Drew Barrymore uses white lights and red ornaments to create a 'warm and cozy' Christmas atmosphere that's endlessly classic
The actress's traditional Christmas tree combines classic accessories with charming ornaments – while white lights tie the accessible look together
Drew Barrymore radiates positive energy as a TV show host, so unsurprisingly, her affinity for brightness translates to her interiors. While we have gotten to know her style through her Walmart homeware line, Beautiful by Drew, the actor has also been known to share snaps of her home on her Instagram page.
We are getting some seasonal decor inspiration from one post in particular, which shows off her white and bright Christmas tree.
The traditional tree features white lights, red ornaments, and a gold star topper, all of which tap into the traditional Christmas decor aesthetic beautifully. It's a perfect example of a classically styled tree made personal by its accessories.

Realistic branches
This pre-lit tree offers an instant Barrymore look with ease. It has 2,000 branch tips with realistic green PVC and PE pine needles for a lush, cashmere feel that feels completely natural (and it's the pefect base for red ornaments like Barrymore's).
Best-seller
These best-selling white LED string lights have over 1,000 five-star reviews. They are an essential purchase for your festive tree, so we recommend investing before they sell out (especially as we quickly approach December).
Soft and Warm
These subtle yet clear Christmas lights are an understated solution to a Christmas classic. Unlike the brighter alternatives, they offer a soft twinkle that doesn't demand attention in your space – meaning your red and gold ornaments can stand out easily.
On-trend color
This high-quality set of 8 ornaments is the most beautiful way to introduce some Barrymore-approved red to your tree. This hue is synonymous with the season, so you can be sure they'll look good year after year.
Festive classics
Red, white, green, and gold have been associated with Christmas for centuries – so why start anywhere other than the classics? Barrymore agrees – in case we need another excuse to invest.
Snowflake patterns
Much like the details on Barrymore's tree, this piece has a bright gold finish that feels timeless. We can invest knowing it will look just as good next Christmas and for many more holidays ahead.
The white light vs. colorful Christmas tree lights debate is an eternal one; however, experts say that when considering how to choose the perfect Christmas lights, white ones like Barrymore's are specifically impactful for those looking to create an inviting and comfortable space.
'Use a mix of ribbons, tinsel, ornaments, and lights to really elevate your trees,' suggests design expert Rebecca Baddeley. 'Cool, white lighting [like Barrymore's] is particularly effective for creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.' We recommend pairing these lights with red and gold ornaments, like the actress, for an aesthetic that will stay on trend year after year. 'You can put these items away knowing they'll look just as fashionable next December,' comments our head of celebrity style news, Megan Slack. 'Red, white, and gold are utterly classic for a reason – and Barrymore just gave us yet another reason to invest in confidence. Who can really argue with her?'.
