Traditions surrounding the setting up of the Christmas tree

The search for the perfect spruce and the choice of when to put up the Christmas tree in Germany are strongly influenced by personal and regional traditions. In some cases, the tree remains standing until Epiphany, while another family removes it immediately after the holiday. Regardless of the timing, the charm of glittering branches and fragrant needles remains unsurpassed.

German traditions for setting up the Christmas tree

What about other countries?

In many countries, it is customary to put up and decorate the Christmas tree at home on Christmas Eve. The fir tree is often the star, bringing warmth and festive cheer to every place. But whether you decorate your Christmas tree best in early December or wait until the 24th – as long as you enjoy it, you're doing everything right. With a fir tree from ArtiTree, you keep the most beautiful Christmas customs alive.

Ideal time to set up the Christmas tree

Setting up the Christmas tree: The ideal time often depends on personal preferences and traditions. A rule of thumb, however, is not to bring a real tree into a warm environment too early, as the heating air can quickly dry out the branches. Some people therefore place their Christmas trees in water.

With an ArtiTree fir tree, you don't have to remove a net or carry water. You can set up your Christmas tree whenever you want. Our tip: Set up your Christmas tree at the beginning of Advent to enjoy the sight throughout the Christmas season. With ArtiTree, you make the most of the holidays.

When do most people put up their Christmas tree?

In Germany, many people only move the Christmas tree from the basement, garage, or cool spot on the terrace into the living room shortly before Christmas Eve. The tree often remains decorated until January 6th, the traditional Epiphany custom. By then, the tree ideally still retains its needles and Christmas magic.

Our fir tree doesn't shed needles and can stay in your home from early December to mid-January without changing. Piles of needles and carrying water for the Christmas tree are a thing of the past. Enjoy a stress-free Christmas with ArtiTree for as long as you want!
