The Magic Edit: Christmas Trees Kids Actually Want to Decorate

Why have an ordinary Christmas tree when you can make it magical, merry, and full of personality? This year, ditch the cookie-cutter baubles and let the kids create their own holiday masterpiece with Balsam Hill’s playful, storybook-inspired ornaments. These colourful, handcrafted decorations are made to spark imagination, laughter, and a little bit of mischief — the perfect combination for a truly memorable Christmas morning.

Festive Friends Felt Ornament Collection

Say hello to the cutest crew on the tree! Balsam Hill’s Festive Friends Felt Ornaments — including the adorable Reindeer Funfest Dogs — look like they’ve leapt straight out of a children’s Christmas tale. Handcrafted from soft felt and full of woodland charm, these cuddly characters are just the right size for little hands to hang proudly. They’re the kind of decorations that spark storytelling as much as they sparkle under the fairy lights.

Novelty Food Glass Ornament Collection

What’s more festive than a donut on your tree? These mouth-watering glass ornaments look good enough to eat (but don’t — trust us, we checked). From colourful cupcakes to cheeky fast food favourites, these quirky ornaments are guaranteed to make kids giggle and adults nostalgic. They’re bold, glittery, and deliciously fun — perfect for families who believe Christmas calories don’t count if they’re hanging on a branch.

Garden Gnomes Glass Ornament Collection

If your kids love adventure (or a little mischief), the Garden Gnomes are ready to move in. With twinkling hats, cheeky smiles, and pops of colour, these little characters bring a touch of outdoor magic to your indoor wonderland. Whether tucked near the fairy lights or hiding behind the tinsel, they’ll be the tiny stars of every game of “spot the gnome.”

Capiz Ornament Collection

For families who love a touch of sparkle without going over the top, the Capiz Ornament Collection adds the perfect soft shimmer. Made from natural capiz shells, these ornaments glow gently against the tree lights, creating that dreamy, storybook glow that makes Christmas night feel extra special. They’re a beautiful balance of whimsy and elegance — because who says kids’ décor can’t look stylish too?

Mix and match your favourites — or better yet, let the kids take the lead. Whether they gravitate toward food, fairies, or furry friends, the magic lies in the story your family creates together. The joy is in watching them light up as they find “their” ornament to hang, the one that makes the tree feel like home.

This year, skip the perfectly coordinated Pinterest tree and embrace the personality-packed version — because the best trees aren’t just decorated, they’re lived in, laughed around, and remembered long after the wrapping paper settles.
