The 8 best christmas picks and sprays, reviewed
Picks 1 to 3 suit most trees; the rest match specific themes.
1. Sggvecsy 20 Pack Assorted Christmas Picks (10 Kinds): Best Overall
A mixed pack is the easiest start. This Sggvecsy set has 20 pieces in 10 designs built around pine needles, pinecones, holly leaves and red berries, some with an iced, frosted effect per the listing.
Lengths run from 7 to 13.9 in (18 to 35 cm): short picks for the top, longer sprays for the lower branches. Stems are plastic-wrapped iron wire, and the foam berries have a glossy lacquer coating.
Good to know: Twenty pieces suit a 4 to 5 ft (1.2 to 1.5 m) tree; for 7.5 ft (2.3 m), add a second pack.
Best for: First-time pick users, traditional red-and-green trees, mixing into wreaths
Check current price on Amazon → Add to Amazon cart (save it for Black Friday) →2. TIDALJAM 12 Pcs Red Holly Berry Stems, 13.5 in: Best Red Berry Picks
Red berries add color without competing with ornaments. Each TIDALJAM stem is 13.5 in (34 cm) long with five branches of five berries, each about 10 mm (0.4 in), so it looks fuller than a single straight stem.
The listing says the foam berries have a waterproof coating for about three months of seasonal outdoor use, so they also suit porch pots and a front-door wreath.
Good to know: The stems themselves are not waterproof, per the listing, so keep outdoor sprays under a porch roof where you can.
Best for: Classic red trees, front-door wreaths, porch planters
Check current price on Amazon → Add to Amazon cart (save it for Black Friday) →3. ATTGREAT 30 Pcs Champagne Poinsettia and Glitter Picks Kit: Best All-in-One Kit
This ATTGREAT kit does the matching for you: 30 champagne and soft gold pieces, six of each style, including poinsettias, glitter foliage, leaves and berry stems. The listing gives branch stems of 14.3 in (36 cm), leaf stems of 14.5 in (37 cm), berry picks of 9 in (23 cm) and florals of about 5.9 in (15 cm).
It includes 12 metal clips and 12 green ties for garlands, stair rails and wreath bases. The neutral tone suits white, gold, silver and blush ornaments.
Good to know: The listing notes that a little glitter may shed in transit, so unpack it over a tray.
Best for: Gold or champagne themes, garlands and stair rails, decorators who want a matched set
Check current price on Amazon → Add to Amazon cart (save it for Black Friday) →4. Feitore 30 Pcs Snow Frosted Pine Picks, 11.3 in: Best Frosted Picks
Frosted pine gives a green tree a snow-dusted look with no spray. These Feitore picks are flocked pine stems, 30 to a pack and about 11.3 in (29 cm) long, enough to spread over a 6 to 7.5 ft (1.8 to 2.3 m) tree.
The listing says the frosting does not fall off easily and each stem has iron wire inside for bending.
Good to know: On an already flocked tree they blend in and lose impact.
Best for: Winter-woodland and white-and-silver themes, green trees that need a snowy touch
Check current price on Amazon →5. N&T NIETING 12 Pcs Norfolk Pine Stems, 24 in: Best Greenery Filler
Some trees need more branches, not more sparkle. These 12 Norfolk pine stems are 24 in (60 cm) long and hang softly, with needles shading light to dark green, to hide gaps on a sparse tree.
The listing says they are waterproof PE (polyethylene) for indoor and outdoor use. Like the look? Our Norfolk pine garland review covers a matching garland.
Good to know: At 24 in, they are long; trim or fold the ends for the top third of the tree.
Best for: Sparse trees, outdoor planters, mantel and table greenery
Check current price on Amazon →6. 4 Pcs Magnolia Leaf Stems, 22 in: Best Large Sprays
Broad magnolia leaves stand out against fine pine needles, a Southern-style favorite. This pack has four 22 in (56 cm) stems with 10 leaves each, 40 in total.
The stems bend and can be cut, per the listing, so one stem can become two or three sprays. Wipe with a soft cloth to clean. Brand: OBDXZHC.
Good to know: Four stems are focal sprays for the top or a mantel, not a whole tree.
Best for: 7.5 to 9 ft (2.3 to 2.7 m) trees, mantels, vases and Southern or classic themes
Check current price on Amazon →7. Winlyn 12 Pcs Natural Pinecone Picks, 8.3 in: Best Rustic Picks
Real pinecones bring warmth plastic cannot copy. Each Winlyn pick is a dried pinecone of about 3.9 x 2.7 in (10 x 7 cm) on a brown wire stem, about 8.3 in (21 cm) overall; sizes vary slightly.
Use them in clusters of three with burlap ribbon or buffalo plaid.
Good to know: Twelve cones are an accent, not a full tree.
