Collectible Tabletop Trees
In late 2004, we showed the first "Thomas Kinkade Artificial Tabletop Village Christmas Tree" on one of our web sites, and it became an instant best-seller. The tree was so successful that Collectibles Today has gone on to commission several more from their designers, especially from the world-known "Painter of Light" Thomas Kinkade.
What is a Tabletop Tree?
Most North Americans are surprised to learn that before 1860, most Christmas trees in most homes were only two or so feet tall, and that they sat on tables. Today tabletop trees are occasionally used by people who have a full-sized tree elsewhere but want to bring Christmas charm to a particular corner or room. But they are even more useful for people who are "downsizing," or who no longer feel it is necessary to set up a seven-foot tree with hundreds of ornaments. Tens of thousands of people have chosen to replace "quantity" with the quality and unique charm of these trees.
The trees shown on this page are hand-painted, illuminated, ceramic collector's items. Their bases are small enough to fit just about anywhere, but at 15"-16" tall, each tree make a nice showing on a coffeetable or as a dining table centerpiece. With their carefully-detailed sculptures, intricate painting, and delicate lighting, they are sure to draw interest wherever they are placed in your home.
Note: For this page, I have chosen to use many of the illustrations and product descriptions that are provided by the manufacturer rather than writing a separate review of each tree. The main reason for this choice has to do with the fact that these are selling so fast that I don't always have time to write a review before the tree has gone out of stock. If you have a specific question about any tree on this page, please contact

New for 2007! Thomas Kinkade Wonderland Express Animated Tabletop Christmas Tree With Train
Animated Thomas Kinkade Tabletop Christmas Tree with Music and Light! Moving Trains and Rotating Santa Sleigh. This is cool. Sorry, I got carried away. For two years, Hawthorne Village has been incorporating its famous Thomas Kinkade Christmas Express into tabletop decorations that are perfect for folks who love trains and Christmas and want to express their enjoyment in some space that isn't big enough for a whole train set. This is their best effort, a 16"-high "tabletop" Christmas tree with three levels of animated trains. The trains travel past 12 brilliantly illuminated buildings and over 2 dozen handcrafted figures.
Each intricately detailed holiday scenes is further enhanced with a blanket of glitter-touched snow. This makes an especially great gift for fans of Thomas Kinkade or of Christmas Trains or both.
As I write this, it is early July, and these display trees are alreadly flying off the shelves. Order now!
