The holiday season is synonymous with the warm, nostalgic feeling that a living tree brings to a home. Whether adorned with tinsel, garlands, or glowing lights, living Christmas trees and wintergreens are an essential part of holiday décor, evoking feelings of joy and togetherness. At Great Garden Plants, we are excited to introduce our selection of living holiday trees that can complement your festive tablescapes and overall décor. From beautiful flocked foliage to vibrant scarlet red berries, these plants offer a variety of options to enhance your holiday setup.
Deck Out Porches & Patios
Mini Christmas trees are an excellent way to infuse festive cheer into any porch, patio, or balcony. These small trees can be the centerpiece, beautifully illuminated with outdoor lights or paired with evergreen shrubs that withstand chilly temperatures. For a striking look, consider the vibrant chartreuse of the Lemon Cypress holiday tree, which stands out against a rustic wooden porch. Alternatively, the Flocked Dwarf Alberta Spruce holiday tree offers a cool-toned winter wonderland aesthetic perfect for welcoming guests. Pair these trees with upcycled containers and ribbon to create a charming, present-like display. Whether welcoming family, friends, or even the local mailman, these holiday trees will leave a lasting impression.
Great Garden Tip: Protect flocked trees from rain exposure to maintain their snowy appearance. Place them in a sheltered area and water at the base.
Add the Final Touches to Holiday Décor
The holiday season is an excellent opportunity to express your creativity through home décor. Whether adorning a mantle with glowing firelight or setting up a holiday-themed hot cocoa bar, wintergreens and mini trees can accentuate almost any area of your home or apartment.

Great Garden Tip: Since these trees and shrubs are living, they require some daylight to remain fresh throughout the season. Position them near a window for natural light and ensure the base stays moist for optimal health.
Create Enchanting Holiday Tablescapes
A tablescape is a themed arrangement on a dining table filled with decorative elements such as candles, folded napkins, holiday trinkets, or bold centerpieces. During the holiday season, many enjoy experimenting with festive-themed tablescapes. As plant enthusiasts, we love incorporating foliage and flower cuttings from outdoors, fragrant mini trees, or wintergreen plants with scarlet red berries. These natural elements bring the cozy, nurturing atmosphere of the outdoors right to your table. Whether it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, arranging a themed tablescape is a unique way to express your style and make lasting memories.
Recreate Your Favorite Holiday Movies
Beyond traditional décor ideas, you can transform your tabletop with a movie-themed holiday tree! Whether it’s based on classic Claymation films or beloved family comedies, use themed ornaments, ribbons, and other items to capture the nostalgic essence of your favorite Christmas movies. For instance, we created a movie-themed tree featuring our tabletop Lemon Cypress, modeled after a famous grumpy green Christmas character from our childhood. The possibilities are endless for creative pop culture references, so let your imagination run wild! Tell us, how will you decorate your mini holiday tree?
