Frequently Asked Questions

In What Order Should You Decorate a Christmas Tree?

Begin by fluffing the branches to create a full, natural shape. Add the lights first if your tree isn’t pre-lit, then layer on garlands or ribbons. Finish by hanging ornaments and placing your tree topper.

What Is the Easiest Christmas Tree To Assemble?

The easiest trees to assemble are pre-lit models with pre-fluffed branches. Balsam Hill’s Flip Trees are another excellent option, designed to minimise heavy lifting and simplify setup.

How To Properly Put Up a Christmas Tree?

Secure the base, then attach each section from the bottom up. Fluff the branches, test the lights if it’s pre-lit, and decorate in layers — starting with lights, followed by ribbons or garlands, and finishing with ornaments.
