The Christmas tree has long been the main symbol of winter holidays, bringing a cozy and magical atmosphere to homes. However, not everyone wants or is able to set up a traditional tree. In such cases, alternative options come to the rescue, offering not only festive vibes but also stylish decorations for your interior. At Joy-pup, we’ll show you some interesting ideas for replacing the usual Christmas tree and how to do it beautifully and creatively.
