Many Instagramers and Tiktokers have taken to exploring the trend by fixing babubles of different sizes to make a cascading pattern from the top of the tree to the bottom.

3. The modern "minimalist" tree

This year, many seem to prefer a more understated approach, making the minimalist Christmas tree a popular choice. This trend focuses on simplicity, elegance, and clean lines, with a focus on natural elements like wood and greenery, with an added magic of fairy lights.

4. The sustainable tree trend

Eco-Conscious netizens have embraced sustainability this holiday season with a focus on eco-friendly materials and decorations. Opt for ornaments made from natural materials like wood, pinecones, and dried oranges, or repurpose items like old books or vintage toys.

Less is more when it comes to sustainability. Choose a few high-quality, reusable ornaments instead of a large number of disposable ones. Swap traditional incandescent lights for energy-saving LED lights.

5. Do-It-Yourself Christmas tree

Then there are some who haven't bought a tree this year, but have gone the creative way to make their own fake trees.

A long christmas garland is then used to wrap around the sticks to make a tree.
