Russian Christmas Ornaments

Russian Christmas ornaments come in a large number of shape and design imaginable; making Christmas decoration more festive.


Christmas Ornaments popular across the world are also popular in Russia, including angels, Christmas trees, snowmen and of course, Santa Claus.
A large number of Russian Christmas ornaments are made from durable plastic, and some are still hand made and hand painted in delicate wood and blown glass. Some are designed not to grace your tree but to make more attractive every room in your home with traditional images of the Christ child and Holy Family, keeping the true spirit of Christmas alive in eye-catching ornaments that will become heirlooms in your family.
They come in various sizes and painted in every color of the rainbow. Most of the ornaments are uniquely Russian: Pieces patterned after the famous nesting dolls or "matryoshkas" or the Snow Maiden of Russian literature. The magnificent onion-shaped domes of Russian Orthodox Church steeples, like Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, are also popular. Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcraker" will always be the traditional performance of the season and nutcracker Christmas ornaments are a perfect reminder of that beloved classic.



Taking their cue from the fabulous Faberge Easter eggs, some Russian Christmas ornaments are eggshell shaped and painted in minute detail with Grandfather Frost, angels, rabbits and snow-covered dachas. Even a whole village might find itself hanging among the needles in miniature.

Russian Christmas trees ornaments for decorations are very different from American and European trees. Russian trees are decorated in many bright colors (not just one color or one style of ornament) with various types of decorations: figures, icicles, and candy that kids can to finding and eating.
