Tom Brady Christmas: 21 Ornament, Tree and Matching Pajama Ideas for Families Who Go All Out

Tom Brady Christmas decorating comes with a simple rule: there is no such thing as too much. The seven time Super Bowl champion, now a Fox NFL broadcaster, said on his Armchair QB series in 2022 that he loves a lot of lights and ornaments and does not think you can over decorate at Christmas. He also said that decorating is a way to get the entire family involved. In December 2023, People reported that he trimmed the tree with his three kids, and in late December 2025 he shared a photo of the family in coordinating Christmas pajamas. These 21 ideas are inspired by that all in spirit, from ornament packed branches and kid made decorations to a full mantel, matching pajamas and a welcoming front door.

Tom Brady Christmas Starts With a Tree That Holds Nothing Back

The heart of a Tom Brady Christmas look is a tree with ornaments on every branch, not just the front. Stick to three colors, like red, green and gold, so a full tree still looks planned instead of messy. Leave the open storage boxes nearby while you work, and fold the family pajamas on a chair so the room is ready for the big night.

You will need: A full artificial or fresh tree, 150 to 200 shatterproof ornaments in three colors, ornament hooks, a step stool.

How to make it: Fluff every branch first. Hang the largest baubles deep inside near the trunk, then medium baubles in the middle and small ones on the tips.

Fill Every Branch Before You Call It Done

Brady has said he does not think you can over decorate at Christmas, and a packed Tom Brady Christmas tree is the easiest place to test that. The trick is depth. Push some baubles deep toward the trunk so the tree glows with color from the inside, then fill the outer tips. More easy fixes are in these Christmas tree hacks.

You will need: Red glitter ornaments in two sizes, ornament hooks, floral wire for heavy pieces.

How to make it: Hang one bauble deep inside every major branch. Add a second layer on the outer tips. Step back and fill any bare spots you see.

Tuck Red Star Ornaments Between the Baubles

Round baubles are great, but a few star shapes keep a full tree from looking flat. A woven or felt red star adds texture next to shiny glass and fills those awkward gaps between branches. Use the same red as your baubles so everything ties together. Find more soft finishes in these velvet Christmas ornaments.

You will need: Red woven, felt or fabric star ornaments, red ornaments, hooks or ribbon loops.

A Tom Brady Christmas Topper With Ribbon Streamers

A full tree needs a finish that matches the energy. A large gold star with long red velvet ribbons flowing down from the top pulls the eye up and makes the tree look even taller.
