Best Santa Ornaments for 2025
Santa himself is the subject of so many ornaments for a Christmas tree - a signal of the magic on your tree every holiday season. This year, Santa ornmaents are trending with the phrase “heritage Christmas décor” - key to this trend is anything using blown glass, European craftsmanship, and traditional holiday colours. And if we can find a Ralph Lauren-inspired Santa, we’re sure that’s going to be trending as well.
Below is our roundup of our favorite Santa ornaments for this holiday season including a showstopping “celestial Santa” in a 19th century inspired balloon…
⭐ The Showpiece: Christopher Radko “Among the Stars” Sleigh Ornament
Love this blown-glass ornament of Santa in a glittering sleigh with a celestial balloon above - a “centerpiece” ornament for your tree. Hand-crafted in Europe.
“Christmas is in the Bag”
Majestic and the reason for the season - this Radko Santa with his holly-strewn bag is the perfect centerpiece on a red, gold and white tree.
“He’s got the beat”
We love this tuba-totin’ Santa who is ready to be part of any musical group you’re putting together.
“Signed, sealed, and ready to deliver”
This ornament flips the “letters to Santa” idea on it’s hand with Santa himself, in the mail.
“Vintage Santa”
Vroom vroom, Santa’s on the move, wheeling right onto the front of your tree in a little red Corvette (sort of) packed with presents.
🎨 Style Your Santas
Make Santa ornaments stand out:
✅ 1. Create a “Santa Storyline”
Cluster Santas in different groups — sleigh, chimney, sack of toys — to tell a visual vignette. And should you keep them on the tree - consider how they look on a standalone ornament hanger or mantel.
✅ 2. Mix Premium & Everyday Santas
Mix a Christopher Radko Santa at eye level - bring in a glittering Kurt Adler or Old World Christmas Santa to fill out the branches and add balance.
✅ 3. Use those Warm White Lights
Warms LEDs make all your blown-glass Santa glow.
✅ 4. Add Ribbons, Bows and Bells
Add in velvet ribbons or tartan bows and some brass bells alongside your Santa ornaments.
