Really, how could I talk about unique Christmas tree toppers and not include the Pumpkin King? If anyone has a unique way to celebrate Christmas, it’s him. ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ is an iconic film during both Halloween and Christmas. And even if you haven’t seen it, you’ve certainly seen all the merchandise and memorabilia. Have this topper, and everyone will know who it is. It’s also a great excuse to watch a fantastic movie.
11. CHRISTMAS ON THE HIGH SEAS

Frosty the Snowman is almost as popular as Santa Claus himself. Having him as a tree topper may not be as unique as having a Jedi master or an alien statue, but he’s one that isn’t seen often at the top of a Christmas Tree, and I think that it’s high time that changed.
14. THE OLD ONES ENJOY CHRISTMAS TOO, I GUESS.
Even fans of H. P. Lovecraft enjoy the holidays. Having Cthulhu stand watch over your tree may be an unconventional choice for a tree topper, but it’s sure to be one that everyone will remember. If they don’t ask why you have a green octopus on your tree instead.
15. THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD
This is more of a DIY tree topper, but this one was just so incredible, I had to include it. Santa in an airplane dogfight with King Kong…in a Santa hat. Find a figure of a gorilla, Santa in an airplane, some wire, a few ties to make sure King Kong stays upright, and you’re good to go. This is one of the best unique Christmas tree toppers!
