How To Decorate an All-Black Raven Themed Christmas Tree

I have a few Christmas trees in a variety of colors, but my favorite is my Black Christmas Tree. You can decorate it so many different ways, and this year I wanted to go for an all-black design with a Black Raven themed Christmas Tree.

Follow this guide on how to decorate your own.

A raven-themed Christmas tree is spooky, elegant, and magical — perfect for anyone who loves dark, mysterious winter vibes! Here’s how to decorate your own step by step.


🎄 The Black Tree

Start with a black artificial Christmas tree. You can find them in shiny, matte, or glitter styles. Fluff out the branches so it looks full. The black color makes everything else — like lights and ornaments — really stand out. A tall, full tree looks dramatic and gothic!

🕯 The Lights

Use the multi-color LED lights is my personal choice, you can change the colors and it looks cool to have a variety. But you can also go with a solid color like blue, or purple… Wrap the lights from the bottom up, weaving them deep into the branches. Purple lights give it a mysterious mood, and amber ones look warm like candlelight. You can even add flickering LED candles for an extra spooky touch. There are tons of different lights available so go with whatever you vibe with.

Black Christmas tree lights are specific and are black so they don’t show up in the branches.

👻 The Black Ornaments

Decorate with shiny black, matte black, and glittery black ornaments like black snowflakes. Add Raven feathers, tiny skulls, or black roses also look amazing. Mix it up to make it more interesting.

🪶 The Black Raven Tree Topper

This is the most important part! Find a large, elegant black raven or crow to perch on top of your tree. You can buy one at a craft store or make one from feathers and wire. Position it so it looks like it’s watching over your gothic winter wonderland. You can even add a small Santa hat for a fun twist!

🖤 The Black Tree Skirt

Finish your look with a black velvet tree skirt. This covers the base and ties the whole theme together. You can decorate it with fake ravens, skull ornaments, or twinkling fairy lights around the edge. It keeps the dark theme stylish and cozy at the same time. These come in a variety of styles with designs and patterns on them or solid black.
