Not many people will be aware of this genius new Christmas tree invention that looks just as good as a normal Christmas tree but takes seconds to put up.

This flat pack Christmas tree simply has to be taken out of its small storage box and popped up into position and it's all set up!

The tree definitely won’t be for everyone as for many, decorating a Christmas tree in the traditional way is a huge part of Christmas tradition. For many people, putting on some Christmas music or movies and assembling the tree before adding baubles is a highlight of the season.

However, for those who don’t enjoy spending time decorating but still want their house to feel special for Christmas, this tree is the perfect option.

You can purchase a collapsible Christmas tree from Amazon for around £40 depending on which one you buy.

One reviewer on Amazon wrote: “This tree is so easy to put up and took about five mins (most of that time was spent arranging the lights on it). I wanted an easier tree this year as I was tired of messing around with our other one and having to spend hours decorating it - this one is perfect.

“It's simple, pretty, and most importantly, our dog likes it and hasn't tried to tear it down - whoever invented pop up trees deserves a medal. Genius idea, and I like this much more than faffing with a regular Christmas tree. It's given me more time to spend doing other things, as life is hectic enough and it'll be super easy to put away when the festive season has passed us by.

“I would 100 percent recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to mess around having to put up a big tree, or someone who is short on space. It looks beautiful and cosy next to our fireplace and the camera doesn't do it justice. I love it.”

Although some have been against the pop up tree due to the thought of losing a precious holiday tree decorating tradition, for many it poses a convenient way to get into the festive spirit.

The pop up tree will still look like a normal tree and has been praised for its innovative design.

It stores away easily and takes up way less space than a normal tree and other decorative pieces would, this makes it ideal for people in an apartment or smaller home.
