Experts at Christmas Tree World revealed the exact date you should put your tree up this year.
Advent typically starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. This year, the first Sunday of Advent is December 3, 2023, making it the ideal time to begin your festivities.
Another popular choice for when to deck the halls is the slightly earlier date of December 1. Many households like to set up their tree and other festive decorations on the first day of the month to mark the start of the official countdown to the big day.
Those who wish to start the preparations early can always create a tradition and routine of their own. With the stresses of last-minute gift shopping, family visits and the dreaded food shop, it can be easy for popular traditions to slip away, especially during a cost-of-living crisis. In recent years, it has not been uncommon for families to get ahead and welcome the festive season early, with some setting up their trees as soon as Halloween is over.
If you're thinking of getting a new tree this year, you may want to start looking around too. Christmas Tree Worldhas the ideal range of artificial trees to suit all families' needs. To recreate a "winter morning after snowfall" vibe this Christmas, The Snow White Firis the perfect option.
