ALDI’s $17 Rattan Christmas Tree Collar Is the Prettiest Finishing Touch for Your Holiday Tree – It Looks Far More Expensive

When decorating a Christmas tree, it's easy to focus on the ornaments, lights, and finishing touches, but what sits beneath the branches deserves a little consideration, too. A tree stand isn't exactly the prettiest part of a holiday display, and a well-chosen tree collar is a lovely way to conceal it while making the whole arrangement feel more considered.

I've recently bought a Rattan Christmas Tree Collar from Amazon, and it's made me appreciate just how much this simple addition can elevate the finished look. So, when I spotted ALDI's new collection, I was immediately drawn to it.

The retailer's Merry Moments collection includes tree collars in rattan, seagrass, and water hyacinth, each bringing a different natural texture to the base of the tree. My favorite is the Rattan Scallop Tree Collar, priced at just $16.99. Its gently curved edge gives a fresh take on the traditional Christmas tree skirt, adding a decorative detail that feels both current and timeless.

Scalloped edges have been appearing across interiors, from lampshades and upholstery to decorative accessories and tableware. There's something about the soft, undulating shape that makes even the simplest pieces feel a little more special. Here, it gives the natural rattan a softer, more decorative finish, without making the tree feel overly dressed.

I particularly like the use of woven materials for Christmas decorating. Rattan, seagrass, and water hyacinth bring warmth and texture to a room, which can be especially welcome when introducing seasonal decorations. They work beautifully alongside natural foliage, wooden accents, linen ribbons, and softer metallic finishes, making them a good fit for everything from a traditional Christmas scheme to a more relaxed, neutral palette.

A tree collar also helps to give the Christmas tree a stronger visual foundation. Rather than leaving the stand exposed or relying on a fabric skirt to cover it, a structured collar creates a neat, defined base that makes the tree feel more like a finished part of the room. It also provides a little extra opportunity to introduce texture and natural materials into your holiday decorating, particularly if the rest of your scheme is quite simple.

If scallops aren't quite your style, ALDI has two other designs in the collection. The Seagrass Star Tree Collar features a decorative woven star pattern, while the Water Hyacinth Tree Collar offers a more understated natural finish. All three have their own appeal, but the scalloped rattan design is the one I'd choose. It brings just enough detail to make the tree stand out, without competing with the decorations above it.

At $16.99, these are an affordable way to give your Christmas tree a more polished finish. And if, like me, you enjoy bringing natural materials and thoughtful details into your holiday decorating, ALDI's latest collection is well worth a look.
