Christmas Tree Collar Ideas & Picks

A Christmas Tree Collar is a great alternative to a Christmas tree skirt, especially if you have pets or small children! See how stylish these tree collars can be and find inspiration and the best options available today (before they sell out)!

I know most of you likely haven’t started decorating for Christmas yet, and may not for a few weeks. But, once you’re ready, one of the first items I like to have on hand is our Christmas tree collar so it’s in place once I go to set up the tree! When I first started using them many years ago, they weren’t nearly as popular. But tree collars are now continuing to grow in popularity because they’re so easy to use and a chic alternative to a tree skirt. Each year I’m asked to share them earlier and earlier so the selection is still plentiful.

So today, I wanted to share all of the available options that are in stock and will be to you before you’re ready to decorate. And if you don’t want to think about Christmas this early, that’s okay! You can save this post for later or just ignore it entirely 😉

You may have noticed I have loved using a Christmas tree collar with our trees over the years. Today I’m sharing more than 30 Christmas tree collar ideas as well as my top picks of those available for sale today! I realize I’m sharing them a bit early in the season, but I feel like these are easier to have in place before you set up your tree. I learned the hard way several years ago 😉

What is A Tree Collar?

If you’re not familiar with what a tree collar is, they basically take the place of a Christmas tree skirt and have a much more polished and streamlined look. For us in particular, it works out well because it helps keep our cats out from under the tree. This also helps prevent them from attacking the Christmas tree skirt on a daily basis (why is this a game for them?!). I also love the look visually. It’s such a fun alternative to a tree skirt and can completely change the look of your Christmas tree!

Favorite Tree Collars for Your Christmas Tree

Before you order a Christmas tree stand collar, you’ll want to ensure that you order one large enough to accommodate the base of your Christmas tree stand. In most situations, you shouldn’t have any issues (unless perhaps you have an unusually tall tree). But I want to point that out so you don’t order one that won’t fit your tree! Since it’s a collar, if you place your Christmas tree stand on the floor (without the tree attached), you should be able to slip the collar over and then assemble the tree. So, the base of the tree shouldn’t be wider than the base of your collar.

Following are even more holiday tree collar ideas that are currently in stock at various retailers! Simply click any of the images below (you may have to double-tap on mobile) to go to the product details. Several in the graphic above have sold out. However, I’ve linked to a ton of options still available as of today and will continue to add to the list as more become available!

Here you can see all the variety available in this woven tree collar (they’ve since added a fourth stain!). All eight options are available on the same listing and one of the few I’ve found in such a large size offering! I also love that there is a cut-out for the cord, unlike most tree collars.

Are you a fan of tree collars paired with a Christmas tree? If so, hopefully you found one you love! You can pin the graphic below to save on your holiday decorating boards as well!
