Passionate enthusiasts helping Australian families celebrate the magic of Christmas since 2020
Christmas Tree Australia was born from a simple frustration that many Australian families share: finding reliable, honest information about Christmas trees in the Australian market. Back in 2020, our founder Sarah Mitchell spent countless hours researching artificial Christmas trees for her growing family's first home in Melbourne. She discovered that most online resources were either outdated, focused on Northern Hemisphere markets, or simply pushing products without genuine expertise.
That experience sparked an idea. What if there was a dedicated resource specifically for Australian families, written by people who actually understand the unique challenges we face? From dealing with our scorching December heat to finding trees that fit our typically modest ceiling heights, Australians have specific needs that international guides simply don't address.
Today, our small but dedicated team comprises Christmas tree enthusiasts, interior styling experts, and safety-conscious parents who genuinely care about helping you create magical holiday memories. We personally test dozens of trees each year in our homes, evaluating everything from the realistic appearance of PE needle tips to the sturdiness of metal stands under the weight of heavy ornaments. We assess how well pre-lit LED systems hold up over multiple seasons and whether flocked trees shed their artificial snow all over your carpet.
What sets us apart is our commitment to honest, experience-based guidance. We understand the difference between a cheap PVC tree that will droop after one season and a quality PE/PVC blend that will serve your family for a decade. We know which brands offer genuine warranties and responsive customer service. And we appreciate that for many families, a Christmas tree represents not just a decoration, but a centrepiece for precious memories and cherished traditions.
Our team regularly attends trade shows, maintains relationships with suppliers, and stays current with the latest innovations in artificial tree technology. From smart app-controlled lighting systems to sustainable materials and improved fire-retardant treatments, we keep our fingers on the pulse of the industry so you don't have to.
Whether you're setting up your first tree in a small apartment, upgrading to a statement piece for your family home, or seeking a commercial-grade display for your business, we're here to guide you every step of the way. Welcome to the Christmas Tree Australia family.
