These 10 Celebrity Christmas Trees Cost More Than a Car
When it comes to the holidays, some celebrities are known for their show-stopping Christmas trees that leave us feeling extra poor. And by that, we mean towering evergreens that push the boundaries of traditional decor. From enormous trees that cost more than your average home to whimsical and lavish themes, here are 10 of the craziest celebrity Christmas trees from seasons past.
1. Kim Kardashian’s Winter Wonderland
In 2023, Kim Kardashian decked out her $60 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California, with a whimsical winter wonderland, featuring a hallway lined with over a dozen snow-covered fir trees. Though the minimalist yet lavish setup complemented her home’s neutral aesthetic, some fans were left wondering whether she let her kids take part in the decorations.
2. Kris Jenner’s Peppermint Forest
Keeping it in the family, the Kardashian matriarch is also known for her extravagant holiday decorations. In 2015, she showcased a 20-foot peppermint-themed Christmas tree in her California home, which was flanked by two 15-foot trees and adorned with red and white ornaments. The main tree was then topped with giant peppermint swirls.
It was estimated that the centerpiece tree alone cost around $15,000, while the entire display ran up a tab of $157,000.
3. Kourtney Kardashian’s Red Tree Forest
The eldest Kardashian opted for a bold statement in 2022 by lining her Calabasas home with a series of vibrant red Christmas trees. Though the monochromatic design did look striking and added a dramatic flair to her holiday decor, some fans clapped back with criticisms, calling the display overly-simplistic and lacking the warmth of more traditional holiday decorations.
4. Kylie Jenner’s Towering Evergreen
The youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan impressed fans with a massive two-story Christmas tree in her $16 million Los Angeles mega-mansion. Adorned with numerous lights and ornaments, the sheer size and grandeur of the tree left fans in awe and disbelief, with many pointing out Kylie’s penchant for making bold and expensive statements. (Case in point: this $280,000 customized Lambo she bought ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Travis Scott.)
5. Paris Hilton’s Feathered Fantasy
In 2023, Paris Hilton celebrated her first Christmas after welcoming daughter London with a massive tree adorned with white feathers, candy, and glittering lights set up in the living room. But that wasn’t all — the longtime socialite and heiress to the Hilton hotel legacy went all out with tons of gifts, a matching pink Christmas tree, and balloons to spell out her daughter’s name.
6. Jessica Simpson’s Two-Story Showstopper
Simpson’s 2023 Christmas tree was a two-story spectacle covered in shiny hues of silver, gold, blue, and green decorations. The tree was so densely covered that the branches were almost completely hidden beneath all the ornaments.
7. Mariah Carey’s Festive Extravaganza
In 2023, the “Queen of Christmas” herself unveiled multiple lavish Christmas trees adorned with gold ornaments, twinkling lights, and butterflies. The trees were part of her holiday setup that includes trees in every room, life-sized nutcrackers, and a gingerbread village. Carey’s living room was also decked out in a sea of gifts, stockings, and a large wreath with her initials.
“I wait for it all year long,” Carey told Elle Decor Magazine in 2023. “Like, I’m telling you…it’s my favorite time of year.”
8. Kim Kardashian’s Towering Christmas Tree
Yes, Kim K made the list a second time. Not to be outdone by the fam, in 2024 Kim Kardashian unveiled a massive flocked faux fir Christmas tree in her California home. Known for her extravagant holiday displays, this towering tree that cost over $1 million was no exception. According to an expert who works as a party planner for celebrities, the whole setup likely cost Kardashian about $1.3 million. The sculptures cost around $10,000 a pop. (Oof. Good thing she’s got that law degree now to help pay for these expenses.)
9. Amanda Holden’s Luxurious Christmas Display
In 2024, “Britain’s Got Talent” judge Amanda Holden transformed her £7 million mansion in Surrey, England, into a festive wonderland. Showcasing a massive Christmas tree adorned with elegant decorations, the tree was complemented by a grand piano.
Holden also flaunted her posh living room featuring a full bar complete with plushy chairs, a grey velvet sofa, and numerous expensive-looking artwork.
10. Arthur Gourounlian’s ‘Tacky’ Wonderland
“Dancing with the Stars” judge Arthur Gourounlian pulled out all the stops to transform his Dublin home into a festive spectacle with an extravagantly “tacky” candy-cane theme in 2024. Celebrating his first Christmas as a family of four with partner Brian Dowling, Arthur adorned the home’s exterior with massive wreaths and tinsel candy canes. The inside of the home featured an “old-school” Christmas tree, complete with twinkling fairy lights and other sentimental ornaments.
