It’s not often that we have a proper white Christmas here in Britain, even though we can expect snow at some point each winter. Nonetheless, Christmas decorations and cards often depict the classic snowy Christmas scene. If you hanker after a white Christmas, here are some ways you can fake it, inside your cosy home.
Snowy artificial Christmas trees
Some of the artificial Christmas trees available come complete with snow-adorned branches for a truly wintry feel. You can buy them in all sorts of sizes, including slimline designs. There is also a choice between unlit and pre-lit artificial snowy trees.
The Snowman
What could be more festive, and snowy, than Raymond Briggs’ beloved Snowman? Decorations themed to evoke the children’s Christmas classic can be purchased to bring a wintry feel to your home. For example, you can obtain a string of snowman-shaped LED lights for indoor use, as well as small snowglobes containing The Snowman or colour-changing LED figures. There are also larger, light-up figures of The Snowman and The Snowdog.
Indoor Christmas scenes and pictures
Battery- or mains-operated Christmas scenes that light up are widely available during the festive season, and are an enduring classic. You can choose from snowy village scenes and other appropriate models. A contemporary twist on these are light-up canvases, displaying a wintry image.
Ice white LED lights
Bring the dazzling whiteness of a snowy day into your home by opting for ice white LED fairy lights instead of warm white or coloured versions. Team with silver and white baubles and tinsel for a wintry theme.
