If you’re disappointed in your quirky version of a Christmas tree this year, don’t be. What is “classic” anyway?

Finding a “classic” Christmas tree is sometimes impossible. It seems as though the cheap ones sell out immediately and the only ones left cost a small fortune. So, if a traditional Christmas tree isn’t happening this year, here are some fun alternatives that are just as festive.

And, hey, if these don’t work out. You can always make a fun one out of Gingerbread.

Alternative Ideas for Christmas Trees

1. Tiny Christmas trees, cleverly disguised as table centerpieces.

2. Tropical Christmas trees.

3. Beach Christmas trees and/or Christmas trees that are clearly dead.

4. Christmas trees with naive yet inspirational Christmas ornaments.

5. Christmas trees decorated with elementary school craft projects.

6. Plastic Christmas trees.

7. Manly Christmas trees (just add duct tape).

8. Deciduous Christmas trees.

9. [Insert your tree here.]
