These ’90s-inspired Christmas tree decorations are cozy and nostalgic.
With all the Christmas celebrations, time spent with family and memories made setting up decor, we always get hit by a wave of nostalgia. Having grown up in the late ‘90s-early 2000s, we experienced such special holiday seasons filled with colorful Christmas tree lights, diy holiday parties that parents helped come together and cozy memories of playing with toys.
Christmas seemed so much simpler, and that’s why we love being reminded of the nostalgia that comes with this season. While we admire all the new modern Christmas decorations that are released every year, there’s just nothing like a Christmas tree filled with sentimental decor.
It’s comforting and creates the coziest aesthetic in your home. Today, we’re sharing the best ’90’s inspired Christmas tree decorations that you can adorn your tree with this year.
Cue all the nostalgic vibes and happy decorating!

‘90s-Inspired Christmas Tree Decorations
1. Warm or Colorful Lighting
When we think of the Christmas trees from our childhood, we often remember soft, warm light glowing from the tree in the living room. On the small trees in our dining room and bedrooms we had lights that would be wrapped in colorful lights.

2. Red and Green Ornaments
Before neutral and moody Christmas decor took over the home decor sphere, everyone decorated their tree in the quintessential Christmas colors — red and green. There’s nothing better than the classic Christmas aesthetic during the holidays.

4. Tinsel
Tinsel has been around for decades, but has recently made a resurgence in recent years because of it’s gorgeous nostalgic and whimsical appeal. When the lights come on and hit the tinsel, your living room instantly creates a magical glow.

5. A Cozy Tree Skirt
Tree skirts add another dimension of decoration to the Christmas tree. Plus, they help hide the tree stand below. If you’re looking for tree skirts to match the ‘90s-inspired aesthetic you’re trying to achieve look for tree skirts made of ruffles and velvet or ones that have simple holiday designs.

6. Garland or Ribbon
Whether you choose to decorate with garland or ribbon, it’s totally up to you. We love adding cute garland that reminds us of our childhood — like fun popcorn garland or wooden beaded garland.
Our mom has always rapped the same golden ribbon around our tree for the past 25 years and we wouldn’t decorate it any other way.

7. Gold Tree Topper
Last, but certainly not least, is the tree topper. It’s the final piece of the Christmas tree that makes it complete. To go for that nostalgic look, look for a gold tree topper. We think that one in the shape of a star is such a classic choice.
