Your artificial Christmas tree’s moment in the spotlight doesn’t have to end on December 26th. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to keep the glow alive, and with a few thoughtful touches, that once-merry Christmas tree becomes a romantic centerpiece for February. Whether you’re decorating for date night, adding charm to your entryway, or creating something fun for the whole family, a Valentine tree brings warmth and whimsy to the most romantic holiday.
Start with the Best Trees for Valentine’s Day Decorating
Flocked Trees
A flocked artificial Christmas tree is a beautiful base for Valentine décor. Pinks, reds, and metallics pop on its snowy texture for a dreamy “winter romance” aesthetic. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to invest in one, Valentine’s Day is the perfect nudge.
Warm white lighting works especially well here, casting a soft glow that feels cozy and romantic. If a snow-kissed, radiant tree sounds right for you, check out our 7.5 ft. artificial Christmas tree.

Don’t Forget the Wreaths
Your Valentine tree doesn’t need to stand alone; wreaths make perfect coordinating décor pieces. Add ribbons, hearts, florals, or a touch of shimmer to turn your Christmas wreaths into February showpieces. Here are a few hand-picked recommendations, and if you need help figuring out where to hang them, check out our blog post on wreath hanging ideas:
Valentine’s Day Ornaments & Accessories
Ribbons
Ribbon is one of the easiest ways to shift your tree from Christmas to Valentine’s Day. Tie smaller bows throughout the branches, or top the tree with an oversized romantic bow for a simple, sweet and cutesy look.
Pink, Red & White Ornaments
Round ornaments, metallic accents, or anything with sparkle will work beautifully. Gather what you have in the Valentine color palette and don’t be afraid to mix textures for depth.
Banners & Garlands
Whether you choose hearts, X’s and O’s, or something subtle and floral, a banner instantly reads “Valentine’s Day.” Hang one on the tree or above the entryway to create a cohesive visual theme.
Skirts or Base Styling
A tree’s base sets the tone. Swap your Christmas skirt for something soft and romantic — think blush faux fur, deep red velvet, or a simple white blanket for a cozy foundation. Add wrapped “Valentine gifts,” lanterns, or heart-shaped baskets for an extra-sweet vignette.
Incorporate Soft, Romantic Lighting
Good lighting is the ultimate mood-setter. Stick with warm white lights for a gentle glow, or weave in subtle heart-shaped string lights to create an inviting, shimmering ambiance. The Fraser Hill Farm Musical Valentine’s Day Lantern gives off a soft glow and is perfectly suited for a little holiday romance.
Tree Topper
Bring the whole look together with a themed tree topper. Glitter hearts, floral bundles, or beautifully layered ribbons are all great choices. A good topper makes the transformation from Christmas to Valentine’s Day feel complete.
Photos & Memory-Inspired Décor
Add small picture frames, polaroids, or sentimental trinkets and doodads to personalize your Valentine tree. Clip photos to twine and drape it like garland, or tuck memories between branches to give your special someone a sweet surprise when they step in close to admire your handiwork.
Happy Decorating
With just a handful of thoughtful touches, your Christmas tree becomes a Valentine’s Day showpiece that feels warm, personal, and delightfully unexpected. Whether you go bold with bright pinks or keep things soft and romantic, transforming your tree is an easy way to bring joy into the heart of winter and celebrate love in all its forms.
