What would Christmas be without a Christmas tree? That’s right – not a real celebration. Sustainability and wood prices are also having an impact on the trends for Christmas trees this year. myHOMEBOOK editor Franke Kruse-Gering provides an insight.
A real Christmas tree has many advantages. It looks good, is natural, and smells nice – provided it’s not a Nordmann fir. However, it also sheds needles, is bulky, and brings a lot of pests into your home. And yet, the actual tree is and will remain a Christmas tree trend in 2024.
1. The tree in a pot
For garden owners in particular, one Christmas tree trend has established itself in recent years and will continue to do so in 2024: the tree in a pot. You don’t buy a Christmas tree that has already been cut down but one that is still planted in a pot. After Christmas, you can plant it out. If you don’t have space for another tree in your garden, you can also use certain suppliers who will collect the tree in its pot after Christmas.
2. The ‘real thing’ remains popular
For many people, nothing beats a real tree at Christmas. However, it shouldn’t be an “off-the-peg” one. Individualism is very important. Anyone can just go to the Christmas tree dealer and buy the first tree that comes along. One of the Christmas tree trends in 2024 is, therefore, cutting your own. Whether Nobilis, Colorado fir or something completely different – the main thing is not having the same as everyone. The price usually doesn’t matter either. Cutting the tree is celebrated as an event in the run-up to Christmas with family or friends, and the icing on the cake is a special tree.
3. Artificial trees remain in vogue for 2024
Artificial trees are becoming increasingly popular. However, the main focus is not on price but on quality. It has to be long-lasting. Temu and co. are not in demand because of poor processing, poor working conditions, and inferior quality. In 2024, people will still be happy to dig a little deeper into their pockets for an artificial Christmas tree. But natural tones are preferred – neon pink, white, and other bright colors are out of favor this year.

4. Alternatives emerge as a Christmas tree trend in 2024
Those who really want something different and want to do without greenery completely are trendsetters this year. In addition to the real tree or artificial fir, a lot of emphasis is also being placed on creative alternatives. Here, too, individualism is gaining ground again. The more unique the decoration, the better. Whether painted on the wall, as a decorated indoor palm tree, or an improvised tree made from stacked boxes – there are no limits to the imagination this year. The internet offers a wealth of inspiring ideas to guide your creativity.