Best for: Rustic, farmhouse and woodland trees, centerpieces, garlands
Check current price on Amazon →8. Dingion 16 Pcs Burgundy Velvet Leaf Picks, 12 in: Best Vintage Look
Velvet suits a moody, vintage tree. These 16 Dingion leaf sprays are 12 in (30 cm) long with matte burgundy velvet flocking on soft, sturdy plastic that bends or trims to fit, per the listing.
Pair them with gold ornaments and velvet Christmas bows.
Good to know: Burgundy reads almost brown in dim light; place them near the lights so the color shows.
Best for: Vintage, burgundy-and-gold and moody themes, wreaths and mantels
Check current price on Amazon →Picks vs sprays vs stems: what is the difference?
Shops use the words loosely, but generally:
| Type | Typical length | Shape | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pick | 6–12 in (15–30 cm) | Short, one cluster on a wire stem | Filling small gaps, clusters of three |
| Spray | 12–24 in (30–60 cm) | Longer, branches fan out | Bursting out of the tree, toppers, mantels |
| Stem | 12–30 in (30–76 cm) | Single long branch | Vases, cutting into several picks |
Good christmas tree picks and sprays use both: picks for depth, sprays past the tips for shape.
How many christmas tree picks and sprays do you need?
Count by tree height and the look you want. These are planning ranges for a full-shaped artificial tree:
| Tree height | Light accent | Full designer look | Best pick length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tabletop, up to 4 ft (1.2 m) | 8–12 | 15–20 | 6–9 in (15–23 cm) |
| 6 ft (1.8 m) | 15–20 | 30–40 | 9–12 in (23–30 cm) |
| 7.5 ft (2.3 m) | 20–30 | 40–60 | 10–14 in (25–36 cm) |
| 9 ft (2.7 m) | 30–40 | 60–80 | 12–24 in (30–60 cm) |
Count a cluster of three as one placement; slim trees need about a third fewer. Thin tree? Read how to make a Christmas tree look fuller.
How to decorate a christmas tree with picks and sprays
Here is how to decorate a christmas tree with picks and sprays in the right order:
- Lights first, then ribbon. Picks go in after the lights and any Christmas tree ribbon.
- Add filler greenery to bare spots, angled slightly up.
- Place sprays in a zig-zag. Work from top to bottom, angling each spray up and out by about 45 degrees.
- Tuck berry picks deep. Set some 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) inside the tree for depth.
- Group small picks in threes. Odd numbers look natural; space clusters about 12 to 18 in (30 to 45 cm) apart.
- Finish at the top. Fan three to five long sprays behind your topper; see our Christmas tree toppers guide.
- Hang ornaments last, then step back and fill dark holes.
Twist each wire stem once around a branch; anchor heavy sprays with floral wire.
Christmas floral picks and sprays ideas by theme
Choose one filler, one color accent and one texture, then repeat all three across the tree. Christmas floral picks and sprays look best in a tight palette.
| Theme | Filler | Color accent | Texture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic red and green | Norfolk pine (pick 5) | Red holly berries (pick 2) | Assorted pack pinecones (pick 1) |
| Champagne and gold | Frosted pine (pick 4) | Champagne kit (pick 3) | Magnolia leaves (pick 6) |
| Rustic farmhouse | Norfolk pine (pick 5) | Red berries (pick 2) | Natural pinecones (pick 7) |
| Winter woodland | Frosted pine (pick 4) | Frosted assorted picks (pick 1) | Natural pinecones (pick 7) |
| Vintage burgundy | Norfolk pine (pick 5) | Burgundy velvet (pick 8) | Magnolia leaves (pick 6) |
Christmas picks for wreaths, garlands and centerpieces
For christmas picks for wreaths, choose 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) pieces and cluster them at the bottom or at 4 and 8 o’clock. Wire-stem picks (1, 2, 4 and 7) twist straight onto a frame. Our Christmas wreaths for front door guide has bases that take add-ons well.
For garlands, add a cluster every 18 to 24 in (45 to 60 cm); a pre-lit Christmas garland makes a good base. For centerpieces, lay cut stems flat, well clear of any candle flame.
How to store picks and sprays so they last
Straighten stems before packing so the wire does not kink, keep glitter and velvet picks apart from pine so glitter does not transfer, and store natural pinecones dry in a lidded box. A divided box helps; see our ornament storage picks.
Safety tips for picks near lights and candles
None of these listings claim a flame-retardant rating, so keep picks away from candles, fireplaces and heaters. The NFPA has useful winter holiday fire safety and candle safety tips. Keep berries and small pinecones off low branches if you have toddlers or pets.
How we chose these christmas picks and sprays (not tested)
We did not test these products hands-on. To choose the best christmas picks and sprays, we read each Amazon listing for piece count, length, material and finish, then chose eight non-electric packs covering filler, color and texture across themes and budgets, from budget-friendly berry stems to premium-looking magnolia sprays. Where a listing left out a detail, we say "not stated." None appear in our other Christmas guides.
