• One woman showed her disastrous Christmas tree purchase from an online retailer on social media
• The white tree she received was a far cry from the lush, full-bodied one displayed on the website
• Netizens flooded the comments with tree-hacking advice and witty remarks about the festive flop

Christmas tree shopping can be tricky, especially online. A woman recently shared her purchase gone wrong.

Scrawny Xmas tree unveiled

The TikTok video shows her unboxed white Christmas tree that was far from lush. Its skinny branches didn’t match the dreamy tree advertised online.

The clip on her account @abo.tle racked up over 190,000 views as viewers tuned in to see the disappointing decor fail.

Tip for buying the best Christmas tree

Shopping experts suggest not waiting until the last minute to buy your Christmas tree! Late shopping means fewer options and lower-quality trees. This helps to avoid the rush and ensure you snag the perfect tree for the festive season.
