One of the best things about Christmas is decorating the Christmas tree! Whether or not you decorate a tree with collected family ornaments or with a fun wintery theme, the flocked tree is a perfect backdrop to your decor. Over the years the flocked tree has grown in popularity because what’s not to like? The white, fluffy flocking looks so much like snow and what’s more Christmas-y than snow!?

Lucy at Craftberry Bush found the perfect combination of snowy goodness when she added the extra “snow” on the branches to make it look more heavily flocked. Although it’s not really flocking at all. Check out how she made the tree full of “snow” here.
My Flocked Farmhouse Christmas Tree
In 2017 I flocked my own tree and decorated with gorgeous wooden sign ornaments, cotton stems, lamb’s ear, wooden bead garland and other natural elements. I LOVED it!
Liz Marie didn’t even need to decorate her flocked trees, because they are so beautiful bare. I have a “naked” flocked tree in my bedroom this year {see it here} and I LOVE it! Find my favorite inexpensive flocked trees here.

Where to Buy the BEST Pre-Lit Flocked Christmas Trees
Now, let’s chat about some of the the best pre-lit flocked Christmas trees out there. Just in case you’re trying to find one to decorate your beautiful your home.
I have several of these inexpensive flocked trees in my home. I have both the 7.5 ft, 6.5 ft and 4 ft. sizes and always want to go back for more so that I can create a winter wonderland in my home. They have sturdy tree stands and hinged branches for easy set up and take down!
I have the pre-lit Christmas tree versions, which I love. While I don’t normally love a pre-lit tree, these are necessary. I love how the flocking it on the lights as well as the branches and keeps them camouflaged in the tree. If I were to add white led lights to a pre-flocked tree, the lights wouldn’t blend in as well, I don’t think.
What is a Flocked Christmas Tree?
The history of flocking dates back as early as the 1800’s when people used flour, corn starch or cotton to give their real Christmas trees a snowy appearance. The trend became very popular in the 1950’s and 60’s when home flocking kits were popular.
Flocking literally means attaching tiny fibers to a surface to create texture. It can be attached to any surface, not just trees. The appearance of the fibers create a snow-like textured effect. The actual flocking materials today include paper pulp such as fiber, corn starch as adhesive, and boron as a flame retardant.
And if you try, like me, to flock your own tree, it’s a white powder that if sifted over the tree branches and adheres when it comes in contact with water. You can read all about how I DIY’d my flocked tree here.
After a couple of years, I donated this tree because the homemade flocking kit shed so much more than the trees that you buy already flocked. So, I’ve decided to stick with pre-flocked Christmas trees going forward!
