The Best Christmas Tree Skirts To Beautifully Jazz Up Your Holiday Decor

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how we hate to see your trunk bare. Keeping the base of your tree uncovered could make the whole design appear off, which is why it's important to choose the right tree skirt. However, this may be an overwhelming process, as there are a lot of types and aesthetics out there, so it can be hard to pin down what you're looking for. Are you going for a Scandinavian Christmas with warm tones and minimal designs? Do you want a retro, multi-colored skirt to pair with your vintage silver tinsel tree? There's no shortage of options for whatever your holiday style entails. To help you find what you're looking for, we've found 19 of the best tree skirts available.

Christmas skirts were originally intended to catch hot melting wax from lit candles and stray pine needles. But even as we stopped using real flame candles (hello, fire hazard!) and many folks switched to artificial trees, tree skirts remain a part of Christmas décor for the festive season. Nowadays, this design element is a great way to showcase your personal aesthetic, so think about what your unique Christmas style is because it may go far beyond the classic reds and greens. You should also consider the price, material, and ease of maintenance.

At House Digest, we always want to create shopping guides that are accessible and helpful to a wide audience. So, when we were compiling a list of Christmas tree skirts, we wanted to keep in mind that even within the Christmas decoration category, there is no end of subcategories and aesthetic nuances. That's why this tree skirt list accounts for a number of holiday design styles such as vintage, cottagecore, and modern. 

Additionally, we looked at highly-rated sellers that we trust to deliver quality, whether they're individual Etsy shop owners or giants like Amazon and Wayfair. Wherever possible, we also ensured that the products themselves were highly-reviewed with a strong majority of 5-star ratings. Ones made out of durable and easy-to-clean materials were also put at the top of our list. Finally, we made sure that we provided a wide price range for tree skirts, so you will be happy to find that there's a beautiful option for every budget.
