Top 7 Iconic Christmas Flowers, Plants & Trees
Updated 2026 · Edited by Florona Team
December is the season of warmth, tradition, and quiet magic — and nothing brings the holiday spirit to life quite like Christmas florals and greenery. Over time, certain flowers, plants, and trees have become inseparable from the feeling of Christmas itself.
From bold poinsettias to timeless evergreen trees, these iconic Christmas botanicals define the season. Thoughtfully styled artificial versions allow you to enjoy their beauty year after year — no wilting, no mess, just faux-everlasting holiday charm.
Below are Florona’s Top 7 Iconic Christmas Flowers, Plants & Trees, curated for timeless seasonal décor.
1. Poinsettia — The Ultimate Christmas Icon
Perhaps the most recognizable Christmas flower of all, the poinsettia instantly signals the arrival of the holidays. Originating in Mexico and once used by the Aztecs as a dye plant, poinsettias today symbolize celebration and warmth.
Artificial poinsettias work beautifully as:
-
Front-door accents
-
Table centerpieces
-
Holiday planters & entry décor
Classic red remains a favorite, but white and soft blush tones feel especially elegant for modern interiors.
2. Christmas Rose (Winter Rose) — Soft & Symbolic
Known as the “winter rose,” Christmas roses bloom during colder months and symbolize love, friendship, and quiet beauty. Traditionally exchanged during winter celebrations, roses add romance and refinement to Christmas décor.
Style them as:
-
Long-stem arrangements
-
Mantel garlands
-
Mixed winter bouquets
White roses are especially fitting for a winter-wonderland aesthetic.
3. Amaryllis — Elegant & Dramatic
Tall, sculptural, and refined, amaryllis flowers bring instant drama to holiday styling. Red amaryllis is a Christmas favorite, while white amaryllis offers a softer, more contemporary feel.
Perfect for:
-
Statement centerpieces
-
Entryway arrangements
-
Holiday tablescapes
Artificial amaryllis delivers the same elegance — without the fragile bulbs.
4. Phalaenopsis Orchid — Modern Winter Beauty
Sleek and modern, orchids add a refined touch to Christmas interiors. While red orchids feel festive, white Phalaenopsis orchids evoke snow-kissed elegance and calm sophistication.
Ideal for:
-
Minimalist holiday décor
-
Office or reception styling
-
Contemporary winter interiors
Their graceful form transitions beautifully beyond the holidays.
5. Rosemary Trees & Spirals — Symbolic & Inviting
Rosemary has become a modern Christmas favorite, rooted in legend and symbolism. Historically associated with good luck and remembrance, rosemary trees are often shaped into festive spirals.
They’re perfect for:
-
Front-door symmetry
-
Entryway accents
-
Lighted outdoor décor
Artificial rosemary trees provide structure, fragrance-inspired charm, and seasonal meaning.
6. Holly — Classic & Timeless
With glossy green leaves and vibrant red berries, holly is one of the most traditional Christmas plants. Dating back to ancient Druids who believed it symbolized everlasting life, holly remains a holiday essential.
Use artificial holly for:
-
Wreaths & garlands
-
Gift wrapping accents
-
Seasonal arrangements
Its bold contrast instantly feels festive.
7. Christmas Trees — The Heart of the Season
No Christmas is complete without a tree. Artificial Christmas trees have become increasingly popular for their longevity, versatility, and evolving styles.
Available in countless varieties — pine, spruce, fir, flocked, minimal, or ornate — artificial trees allow endless creativity while becoming a beloved part of yearly traditions.
A Season That Lasts Faux-Ever
Christmas décor is about more than aesthetics — it’s about atmosphere, memory, and meaning. Artificial Christmas flowers, plants, and trees let you celebrate the season fully while creating traditions that return year after year.
