Michaels Is Bringing Back This 70-Year-Old Holiday Find (It’s Only $15!)
For many families out there, it isn’t Christmas until you set up and plug in your heirloom ceramic Christmas tree. These adorable tabletop displays came into fashion in the 1960s and have held strong ever since. You can easily find modern replicas and variations of the vintage version at pretty much any major online retailer. This year, Michaels has its own version of the classic ceramic tree, but with a modern twist. It’s chic, it’s simple, and it’s only $15.
This 13-inch-tall ceramic tree from Make Market is similar to the ones you might have seen at your grandparents’ house — it’s ceramic and lights up. But it’s different because this one is sleek and pure white — and the finish is actually matte so you can actually decorate it yourself. Paint it, add glitter, or even foil it with gold leaf to make it totally unique.
And when it’s time to celebrate, install the included three batteries and turn it on to let the warm white LED bulbs shine through the holes in each bough. The effect is kind of like a disco ball. You can also purchase bulbs for the holes to make it more similar to those vintage trees you know and love.
No matter how you decorate it (if you decide to decorate it at all) this tree is going to become your new favorite Christmas decoration.
“It’s beautiful,” one Michaels reviewer wrote. “I’m obsessed with these trees. Super stoked I got to take one home with me to decorate with my daughter!”
“Perfect for making your seasonal ceramic tree,” another person added. “Recommend using acrylic paint and add a clear glossy finish spray layer.”
These trees are available in Michaels stores for pickup only, so check the Michaels website to see if your store has them in stock. And if you’d rather get something that feels a bit more like the OG, Michaels has one of those, too (and for just $40).
Bring some vintage vibes to your Christmas decor collection with either of these ceramic trees from Michaels, and get ready to feel all nostalgia, all season long!
