The UK’s last widespread white Christmas was in 2010, and meteorologists are currently predicting this year’s chances as low. For lovers of everything snowy, snow Christmas trees might be your best bet for recreating that crisp, white vibe.
Choice of shapes and tree varieties
Artificial trees mimic the variety of shapes provided by various species. The Yukon pine, for example is tall, slim and conical, whereas the northern pine has a wider spread and a spruce has more upright, open boughs. Snow trees can be all white with an iridescent effect, or flocked, which is when the bough coating is denser. You can even buy a half parasol snow tree, which has a broad canopy on the top half, but no branches on the bottom half, leaving you extra room for stacking presents.
Pre-lit fibre optic trees are a great option if you want a brighter look, although they are also available in a warm white, which will give you more of a subtle glow. Gently coloured snow trees in pale greys, silvers and lavenders are increasingly popular as purchasers seek to match their Christmas decorations to their home colour schemes.
Easy to assemble and long-lasting
Pop up Christmas trees can be erected in seconds, and they are a good space-saving option, but most artificial trees, even the largest ones, come in easy-to-assemble sections and pack down into long, narrow boxes for easy storage.
Snow trees are designed with longevity in mind, providing you with instant winter joy for many years to come.
