Christmas Tree Skirts & Collars 2026 – The Most Beautiful Ways To Dress Your Tree Base

Christmas tree skirts and collars are the finishing touch that takes your tree from lovely to spectacular — and yet they are always the last thing we think about.

Because here is the thing. You can have the most beautifully dressed tree in the world, but if the base is hiding a plastic stand and a tangle of cables, the whole look falls apart. A gorgeous skirt or collar fixes that in an instant, and the good news is there has never been a more beautiful selection to choose from.

From cosy velvet skirts and sleek wicker collars to playful novelty designs and luxurious faux fur — here are our favourite Christmas tree skirts and collars for 2026.

Decking your tree is pure magic—from twinkly baubles to crowning it with a star, fairy, or even a bow! But what about the bottom, where all you see is a green stand and a jungle of cables or sneaky fallen needles and those rogue, tangled cables?

Enter the Christmas tree skirt or collar that swoops in like a festive superhero. Slip one under your tree, and instantly it is tree-mendously tidy!

Last year saw Christmas tree skirts and collars being all the rage, and the trend is going nowhere fast! From John Lewis and Dunelm to Home Bargains, all are launching a plethora of choices.

So without further ado, we’ve brought our festive friends the top 7 Christmas tree skirts and collars, which you’ll want to use year after year, below.

Best Christmas Tree Skirts and Collars

Selfridges Edit Gold Glitter Christmas Tree Skirt, £45

⭐ Why We Love It: It is from Selfridges. It is covered in gold glitter. It catches the light like nothing else on this list. And when Christmas is over it folds away neatly and takes up barely any storage space at all — making it just as practical as it is glamorous. Enough said.

Pro tip: Make sure your skirt or collar is proportionate to the tree’s base. A skirt that’s too small can look awkward and won’t cover the stand, while one that’s too large can overwhelm the tree. Ideally, the diameter should be about 1.5 times the width of the tree trunk.

Very, Metal Christmas Tree Skirt with Diamond Embossed Design – Bronze, £35

⭐ Why We Love It: That diamond embossed pattern in deep burnished bronze is absolutely stunning — and the way it catches the light from your tree is something else entirely. This is the kind of tree base that makes people stop and look twice. Sleek, contemporary and genuinely show stopping.
