Decorating a tree for Christmas is a beloved tradition, but why stop there? If you love keeping your tree up year-round and giving it fresh themes for different holidays, a St. Patrick’s Day tree is a fantastic way to celebrate the luck and charm of the Irish!
One of the best things about a St. Patrick’s Day tree is that it seamlessly transitions into other seasonal themes! Once March 17th has passed, you can easily swap out the decorations for Easter or a flowery spring & summer tree.
Having a dedicated tree for year-round decor allows you to keep celebrating without the hassle of setting up and taking down a new tree every Christmas.

Start with a Solid Foundation: Your Tree Lights
Lighting up the Irish magic is easy when you mix in green or gold string lights to complement a pre-lit tree. If your tree already has warm white or clear lights, you can simply weave in solid color LED strands to create a glowing Irish ambiance.
For a bit of drama, consider adding both green and gold lights for a stunning, layered effect. We love ChristmasLightsEtc for our trees because they are log-lasting commercial grade lights. You can also find a wide variety of solid-color lights at lower prices on Amazon.
Decorating with St. Patrick’s Day Ornaments
Holidays Lane offers a beautiful selection of handcrafted St. Patrick’s Day ornaments, perfect for adorning your festive tree. Whether you prefer traditional designs, lucky clovers, or sparkling green sequins, there’s something to match every St. Paddy’s aesthetic.
Featuring hand-placed sparkling sequins and gold accents, these ornaments are perfect for trees, garlands, or tiered trays. Whether you’re decorating for a party or simply adding charm to your home, these ornaments will bring the spirit of the holiday to life.
Reusing Green & Gold Solid Ornaments
One of the best things about having a year-round tree is reusing ornaments from previous holidays! Those green and gold solid sequin ornaments that looked dazzling on your Christmas tree can easily transition into your St. Patrick’s Day theme.
The rich emerald greens and shimmering gold hues reflect the colors of the Irish flag and the legendary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
For a balanced look, spread your solid color ornaments evenly throughout the tree, mixing them with your St. Patrick’s Day-themed pieces. You can also add white or silver accents to create contrast and brighten up the overall design.
Get Creative with St. Patrick’s Day Themed Accents
No tree is complete without a stunning topper, and your St. Patrick’s Day tree is no exception! Some creative ideas include:
- A Giant Glittery Shamrock – A bold, oversized clover is a fun and festive way to highlight the top of your tree.
- Leprechaun Hat Tree Topper – A small, stylish top hat gives your tree a playful personality.
- A Bow in Green & Gold – For a more elegant look, a large, decorative bow in St. Paddy’s colors can be a simple yet striking finishing touch.
Tree Skirts and Base Decorations
The base of your tree deserves some attention, too! Swap out your Christmas tree skirt for one in rich green velvet, shimmering gold sequins, or a Celtic-inspired pattern. If you don’t have a tree skirt in the right colors, consider using a green tablecloth or gold fabric draped artfully around the base.
For added festive fun, scatter gold coins, small gift boxes, or plush leprechauns at the bottom of the tree. A miniature “pot of gold” filled with gold-wrapped chocolates makes for a fun and interactive display (and a sweet treat for guests!).
