I did, a good few years ago during a sale as they are pretty expensive. I’m very happy with it but think the same quality is probably available here at the same price if not a bit less. The one I bought is a pre-lit one and it’s lovely.

The John Lewis Christmas themes for 2024 are here….
For 2024, John Lewis reveals four stunning decorating themes – Dawn & Dusk, Sugar & Spice, Trinket & Treasure and Wisdom & Wonder. Check them out first here…
A first look at John Lewis’ four key Christmas themes for 2024 – and some top decoration ideas.
The most wonderful time of the year has officially begun with a plethora of UK brands giving us a deep dive into what festive gear will hit their shelves, we’re surely not the only ones who can’t wait to get the tree up and the decorations out?…
From Tesco and Asda’s food offerings, which look divine, to Matalan, Homebase and Dobbie’s new Christmas baubles and decorations, it is time to ditch the swimwear and get the jumpers out!
Now the festivities have gone in full swing as John Lewis showcases its decorating trends. This is one to behold, from whimsical mushroom disco ornaments, traditional sock stockings, and a delightful set of 12 Days of Christmas baubles and its first soft pink Christmas tree.
What are John Lewis’ Four New Christmas Themes?
This festive season the UK retailer has announced four brand-new themes: Dawn & Dusk, Sugar & Spice, Trinket & Treasure and Wisdom & Wonder. Let’s explore each trend below plus a few highlights from the collection too.
Dawn & Dusk
Inspired by mystical winter woodlands, this rustic theme uses the classic colour palette of red and green is reimagined in grown up tones of burgundy and khaki, with velvet as a key texture.
Key highlights include this clip on red candle which give us a real nostalgic feeling!
Sungar & Spice
It’s all about retro nostalgia combined with maximalism to create a trend that is unapologetically fun and sure to bring a smile to any scrooge. Think PINK tree’s and AI curated decorations.
We’re loving the sparkle take on the below traditional Christmas stockings…
Trinket & Tresure
This theme exudes a distinct sense of warmth and is inspired by global travels, featuring charming embroidery details and felt textures that add a delightful handcrafted touch.
This star bauble gives us homemade vibes all day long!
Wisdom & Wonder
Imagine playful tree decorations, a glittery martini glass, and a bubblegum-blowing statue, all beautifully blending with elegant geometric and baroque patterns.
The colours and extra large garland will give any home that WOW factor.
Lisa Cherry, Head of Christmas at John Lewis said “This year, our Christmas themes celebrate the diverse spirit of Christmas and are inspired by a celebration of contrasts. Our four themes Sugar & Spice, Wisdom & Wonder, Dawn & Dusk and Trinket & Treasure have each been thoughtfully curated by our team of expert buyers and designers with the intention of bringing joy into the home this festive season.
Alongside our themes, key trends for this Christmas will include playful supersized wreaths and oversized bows taking centre stage as we expect ‘doorscaping’ and playing with scale to be popular with our customers. 2024 sees the debut of our very first pink Christmas tree as part of Sugar & Spice, a colour we predict will be a big hit for the festive period.
I’m truly excited by everything John Lewis has to offer this festive season, let the Christmas countdown begin!”.
When will the John Lewis Christmas shop open?
The questions on everyone’s lips after seeing these gorgeous new themes and if last year is to go by we could see the JL festive shop open online around the end of August.
When will the John Lewis Christmas Adert 2024 come out?
There is currently no information about the JL Advert (don’t worry we’ll keep digging!) and we’ll keep you posted.

Saw this article yesterday, not sure what I think on Red (& Pink?) christmas trees to be honest.
Get ready to take your festive decor to a whole new level as red Christmas trees are the new next big thing and you’re going to LOVE them.
When Christmas comes around, picking the right tree for your home is essential, and although many of us love the traditional big busy green trees it looks as though red Christmas trees are going to be one of the hottest trends for 2024.
Adding a pop of colour and certainly giving the WOW factor (and not one for the faint-hearted) red Christmas trees and red Christmas decorations are here to stay. According to online sources, including Pinterest, a surge in searches for the trend has gone through the roof.
Styling a red Christmas tree can be a delightful way to embrace the festive spirit while adding a vibrant touch to your holiday decor.
How to style a red Christmas tree?
Adding a plethora of twinkling warm white lights will enhance the rich colour of the red tree and create a cosy atmosphere.
A wide plaid or velvet ribbon can add elegance, while a fun, striped ribbon can bring a playful element.
We know already that coloured Christmas trees have been hugely popular in the last few years and it seems as though that trend is going nowhere fast, with John Lewis launching a Pink Christmas tree – yes pink and Habitat will also release this hot pink 6-footer!
And it’s not just Christmas trees that are having the red effect but also decorations too, as we’ve seen a host of new red baubles and ornaments going to hit shelves this Christmas.
Including this from John Lewis’s Dawn & Dusk Candle Tree Decoration.
If more is more is your style this Christmas then a red Christmas tree should be added to the top of your Christmas home decor.
