There are so many things we love about Christmas, but decorating the tree is just about our favorite tradition. Dressing up the family fir can be so much fun, even as a grown-up. Just grabs some lights and your favorite hand-me-down ornaments, and your Christmas masterpiece awaits. (Pro-tip: Holiday cookies can definitely help you get the job done faster.)
While it’s hard for anyone to resist that holiday sparkle, celebrities take Christmas cheer to a new level. A-listers seem to always go all out for their holiday decorations, outdoing themselves each year. For famous kiddos, this always makes for a magical Xmas.
Having a mansion means tons of space to decorate, so stars often snag trees that tower over 10′, 15′, even 20′ tall! And with all those rooms to fill, they might even need more than one.

Jennifer Lopez looked super festive in a Dec. 7, 2022 Instagram. She rocked head-to-toe red while striking a pose in front of a giant tree with silver baubles and a matching scarlet skirt.

“Carol of the Bells” played in the background as the former daytime diva scanned the tree for some of her favorite baubles. Among them: stars, photos, acorns, a handbag, the 5th avenue sign, and even a mini margarita glass
Jennifer Aniston
While Jennifer Aniston didn’t reveal her full decoration situation, she gave fans a glimpse of her tree and one very special adornment via her Instagram. In the first photo, the Friends star wrapped her arms around a gorgeous tree. She was winter chic for the outing, clad in a grey coat with natural curls in her hair.
During the trip, Jen snagged a cute wooden reindeer, made from a spare log and extra pine branches. The decoration almost didn’t make it to her mantle, however. The next video in the carousel showed the star’s excited pooches trying to snag the toy. “Good luck to all the wooden Rudolphs out there,” she joked in the caption.
Katherine Schwarzenegger
Katherine Schwarzenegger enlisted the help of her eldest daughter, two-year-old Lyla Maria to make some Christmas magic happen. Ringing in the holidays, the children’s book author shared an Instagram of her little lady decorating a tiny potted tree.

Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner got into the Christmas spirit almost as soon as the Thanksgiving dishes were done, and the reality star’s tree was truly a sight to behold. Reaching up to the grand entryway’s second-story ceiling, the fir appeared to be at least 20′ feet tall. With that much tree to decorate, Kylie made sure to have a team on hand to put everything together.
They wrapped the two-story tree in lights, before covering it in hand-blown glass ornaments for a classic look. Kylie’s daughter Stormi Webster, 4, and niece True Thompson, also 4, looked like they were in awe when they got to see the Christmas spectacle.
