• From Old World Christmas

With its snowy white skin and ever-curious gaze, this Beluga Whale Ornament looks ready to glide right off the branch and into icy waters. One of the rare whales that wears a hue as brilliant as the Arctic environment it inhabits, the beluga is majestic and recognizable.

This glass ornament, which measures 5.5 inches in length, is designed to resemble the sleek, streamlined body of a beluga whale, complete with small, rounded flippers and a bulbous forehead. A dusting of glitter adds just enough sparkle to catch the light between ornaments, and a gentle shimmer on its surface suggests the glint of sunlight on frozen seas.

Belugas are known for traveling in pods and using a wide range of sounds to communicate. While this ornament won’t whistle or chirp from the tree, it carries the same calm presence that these whales are loved for. Whether you’re putting together a coastal tree, honoring a love of Arctic wildlife, or just looking for something off the beaten path, this whale fits the bill.

Pair it with coral-inspired ornaments, ocean-colored baubles, or other aquatic animals to build out a sea-themed tree, or let it float solo among snowflakes and polar bears. The Beluga Whale Ornament doesn’t need fanfare to make an impact. Its quiet form, serene color, and thoughtful design bring a cool current of the far north to your holiday decorating. And for those who think trees should reflect what we love, whether that’s nature, travel, or sea creatures, this little whale offers a wintry nod to the depths.
