When it comes to holiday décor in the workplace, the corporate Christmas tree remains a centerpiece for many offices, lobbies, and hospitality spaces. It sets the tone for the season, welcomes guests and employees alike, and brings warmth into a professional environment. But just like interior design and fashion, holiday decorating follows trends—and staying current ensures that your corporate holiday display feels fresh, inviting, and on brand.
At Planterra, our holiday catalog showcases curated styles that reflect these evolving tastes, blending timeless elegance with innovative twists. Here are some of the most notable corporate Christmas tree decorating trends we’re seeing this year:
Traditional Christmas tree with matching urn
- Classic Luxury with Modern Twists
Traditional corporate Christmas trees remain popular, especially when professionally styled in elegant palettes. At Planterra we’ve mastered the traditional Christmas tree for a corporate setting by establishing a pre-decorated base called our Classic Series and we offer color enhancements that can be added to the tree to reflect company colors. This offers a pop of color that can complement a branded sign or color that represents the company.
- Natural & Winter-Inspired Themes

You don’t need to lean heavily into the “Christmas” aesthetic to achieve seasonal cheer. A growing number of clients opt for winter-themed trees—decorated in icy silvers, snowy whites, frosted branches, and woodland accents. These designs feel inclusive and non-denominational, creating a cozy, seasonal mood without being overtly tied to one tradition. The result is a corporate Christmas tree that feels both inviting and universally appealing.
- Beyond the Tree: Holiday Urns & Alternative Décor

An increasingly modern approach is forgoing the Christmas tree altogether and replacing it with holiday design urns filled with festive decorations. At Planterra, we offer urns styled in the same matching themes as our corporate Christmas trees—whether that’s a winter wonderland look, a modern metallic scheme, or a rich, traditional palette. These urns are especially popular in spaces with limited square footage, providing a festive impact without the footprint of a full tree.
- Warm & Inviting, Yet Respectful of Diversity

Corporate holiday décor must walk a delicate balance: it should be warm and welcoming, but also respectful of cultural and religious diversity. While some companies prefer to display menorahs or Kwanzaa decorations alongside their corporate Christmas tree, many choose a natural winterscape as a tasteful default. Incorporating birch branches, frosted pinecones, and seasonal greenery is an elegant way to celebrate the season without recognizing any particular religious or cultural tradition.
- Coordinated Looks Across Multiple Locations

For companies with multiple offices, hotels, or retail spaces, maintaining consistency across all locations is a key trend. Planterra’s holiday catalog styles allow businesses to select a theme and have holiday replicated across branches nationwide. This creates a polished brand image while still infusing each location with holiday spirit.
The Takeaway
Whether your business favors a dazzling corporate Christmas tree, a chic winter design, or modern urn arrangements, the trend is clear: companies are looking for décor that is stylish, inclusive, and reflective of their brand. A well-chosen holiday display creates a sense of celebration, strengthens community, and leaves a lasting impression on employees and guests alike.
This season, embrace the trends that best fit your company culture—whether that’s the grandeur of a traditional tree, the elegance of a winter theme, or the innovative appeal of urn-based designs. With Planterra’s curated holiday catalog, you’ll find the perfect balance of festivity, professionalism, and timeless beauty.
