Balsam Hill Capiz Angel Lighted Tree Topper

$99 at Balsamhill.com

Angels are another classic way to top a Christmas tree. While there are various types of angels available in the market, some with intricate clothing that resembles a Renaissance painting, we prefer this more modern pick like this topper from Balsam Hill.

This particular angel doesn't have actual clothing, which means that it won't accumulate dust or get dirty over time, making it a low-maintenance option. It comes in small and large sizes, and it’s made of see-through capiz shells and lit with incandescent lights to create a soft glow from atop the tree.

Willow Tree Song of Joy Tree Topper

A faceless design paired with an intricately patterned gown makes this hand-painted angel topper a timeless piece. Her soft pose makes it look like she's singing and dancing at the same time, and she's perfectly packaged in a fitted box, ready for gift-giving. The spiral cone makes for easy installation on a tree, but the angel can also be displayed as mantle decor.

Cody Foster Disco Ball Tree Topper

$59 at Amazon View on Burkedecor.com

Turn the holidays into a party every day with a disco ball for a tree topper. While it's not traditional, this option from Cody Foster adds a modern feel and an element of fun to your tree. This tree topper works best near a window, so the disco ball can work its magic and project beautiful light all around your living room. Lean into the nontraditional style with an entirely silver, sequined, or shiny Christmas tree for creative holiday themes.

This pick would also look amazing on colored artificial trees. During the other 11 months of the year, use your disco ball as a table centerpiece to keep the party going.

Balsam Hill Jolly Saint Nick Tree Topper

Perhaps one of the most fun toppers on this list, we love this Santa tree topper, as it’s designed to look like he’s delivering gifts on Christmas night. The topper is beautifully designed, with Santa having a nice, full beard and wearing a plush red suit complete with gold sequins.

His burlap sack of gifts appears to be overflowing, and each tiny present is carefully wrapped and finished with gold ribbon and baubles. Santa’s face and hands are hand-painted, and the chimney even has red brick detailing. This topper is sure to make even the biggest Scrooge smile.
