Green trees are certainly the most traditional and popular Christmas choice, yet we always favour a more unconventional tree colour. Whether it's icy blue or hot pink, a non-traditional-colored Christmas tree adds an unexpected splash of colour to a home's winter holiday decor.
Bethenny Frankel has embraced the latter shade in past winter seasons, famously declaring, 'It’s beginning to look a lot like bubble gum.....' when showcasing her hot pink tree (much like this one from Wayfair) a few years ago on her Instagram page.
This maximalist approach extends to the tree's trimmings, featuring pink string lights, glittery baubles, and cupcake-shaped ornaments.
The vibrant tree colour, paired with playful ornaments, results in a particularly joyous piece of Christmas decor. While pink usually demands careful colour-matching when incorporated into a room, in the context of a tree, it behaves almost like a neutral, successfully complementing a wide range of colourful ornaments and the surrounding space.
It's also perfect for brightening up any neutral area – for example, modern minimalist living rooms during the shorter winter days.

'Pink trees are very popular this holiday season; they represent a more youthful perspective on winter holiday design, a way to make a space feel more vibrant and energetic, rather than dark and snug. It seems almost like an attempt to counteract the cold winter days, keeping your home lively and exciting,' observes Scott Jones, a design expert from Fab Home Interiors.
'Pink trees also coordinate quite well with the traditional reds and greens associated with the holiday season– we're also not quite finished with the Barbiecore trend, which has dominated fashion and interior design over the past year.'
Nobody pulls off this look quite like Frankel. Her Christmas tree is one of the boldest we've ever seen, but if you're daring enough to replicate her style this festive season, we believe you won't regret it.
