Evergreen Tree with a Top Star

The standing Christmas tree rises with wide, layered branches that form a classic triangular silhouette. Positioned right at the peak, a large star ornament marks the top of the tree structure. The sturdy trunk below anchors the broad evergreen tiers.

Traditions of the Tree Star

Placing a star on top of an evergreen tree is a holiday custom dating back several centuries across European regions. Historically, top stars were crafted from straw, polished brass, or hand-blown glass before lightweight molded materials became common. Real evergreen trees used for winter celebrations retain their green needles even during freezing temperatures.

Colors of a Winter Tree

  • Tree branches and needles: deep forest green or pine green
  • Top star ornament: bright yellow, gold, or silver metallic finish
