Looking for large vase christmas decor ideas that go beyond a few evergreen stems? Think red berries, long ribbon bows and branches covered in little lights.
These arrangements give you plenty to try, with a few pots and a low centerpiece included alongside the tall vases.
You can keep things simple or go all out with ornaments and sparkle. I especially love the red bows against the greenery.
Start with a container you already have, then pick the details you’d like to add.
Christmas Vase Arrangements Worth Saving
white berries and pinecones
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous white vase and its wide spray of greenery. I love the tiny pinecones scattered along the branches.
Those white berries look so pretty against the dark stems.
Try little white tree decorations beside your vase to follow the display below.
red and silver baubles
How cute is this red and silver combination? The clear footed vase shows off shiny and glittery baubles, with a brown tube still visible in the middle.
For a finished version of your own, you could hide the tube below another layer of ornaments. Keep both finishes if you like that extra sparkle.
red berries on a black console
If you are looking for a classic Christmas color combination, this one is for you. Red berry stems rise above spreading greenery in a tall white vase.
I love how the branches reach out past both sides of the container. Give yours a little room on the console rather than squeezing it between other decorations.
glossy leaves and golden-brown backs
Don’t want to add baubles or bows? No problem!
This leafy arrangement keeps things simple with glossy green leaves and golden-brown undersides.
The rounded clear vase lets the stems show through. Try this as a quieter holiday arrangement beside your drinks tray.
little stars and glowing branches
I am obsessed with these tiny hanging stars. They’re so sweet among the bare branches and little lights.
The narrow-necked clear vase leaves most of the display up above. Keep your ornaments small if you want to follow this airy look.
a vase full of red berries
This berry arrangement may just be one of my favorites here. There’s no extra greenery, just bright red berries spreading out from a patterned clear vase.
The round woven mat is a lovely detail underneath. You don’t need much else on the table with a display this full.
peppermint stripes and a red flower
How adorable is this peppermint-filled vase? The red-and-white striped pieces are just as much a part of the display as the greenery above.
I love the oversized red flower with its sparkling gold-colored edges. Keep it near the rim if you want to copy the way it sits between the striped filler and the branches.
gold mosaic and twisting branches
If you are looking for something with lots of shine, then this one is for you. The rounded mosaic vase sits beneath twisting dark branches, white berry-like accents and little gold-colored leaves.
Those tall dark spikes make this one a little different from the usual evergreen arrangement. I’d leave the surrounding tabletop simple.
an overflowing porch urn
Take the Christmas greenery outside with this overflowing urn. The long branches spill over the edges while red berries and large pinecones sit closer to the middle.
My favorite part is the curly bare stems reaching up above everything else. Try a similar arrangement beside your steps, keeping the walking space clear.
white-tipped cones and hanging bells
This is such a pretty way to dress up a plain white vase. White-tipped pinecones rise through the greenery, with gold-colored bells hanging down the front.
If you want to try one detail from this arrangement, make it the bells. Drape a similar cluster around the neck of your vase rather than adding more ornaments to the branches.
red blooms and a trailing bow
I am in love with these deep red flowers. The open blooms and taller buds look gorgeous in the round pale vase.
A red ribbon ties everything together without covering up the flowers. Leave the tails long if you want that same trailing detail.
pinecones in a low oval tub
Want something lower for your table? This one swaps the tall vase for a shallow oval tub filled with greenery and oversized pinecones.
It’s a centerpiece alternative rather than a large vase arrangement. I love the weathered boards underneath, especially with the branches stretching past the ends.
striped ornaments and pom-pom branches
How cute are these little red and white pom-poms? They dot the bare branches above a clear vase packed with matching ornaments.
The striped baubles are my favorite part of the mix. Include a few among plain red, white and silver ones if you want to recreate this playful look.
cream vase and snowy white accents
If you’re looking for a Christmas arrangement without bright red, go with this cream vase and its full spread of greenery. The round white accents and pale leaves give you plenty of detail without adding lots of colors.

champagne sparkle and a little reindeer
This is one of my favorite sparkly arrangements on the list. I love the oversized swirl ornament beside the pale feathery sprays and frosted-looking pinecones.
The reflective vase has plenty of shine of its own. Add a little gold-colored reindeer beside yours if you want to follow the whole display.
a Christmas tree in a rounded pot
Here’s another container idea that goes beyond a vase. This full Christmas tree sits in a large brown pot, with little lights scattered through the branches.
I love that there aren’t any ornaments competing with the pot below. If you try this, use a properly secured tree stand inside a suitably sized container.
matching burgundy bows
This entryway arrangement is so pretty. The tall gray vase holds greenery and red berries, with a burgundy bow hanging down the front.
A matching bow on the mirror makes the whole display feel connected. Try repeating your ribbon on one nearby decoration rather than adding more to the vase.
long ribbons on loose greenery
Don’t want to pack your vase full? No problem there!
These loose green branches leave plenty of space for little red bows and their extra-long tails.
I especially love the dark handled vase underneath. Some ribbons reach all the way down to the surface, so keep those long ends if you’re recreating this look.
a cream crock with festive greenery
This large cream crock is another pretty alternative to a vase. Red berries and pinecones peek through the dense greenery, with pale candle shapes tucked into the arrangement.

For your own version, choose flameless candles rather than putting an open flame among the branches. The little touches of red are worth keeping too.
silver baubles and lighted white branches
Last but definitely not least, we have this sparkling floor vase. I am obsessed with the white branches and tiny lights!
Silver and white ornaments fill the clear cylinder below.
Don’t miss the little white bird near the rim. It’s such a cute finishing detail among all that shine.
