If you thought your Christmas tree had to be decorated with shiny baubles, stars, tinsel and all things festive, think again.

If a mulled wine bauble seems a little cliched, try this bottle of bourbon instead.

We all love pizza – but imagine a veggie supreme instead of a turkey for Christmas lunch. It would cause outrage.

Pandas are adorable, but this little guy is crying out for a tiny Christmas hat to get him in the festive spirit.

13. A pineapple

Arguably the least Christmassy of all the fruits – even with the added glitter.

14. Number 10 Downing Street door

Parliament shop

Even politics is trying to find a way onto your Christmas tree with this bauble of Number 10.

Not the kind of red hat you traditionally associate with Christmas, but it would certainly be a talking point over your festive turkey.
