Frequently Asked Questions
In What Order Should You Decorate a Christmas Tree?
Start by fluffing the branches to create a full and natural shape. If you’re adding your own lights, do this next. Then, layer on garlands or ribbons before finishing with ornaments and a tree topper.
What Is the Easiest Christmas Tree To Assemble?
The easiest Christmas tree to assemble is a pre-lit model with pre-fluffed branches. You can also opt for a Balsam Hill Flip Tree, which minimizes heavy lifting and makes setup effortless.
How To Properly Put Up a Christmas Tree?
Begin by securing the base, then assemble each section from the bottom up. Fluff the branches, test the lights if it’s pre-lit, and decorate in layers—from lights to garlands, ornaments, and finally the topper—for a polished, festive look.
