It’s not Christmas without Santa so obviously we need to include that in our tiered trays. You can use Santa figurines or Santa mugs and add a few red and white garlands, wooden trees, and faux leaves to complete the look.
17. decorate it with leaves and pines
Greenery is one of my favorite ways to add a touch of nature and brighten up the space. Include faux pine stems and pine cones along with some wooden figurines. Place everything neatly on the tray and top it off with some faux cranberries.

This is another gorgeous Christmas-tiered tray idea that you can easily recreate. Include wooden decor items, and pine cones (store-bought or the ones in front of your house), and finish the look with some pops of red with cranberries and a little birdie.
19. mugs & candy cane
Candy canes are THE treat for Christmas. They have the classic white and red Christmas colors on them and they also smell incredible. Incorporate some wooden decorations and Christmas-themed Rae Dunn to complete the tray.
20. Santa with snow potion
I love absolutely everything about this tray. The great thing about tiered trays is that you can be as creative as you want and go all out. You can add a Santa figurine, a succulent, cute Christmas decorations like a gingerbread man, and ornaments to top it off.
21. adorable tired tray idea
How cute is this tiered tray idea? I love the slightly larger space in between the trays for adding taller decorations. Add some beautiful Rae Dunn and a few Santa figurines and mugs for the perfect and festive tiered tray.
22. marshmallows & frosting
Marshmallows are literally the perfect topping for a nice cup of hot chocolate (which I for one will be drinking lots of this winter). So, it only makes sense to add some on your tiered trays along with beaded garlands.
23. mugs full of mocha & latte
I’m more of a macchiato girly but I enjoy a cup of hot latte every now and then too. You can buy some Rae Dunn and dishes with the words already engraved on them. Make sure to include some other decorations as well.
24. reindeer & stars
If you want to recreate something truly magical, then stars are the way to do it. Just buy some wooden stars from Amazon varying in sizes and colors, then add them to the tray with a few of your favorite Christmas decor.
25. guarded by christmas gnomes
This is truly incredible! I am in love with this tiered tray idea and will for sure be recreating it myself. If you love hot cocoa, especially during the colder months, then you need to recreate this idea. Buy jars and Rae Dunn with the words engraved and simply transfer the contents of the hot cocoa mix and toppings into the jars to create a hot cocoa bar.
26. christmas tree & candy cane
One super simple way to decorate your tiered tray is by simply placing a bundle of candy canes in red mugs. You can create multiple of these and the great thing about them is they are insanely cheap and easy.
27. bird-themed tiered tray idea
If you love birds and want to incorporate them into your decor, this is a great option. Buy a few red bird figurines, bird paintings/ wooden decor, and of course, some red ornaments to top everything off. Arrange them how you’d like and that’s it!
28. Santa stop here
I am loving the colorful little banner here. It adds so much to the appearance of the tray and is also very easy to recreate. You’ll just need some paper, scissors, markers, string, and of course, a hot glue gun to secure the letters in place.
29. he’s making a list
If you’re looking for insanely easy Christmas tiered tray ideas to recreate, then simply buy a sign that says “he’s making a list”. You can get these from Amazon and you can also include some other decorations like beaded garlands and faux stems.
30. Santas helper
This one is for all the minimalist girlies who want to show a little festive spirit but don’t want to go overboard with the decorations. Just place a few Rae Dunn mugs and a snowman figurine along with a mini Christmas tree to finish it off.
31. Santa & North Pole
We all know Santa is from the North Pole but getting a cute sign that states so won’t hurt. You can probably get the sign on Etsy for a low price. Combine it with a few other decorations with pops of red here and there to complete the look.
32. ho ho ho
Here is another insanely beautiful Christmas-tiered tray decor idea with lots of greenery. I said it already but faux greenery and plants are great ways to brighten up your space. If you go into a dark room and see pops of green, in my opinion, that room will look a lot better.
33. dates & pillow
Get a larger-than-average tiered tray from Amazon or Target and place all of your cute decorations there. You can also include mini pillows, faux pine cones, cranberries, and of course, you have to add the beaded garland for the finishing touch.
34. Meet Me under the Mistletoe
If you like to keep things simple and minimal, then this is the one for you! Buy some red Rae Dunn that are Christmas-themed. Also, buy some gorgeous and festive Christmas wooden signs to pair with the Rae Dunn. Add a beaded garland for the final touch.
35. the magical christmas tree
It’s not Christmas without the Christmas tree. This is exactly why adding mini trees to your tiered tray is such a good idea. You can buy these in packs on Amazon for less than 20 bucks. That sounds pretty great to me. Pair it with some Christmas-themed bowls and Rae Dunn and prepare for compliments.
36. Santa’s happy place
This one is definitely on my top 3 list of favorites! Just buy a bunch of mini trees and Santa figurines to recreate this tiered tray idea. Add some red cranberries and wooden decorations to complete the look.
37. reindeer playing with snow
I love the look of the fake snow on this one. It’s super easy to recreate and you can buy it off Amazon for a really low price. Combine it with some mini trees, wooden figurines, and some glittery snowflakes for the final touch.
38. Very Merry Christmas
Plaid for Christmas is a great idea. You can use red and white, green and white, green and red, or another color entirely. They pair nicely with both red and green decorations. Add in some faux greenery to finish it off.
39. mrs and Misse Claus
We always see Mr. Claus everywhere but not nearly enough of Mrs. Claus. Make sure to include her in this year’s decorations alongside Mr. Claus as well. Add in some other Christmas figurines to complete the perfect tiered tray.
