love the vintage vibe? Target’s vintage-inspired Christmas collection includes striped glass ball ornaments for $21.99, or those nostalgic glass ball cluster ornaments for $27.99, which were surely a favorite of the past.
While new holiday traditions—like sunflower Christmas trees—bring their own joy, there’s something so cozy about reliving the retro Christmases of yesteryear.
