The 2023 decorating season is in full swing. Have you finished decking the halls of your holiday home? How far along are you in this joyful annual process?
Picture this scenario: all the storage boxes have been retrieved from the attic, the basement, the garage, and that one convenient spot in the back of a closet. The ornaments, Christmas lights, garland, wreaths, centerpieces, and Nativity sets have all been unpacked, organized and staged for decorating. The “star” of the season – your Christmas tree – is in the center of the room, its beauty beaming like the Northern Lights, and then you look around and think… is there something missing?
That extra touch of holiday merriment that’s going to make your home really stand out this season?
A companion (or companions) to your current decorating lineup for your family and guests to enjoy?
Might we suggest a tabletop Christmas tree? Tabletop trees pack a whole lot of festive punch in a compact size so they can be an easy substitute for a full-length tree when you are working with a smaller space, or a perfect complement to your regular artificial tree or live tree. So many different tabletop tree flavors are available at The Bradford Exchange, from traditional, nostalgic and modern, to whimsical, rustic and entertaining. With such a wide selection, you are sure to find one (or two) to be an ideal match for your home and holiday decor.

What Types of Tabletop Trees Are Available
Once you choose the right flavor or theme for your tabletop Christmas tree, it’s time to decide on the type of tree you prefer. Not all tabletop trees are created equal.

3. Fiber Optic Trees – hundreds of pinpoints of brilliant light come together to create a magical illumination with our fiber optic trees, some with color-changing capability too.
4. Musical and Motion Trees – quite a few of our tabletop trees feature music and/or motion, playing the sounds of the Christmas season while trains go around the base, or a tree topper circles with a heartwarming scene, or the entire tree spins around.
5. Character Trees – what if your tree is a way to bring your love for favorite films, TV shows and pop culture icons into the holiday? Pretty neat, right? We offer tabletop trees with beloved characters, captured on ornaments and sculptures.
To help make your shopping a little easier, we put together a list of some amazing tabletop trees available this holiday season. Please enjoy The 8 Best Tabletop Christmas Trees for 2023:
Thomas Kinkade Wonderland Express Christmas Tree
A Market First! Join Santa and his sleigh of reindeer as they make their way around the top of this masterpiece tabletop tree inspired by the artwork of Thomas Kinkade. Showcasing 4 levels of rotating movement, 12 brilliantly lit buildings and over 2 dozen intricate hand-painted figures, it is sure to elicit a sense of nostalgia in your home. Plus, it plays a medley of 8 beloved Christmas carols to complement all the festive animation.
My Spirit Will Live on Tabletop Tree
Another beautiful thing about cardinals is the message they bring, long considered heralds from above and reminders that loved ones are still near. This handcrafted tabletop tree brings the cardinal vision of acclaimed artist James Hautman to life in two ways. A fully sculpted cardinal graces the realistic branches of snowy pine, while Mr. Hautman’s artwork is recreated on the beautiful base, along with an inspiring sentiment. Plus, the tree illuminates with long-lasting LED lights controlled by a 24-hour timer.
The Wonderful World of Disney Christmas Tree
If you love Disney, this is the tabletop tree for you! Over 75 hand-painted characters are featured in 10 festive scenes across 4 different levels, glowing with 20 LED lights. And with the flick of a switch, each tier animates with lively rotation, all to the soundtrack of a medley of classic Christmas carols. And at the very top, Disney’s Mickey Mouse leads a Pluto-and-reindeer drawn sleigh around Cinderella’s magic castle. You won’t be able to take your eyes off it.
