We’ve assembled a fun collection of the best travel-themed Christmas ornaments. Travel may look different these days thanks to, ahem, the neverending pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fondly remember the great travel times we had and enjoy the ones we now get it. With our travel Christmas ornaments collection, you can do both!
Travel Christmas ornaments: the best travel-inspired ornaments for your Christmas tree
The holidays are often a time to reconnect with friends and family. To slow down and catch our breath, remember the great times we had earlier in the year, and to celebrate a variety of traditions. In many cases people will travel for the holidays too.
This silly pandemic, though, has turned a lot of things on their heads. Both last year and this year, people’s holiday plans may still be a bit disrupted. Maybe you are not able to spend as much time with your family as you’d wish. Maybe you had to cancel your big plans or maybe you have a family with varied opinions on the vaccine.
Whatever you have going on these holidays we hope you get a chance to stick up a Christmas tree (if that’s your jam) and get some decorating in. We’ve built a great list of travel-inspired Christmas tree ornaments to help remind you of all the places you didn’t go to the last few years and all the craziness that came with it.

Alright, here are the best travel Christmas ornaments:
Kurt Adler Luggage Christmas Tree Ornament
You can buy a famous travel inspired Kurt Adler Christmas tree ornament directly from Amazon. This neat piece features a stickered suitcase and is just 3.75″ long.
Commercial Airliner Resin Hanging Tree Ornament
We love this airplane tree ornament. At just over 4 inches long this airplane ornament is built from resin and features a sleek metallic finish reminiscent of a time long past.
Born to Fly Christmas Tree Ornament from Airportag
Quirky travel gear company Airportag is like the Spencer’s of the online travel shopping experience and we love their fun homages to travel. Their travel holiday ornament collection is pretty darn solid. We’ve got a few entries from them on our list including this one, below, which boldly states the facts.

Classic Motorhome Vacation Travel Tree Ornaments from Target
2020 & 2021 have been the years of the road trip. In droves, people have been buying and renting RV’s and taking the great American road trip. Maybe that was the only travel you got in this year or maybe you’ve got a big road trip planned for 2022. Either way, this RV tree ornament from Target is pretty neat.
Speaking of road trips, check out our recommended road trip gadgets and road trips memes!
Travel Family 2 People Personalized Christmas Ornament from Walmart
If you are a grandparent not making the trip to see family this year (thanks to the pandemic…) this ornament might be a cute (and sad) way to let them know you are still thinking of them and that next year you will definitely be there!
Paris Themed (or other cities) Christmas Tree Ornament from Wayfair
Wayfair (who we love, btw) has a great collection of Christmas ornament and many travel themed ornaments too. We kind of like this Paris ornament as it reminds us of the places we didn’t get to to travel to before we all locked down. Ugh!
Customizable Travel Ornament for Christmas from Bed Bath & Beyond
Bed Bath & Beyond will let you customize your own travel inspired tree ornament with your own picture and name. That’s pretty neat!
Charles De Gaulle Airport Christmas Tree Ornament from Airportag
Airport codes are a quirky part of travel that travel nerds totally dig. We are such people and are always nerding out. Airportag (who we mentioned earlier) will sell you a Christmas tree ornament with any airport code in the world (just about).

Face Mask Christmas Ornament
Who thought we’d still be wearing these puppies 2 years in? Not this guy, but sadly here we are.
2021 Vaccinated Christmas Tree Ornament
Have vaccine, mask and passport and will travel. Maybe…depends on the country and the variant. And the politics. Ha…
San Diego Airport Tree Ornament
This airport Christmas tree ornament is one of our favorites and not just because we fly out of SAN on a regular basis (er…did fly out of it…)!
Passport themed Christmas Ornament from Wayfair
We think this cute passport themed Christmas Ornament is the best and makes a wonderful travel inspired tree decoration.
2020/2021 Ornament: We Went Nowhere!
Another fun entry on our list is this bold ornament that highlights precisely where we all traveled this year: nowhere! It can be purchased from etsy.
Did you find the travel Christmas ornament you were looking for? We hope so! We have a tradition in our family and it stems back to the early days of our marriage when we didn’t have any Christmas decorations. Every year we’d go out, as a family, and shop for a new Christmas tree ornament to remember the year.
As the years passed and the family grew we eventually built quite the collection. Now, during the holidays, it’s a sweet, fun time to pull those old ornaments out of the box and hang them on the tree. We’ve got a few travel-inspired ornaments (like our fun vacation to Hawaii!) and this year we are adding a few more. How about you?
