Annual Christmas Tree figures

Royal Copenhagen Annual Christmas Tree since 2007

Royal Copenhagen has released the Annual Christmas Tree every year since 2007. Each edition features its own decoration with Christmas ornaments inspired by Danish Christmas traditions and the decorations many recognize from their own Christmas tree at home.

The series is designed by Sven Vestergaard, and over the years he has decorated the porcelain Christmas trees with woven hearts, flags, paper cones, angels, drums, stars, garlands, Christmas goats, and small gifts.

Danish Christmas traditions as tree decorations

It is especially the Christmas ornaments that distinguish the individual editions of Royal Copenhagen Annual Christmas Tree. The first Christmas tree from 2007 is decorated with candles, Danish flags, red bows, and small gifts, while the 2008 tree has red and white woven Christmas hearts.

In later editions, the decorations become more varied. Here you will find paper cones, drums, rocking horses, angels, stars, garlands, and Christmas goats – motifs that all have a natural place in the Danish Christmas.

Collect Royal Copenhagen Annual Christmas Tree year by year

The Annual Christmas Tree can stand alone as a Christmas decoration, but the series is also perfect for collecting. Some start with the current year's Christmas tree, while others look for a specific edition or try to complete the series back to the first tree from 2007.

A tree from a specific year can also mark a Christmas or an event you want to remember. When the figures are brought out again December after December, or perhaps even earlier, they become part of the Christmas decorations that follow the family through the years.

A complete Royal Copenhagen Christmas series

The Annual Christmas Tree can also be combined with Royal Copenhagen’s other annual Christmas figures. The Annual Santa has been part of the Christmas collection since 2001, and in 2021 he was joined by the Annual Santa's Wife.

The Christmas tree, Santa, and Santa's Wife can stand together as a complete Christmas display, where new figures are added year after year. You can choose the same edition across the series or combine different years to create your own Royal Copenhagen Christmas decoration.
