In any holiday home, you'll find a well-dressed Christmas tree. Our idea of a winter wonderland? It's on a smaller scale with tabletop trees: A whole forest of these rainbow-hued pines, lacquered snow-white ceramic balsams, or fuzzy-to-the-touch firs can make the perfect addition to your holiday display. Designers have crafted them in all shapes and sizes, so they appeal to any style of holiday décor. Traditionalists will be charmed by handcrafted wooden ones in Old-World style and bottlebrush trees of nostalgia, while a sleek glass-blown spruce or milk glass conifer in a muted palette is something any modernist can appreciate. This year, they're coming in colors as far as the eye can see—lush evergreen, blush rose, candy-inspired pastels, and modern neutrals. Plus, with their handcrafted design, they have modern looks to spare.

Plant your trees next to a village of miniatures to create a magical scene or cluster them together on your fireplace mantel, buffet, or dining room table, and you'll have an enchanting woodland. And, of course, many people's style of tree varies from year to year, whether you're inspired by the nature outside your window or an heirloom tied to family memory. Adorn yours the way you would a Christmas tree of traditional size with ornaments and string lights. While most of them are delicate, others are built to withstand the winter elements in outdoors (meaning, they'll charm neighbors from the front porch). Here, we've rounded up some of our favorites, small as they may be, that are filled with big holiday spirit.
