People are loving black Christmas trees

Every year, we overlook the fact festive colours red and green (technically) clash in order to welcome Christmas into our homes.

But this year there’s another option: enter the black Christmas tree.

According to Treetopia, black is now the second most popular colour for artificial Christmas trees in a number of US states, including Arizona, Indiana, and Washington DC (where, surprisingly, Melania’s blood red Christmas trees don’t seem to have caught on).

The hashtag #blackchristmastree has also featured in 10,460 posts on Instagram, proving their widespread popularity.

Although not traditional, we have to admit the black trees give home a glamorous, Scandi-chic look when paired with white and silver baubles.

Plus, who wouldn’t be happy to skip the extra hoovering that using a real pine tree requires?

For those who don’t like the look of black trees but fancy a change, you could also look into a silver or white number, which gives us all sorts of winter forest vibes.

So will you be giving the new trend a try?
