  • Christmas fans are kicking off Halloween with festive trees 
  • People from all over the world have fitted their firs with creepy, ghoulish décor
  • One of the most inventive features is the witch’s hat that can replace a Star and the pumpkin baubles.

Although Halloween is more than a month away, families have already started getting into the spooky spirit with some festive décor.

And it’s not just pumpkin and ghost ornaments taking centre stage as some have been putting their Christmas trees to use early by transforming them into seasonal centrepieces to mark All Hallows’ Eve.

Social media was filled with horror-loving enthusiasts who shared their amazing Halloween Trees on social media.

The creative decorators around the globe used their Yuletide trees to recycle a star or angel, and replaced it with something creepy like a spider’s head or a witch hat. 

When it was time to replace baubles with tinsel skulls, pumpkins, fake blood and other decorations were available.

This bizarre trend was first seen on social media in 2018. It saw festive lovers no longer be content with carving pumpkins for October 31.

According to the hashtag #Halloween Trees on Instagram and Twitter, the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
