Like a cherry on top of a decadent ice cream sundae, a Christmas tree topper is the pièce de résistance that can really make the whole evergreen dazzle with festive zest. I grew up with the classic angel on top of the tree, but now that I have an apartment of my own to decorate, I'm in pursuit of a Christmas tree topper with a little more pizzazz.
Whether you have a floor-to-ceiling fir or a three-foot faux, a show-stopping piece at the top of your tree catches the eye, and though a seemingly small detail, can quickly become the main event. So, what are the charismatic Christmas tree toppers I'm looking for this year? Anything with color, texture, sparkles, and shock-factor.
