Frequently Asked Questions
In What Order Should You Decorate a Christmas Tree?
Start by fluffing the branches to create a full shape, then add lights if you'll be using your own. Follow that with garlands or ribbons, then finish with ornaments and a tree topper.
What Is the Easiest Christmas Tree To Assemble?
The easiest Christmas tree to assemble is a pre-lit tree with pre-fluffed branches. Another popular option is Balsam Hill's Flip trees, which lessen the heavy lifting when setting up your artificial tree.
How To Properly Put Up a Christmas Tree?
Secure the base first, then assemble each section from the bottom up. Fluff the branches, check the lights if you have a pre-lit model, then decorate in layers from lights to ornaments for a polished look.
