Flocked Christmas Trees

Nothing says Christmas quite like a glittering dusting of snow. A flocked Christmas tree lets you bring a taste of the winter into your home — no matter what the weather’s like outside. Whether you’re nostalgic for your childhood snow days or just love a sparkly fir, a flocked tree will help you create the perfect festive atmosphere. 

What Colors Look Best With a Flocked Christmas Tree?

Most flocked Christmas trees have green branches covered with artificial white snow. This combination offers a neutral backdrop that looks fabulous with many colors. 

If you prefer a traditional look, decorate your flocked tree with red and green ornaments — maybe some candy canes or glass bulbs. These classic holiday colors will pop against the snow-covered branches, instantly brightening your space. Add a Santa or reindeer-printed tree skirt for a playful touch. 

For a more glamorous feel, choose bright metallic ornaments in gleaming gold, sparkling silver, or vintage copper. These vibrant colors will stand out strikingly against the white artificial snow. Complete the look with shimmering tinsel and silky bows for a chic — yet totally festive — holiday showpiece. 

Are you looking for something a little less conventional? Choose a bold red or pink flocked Christmas tree. Pair it with white ornaments for an eye-catching contrast, or pick matching decorations for an ultra-modern, monochromatic look. 

These unusual trees make great conversation starters while your guests unwrap presents or mingle before Christmas dinner. 

What’s the Difference Between a Frosted Tree and Flocked Tree?

People often refer to frosted and flocked Christmas trees interchangeably, but they have a few small differences. 

A flocked Christmas tree has a thick coating of artificial snow, as though it’s been brought inside straight from a fresh snowfall. The snow-covered branches make the tree glimmer, especially when paired with soft yellow lights. 

A frosted tree has a lighter dusting of snow, allowing more of the tree’s greenery to show. This subtler option works best if you want your ornaments to be the main focal point. By contrast, a frosted tree typically works best with minimal ornaments that let the snowy branches shine. 

Many retailers sell pre-flocked or pre-frosted trees. Or, if you’re a fan of DIY projects, you can easily make one by spraying textured snow on a regular artificial tree.
