Fluffy Pampas Grass Christmas Trees Are This Year's Unexpected Holiday Trend

Are traditional Christmas trees just not your vibe? Are you looking to make Christmas a bit more boho-inspired? Then you're in luck.

Pampas grass is a new, fun alternative to regular Christmas trees. A little bit boho and a lot glam, the newest trend for holiday decor is the perfect solution for homes that want something a little extra for Christmas.

I bet you weren't expecting this.

Is this not the lushest tree you've ever seen? This is a full pampas grass Christmas tree, complete with all the fluffiness you could ask for. This is a monochromatic lover's dream.

They were all the rage for Winter 2020, and they're back again this year.

It definitely feels like pampas grass had an even bigger year this year than in 2020! People paired them with dried palm leaves, pretty lights, and minimal ornaments to keep the focus on the texture of the grass.

Some people are accenting their existing trees with some pampas grass.

If you're not ready to totally change your tree, then why not add some pampas to your existing one? It still gives that boho effect while also screaming "stylish Christmas."

Others make them the topper!

If you're one of those people that can't resist an ornament-laden tree, opt to use the pampas grass as a tree topper. You can also sprinkle some through the traditional tree's branches to tie it all together!

It's not just DIYers going for pampas trees, either.

Big retailers decided to hop on the trend for 2021! This trio of colorful pampas trees comes courtesy of Urban Outfitters. Made of dried pampas grass, each tree stands 16.5in high. Grab one here.

Etsy sellers have the market cornered on them, however.

Why go to a big business when you can shop small? Etsy sellers have real, authentic pampas grass trees available for purchase, hand dried and assembled with love! You can grab this one here.

You can even use them as place setting decor.

How cute would these be for Christmas dinner, or for a winter wedding? These super fluffy trees are available in a set of 4, and would make for an amazing place setting — or even just mantle decor! Shop them here.

Why keep it black and white, though?

Sure, white is a classic Christmas color, but it's not the vibe for everyone. Why not go for an ombré effect pampas grass tree instead? Go on, have some fun with your decor!

So, what do you think?

Are pampas trees something you would try out, or is it not traditional enough for you? I would use the small trees as decor — best of both worlds!
