Bethenny Frankel pairs a pink tree with eclectic ornaments to create one of the bravest Christmas tree arrangements we've seen – its daring look is replicable
Frankel's 'pinkmas' tree is a maximalist dream – with bright lights, metallic baubles, and playful ornaments adorning the branches
Green trees may be the most popular and traditional Christmas tree option, but we are always partial to an unorthodox tree color choice. From icy blue to hot pink, a colored tree adds an unexpected pop to the home's holiday decor.
Bethenny Frankel has gone for the latter hue in the past, declaring, 'It’s beginning to look a lot like bubble gum.....' of her hot pink tree a few years prior, as seen on her Instagram page. The maximalist approach carries into the tree's accessories, which include pink string lights, glittery baubles, and cupcake-shaped ornaments.
The mix of playful ornaments and an undeniably lively tree color make for a joyous piece of Christmas decor. While pink typically requires some color coordination when being introduced to the home, in the case of a tree, it almost acts as a neutral, pairing perfectly with a variety of colorful ornaments as well as its surroundings. It is ideal for brightening up any neutral spaces, as well (think modern minimalist living rooms).

Perfect on pink
These beautiful opaque ornaments would be so gorgeous on a pink tree. I love their simple but beautiful design and the colors are so enchanting.
Frankel-inspired
This beautiful pink Christmas tree is a great dupe for Frankel's. With its blush-toned needles, this playful tree brings a touch of elegance and warmth to your festivities. In case you didn't already love it for its colorway, this tree comes with lights, so you don't need to worry about buying (and installing) more.
Glittery
Nothing says glamor like an oyster, and this beautiful glass ornament would be the perfect compliment to a pink tree. I love the glitter and the pearl detail.
Highly-rated
If you adore the 1990s aesthetic, then you'll love these multi-colored lights – best-sellers on Amazon. They add vibrancy and enliven any tree, whether its green, pink, or white.
Translucent design in solid color
Perfect for adding extra sparkle to a pink tree, these ornaments can be used to trim your tree, grouped together in decorative bowls, or displayed individually. Beyond the tree, we think they'll look great alongside some ribbon on some beautifully wrapped gifts.
Personal
We spotted a 'B' (inevitably for Bethenny) on the socialite's tree, but naturally, you should go with the letters that mean something to you and your loved ones. With its sophisticated gold detailing, the Aurelia Gold Monogram Ornament adds a personalized touch to your holiday décor.
Pink trees are quite popular this year; they symbolize a more youthful take on winter holiday design, a way of making a space feel more vibrant and energetic as opposed to dark and snug. It seems almost like a bid to offset the cold winter days, keeping your home alive and exciting,' comments Scott Jones, a design expert from Fab Home Interiors.
'Pink trees also tone quite well with the traditional reds and greens associated with the holiday season; we're also not quite over the Barbiecore trend, which has dominated fashion and interior design over the last year.' Nobody does this quite like Frankel. Her Christmas tree is one of the most daring we've ever seen, but if you're bold enough to replicate her look, we feel you won't regret it.
