How to have a Travel Themed Christmas Tree 

Now before we go into the best travel Christmas ornaments we have found on the market, we want to show our travel themed Christmas tree and give you some tips on how to have a travel themed Christmas tree yourself!

Be Eclectic 

Now if you want a pristine Christmas tree with everything matching and coordinated then having a travel themed tree may not be for you. 

Personally I feel that whenever you pick a travel themed Christmas ornament it is nice to put some of the local culture or icons on display. 

For instance on our tree we have:

• a London bus
• an Amsterdam windmill (my favorite souvenir from Amsterdam). 
• A Mickey Mouse Ornament from Disneyland 
• a camel from Dubai.

Now these might not look like they go together they do make me smile every time I look at them. 

Use Memories

And it doesn’t have to be a Christmas ornament you bought. ON our first trip with our baby, when we took a Winter City break to Stockholm my little one worn Santa mittens which now have pride of place on the tree. 

The Best Travel Christmas Ornaments

So know you have some tips on how we have put together our travel themed tree, here are some of our favorite travel Christmas ornaments we have found. 

Globe Baubles

These beautifully crafted globe baubles catch the light and are the perfect adornment to any traveller’s Christmas tree! I really like the gold leaf and think it adds a beautiful festive touch!

However there are other baubles available with quotes and slogans on such as “Adventure Awaits”

City Themed Travel Christmas Ornaments

We have started collecting Christmas Ornaments when we travel but let’s be honest sometimes it is impossible to find the perfect souvenir especially a seasonal one! But don’t worry you can still get destination specific baubles when you get back home!

I love these London ornaments and as we have moved away from London this year these are ones I desperately want for on my Christmas tree!

But don’t worry there are plenty of other city ornaments available as well as London!
