Make the Christmas Tree a Tradition to Treasure
The scent of pine, the rustle of decorations, and the glow of the first Christmas lights awaken an almost childlike sense of anticipation. The tradition of the Christmas tree goes back a long way, but the feeling is timeless. There’s something special about gathering to decorate the tree—bringing out the family’s old baubles and perhaps adding a new ornament that will become part of this year’s story.
At Hemtex, you’ll find artificial Christmas trees in different sizes and styles, perfect for homes large and small. Our range includes tabletop trees and smaller trees made from plastic and other artificial materials.
The Right Christmas Tree Lights Create Magic
Nothing transforms a Christmas tree quite like lighting. Choose warm white string lights for a soft, classic feel, or cool white lights for a more modern look.
At Hemtex, you’ll find battery-powered string lights for convenience, as well as timer-controlled options that switch on and off automatically. Pair your tree lights with Advent candle holders in the windows and tea lights around the room to create a warm, unified glow throughout your home.
If you love the scent of a real tree but prefer the convenience of an artificial one, add scented candles with notes of pine, cinnamon, and orange. You’ll get the full experience without having to sweep up pine needles.
A Large Tree, Tabletop Tree, or Small Tree?
There’s room for a Christmas tree in every home—you just need to find the right one.
- Large tree: Perfect for the living room, where it can take center stage. Decorate it with plenty of baubles, garlands, and Christmas lights.
- Small tree: A lovely choice for the hallway, bedroom, or kitchen counter. Place it in a beautiful basket or pot and decorate it with small baubles or string lights.
- Tabletop tree: Small trees on trays or windowsills add charm and festive spirit, even in compact spaces. They look lovely with Advent calendars and Christmas decorations from Hemtex.
Whatever size you choose, the tree will soon become the heart of your home in December.
How Will You Decorate Your Tree?
The lovely thing about a Christmas tree is that it can reflect your personality and style. At Hemtex, you’ll find everything you need to create a tree that feels like you.
A Classic Tree in Traditional Colors
A classic Christmas tree never goes out of style. Decorate it with red baubles, shimmering gold garlands, and white lights. Place a tree skirt made of wool or felt underneath and finish with a metal or paper star on top. For extra atmosphere, weave Hemtex string lights around the branches.
A Modern, Minimalist Tree
If you prefer a more contemporary look, decorate your tree in shades of white, silver, and beige. Add glass baubles and minimalist candle holders. This style pairs beautifully with linen Christmas curtains, a light-colored bedspread, and a natural-looking table setting.
A Playful, Colorful Tree
For families with children and anyone with a playful sense of Christmas, the tree can be a burst of color. Blue, pink, and gold baubles, hanging ornaments, Santas, gingerbread, and candy canes—anything goes. It’s about joy, not perfection.
Why Not Put a Christmas Tree Outside?
Don’t forget the outside of your home! An outdoor tree with string lights makes a wonderful welcome. Place it by the entrance, on the patio, or in the garden and let it cast a warm glow as darkness falls.
Add lanterns on the steps, wreaths on the door, and string lights in the bushes. Together, they create a welcoming atmosphere that will bring a smile to guests’ and neighbors’ faces.
When Should You Put Up and Take Down the Tree?
Traditionally, people decorate the tree on Christmas Eve, but many start as early as the third Sunday of Advent so they can enjoy it for longer. There’s no right or wrong—celebrate whenever you like!
As Christmas comes to an end, the tree is usually taken down on St Knut’s Day, 13 January. It’s a gentle farewell to the holiday season and a sign that a new year is beginning.
If you have an artificial tree, it’s easy to pack away and save for next year.
A Green Heart in Your Christmas Home
At Hemtex, you’ll find Christmas trees in a range of sizes and styles, along with everything else you need to make yours unique. Baubles, string lights, and textiles add the finishing touches.
Perhaps your tree is already twinkling in the corner as the scent of mulled wine fills the room. The lights sparkle in the baubles, and the first presents sit beneath the branches. That’s when you know Christmas is here!
