They'll make the sweetest keepsakes!

Baby's first Christmas is a celebration in itself! There's really nothing better than making special holiday memories with your new little one by your side. There's the first time they see all those magical Christmas lights, the first time you watch Christmas movies with them snuggled in your arms, the first time they try to unwrap presents with their tiny hands, and the first time they match your family Christmas pajamas (trust us, there are so many adorable onesie options). And what better way to be forever reminiscent over all of those firsts than with a keepsake Christmas ornament? We've gathered the cutest first Christmas ornaments so you can do just that.

Here, there are plenty of sweet options that will fit in perfectly with the Christmas tree decorations and ornament sets you already have. There are precious glass ornaments, resin ornaments, wood ornaments, felt ornaments, and everything in between. You'll also find darling designs in the shape of rocking horses, baby shoes, storks, stockings, mobiles, and more! Several of these picks are personalized, too—so you can hang up an extra special ornament featuring your newborn's name, birthdate, photo, or even their handprint.

Every time you go to place the ornament on your Christmas tree, you'll be brought back to the merriest holiday season when you welcomed your little bundle of joy home. And once you buy a unique ornament for their first Christmas, don't stop there! Buying a personalized ornament each year can become a new Christmas tradition.

Hanging this beautiful bauble on your tree might just bring a tear to your eye. The rocking horse and bundle of toys are crafted of ivory fine china and hand-painted with gold accents for the most elegant keepsake. It can even be personalized with your baby's name.

Place a picture of your little one inside this ceramic ornament frame to reminisce on their sweet baby face each year as they grow. It's hand-painted with a holly design, their name then kiln-fired, and then tied with a satin ribbon.

This pretty ornament is the perfect way to welcome home your little bundle of joy this holiday season. The stork is hand crafted, hand painted, and would also make a great gift for any expecting mommas.

You'll certainly treasure this one for many Christmases to come. The kit comes with everything you need to get an impression of their little handprint or footprint then hang it when you're done. You can even redo the process if you mess up the first time.

Ornaments can also be used to remember all of their important milestones. These tiny shoes are representative of baby's first Christmas and their first steps! The ivory fine china can be personalized with baby's name, a date, and their birthstone crystal.

Resembling a classic children's toy, this beautiful bestselling wooden block will accessorize your tree in the most special way. It's handcrafted and laser engraved on all six sides to last through the years. As for personalization, you can choose the color then add your baby's full name, initial, birth information, milestones, an engraved image, and a quote.

You're sure to go "aww" every time you pull this one out of its box. The baby all snug in its stocking features name and date personalization plus a little jingle bell on the hat. You can find this one in pink, too.

Choose from a cute fox, darling fawn, or pretty penguin to always remember your newborn's first winter. These whimsical critters decorate snowy scenes that will look oh-so pretty hung up. They can be personalized as well.

Commemorate the first holiday season with your baby when you get this cute rocking horse ornament and maybe even buy them a rocking horse toy, too. Crafted of glass, it delicately reads "Baby's First Christmas."

Oh, baby! If you can't decide on just one bauble, go with this four-piece glass set featuring all of the classic baby motifs like booties, a rattle, a bassinet, and a rocking horse. It comes in a blue color scheme as well.

"Welcome Little One" reads this magical tree accessory. It's made of resin and topped with cute little bows for a design that'll make you smile each time you hang it. Just look at that precious elephant!

We love the pretty personalized pattern on this embroidered ornament. It's all framed in a bamboo embroidery hoop and topped with a pink gingham bow and red pom-poms. The classic style will happily take you back in time to that first year whenever you see it.

These one-of-a-kind hand felted animal friends will look so precious hanging on your tree. Not only do they represent your newest addition to the family in the cutest way, but they also give back! For each one purchased, 50% of the price will go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Collect a cute keepsake while still matching your minimalist Christmas décor with this wooden ornament. The wood is laser cut and personalized with your baby's name and birth year then strung with twine.

This ornament modeled after a baby mobile features sweet silver charms like a teddy bear, duck, carriage, bottle and rattle. It's crafted of high quality metal and covered with nickel to prevent tarnishing. It comes in a gift box with white, silver, and red ribbons to choose from and will shine on your tree for years to come.
