Celtic Woman: O Christmas Tree is the sixth Christmas-themed album by Irish musical ensemble Celtic Woman.

It was the group's first album to consist entirely of live tracks.[1] The album features vocalists Lisa Lambe, Susan McFadden and Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and violinist Mairead Nesbitt. In contrast to the Celtic Woman: Home for Christmas album, O Christmas Tree does not feature vocalist Chloë Agnew.
