CHRISTMAS is getting closer and closer, and many of us are already planning how to decorate for the festive period.
So if you need a new Christmas tree for the year, listen up, as M&S has just the buy.
The British retailer has launched a first-of-its-kind tree that will make decorating a breeze.
Marks & Spencer has recently launched the 6ft Pre-Lit Grand Fir Rotating Christmas Tree with a secret button that means you can see every angle of it.
Standing at six feet tall, it comes with an easy to assemble metal stand.
The Christmas tree also comes with 350 pre-lit LED warm light bulbs attached to the branches.
That means you won’t have to spend hours detangling last year’s lights.
But the best part is that you can have a full 360° view of all your decorations, as the tree rotates.
A secret button on a foot pedal at the bottom of the tree lets you activate the rotation mechanism or leave it stationary.
It means you can show off the whole tree with guests round or let your little ones decorate one side, while the grown-ups can perfect the rest.
But that’s not all, the iconic shop also has branch technology that helps you decorate your tree in seconds.
The Pre-lit Grand Fir Christmas Tree comes with 2,000 warm white lights which have 3 settings for twinkling or static modes and will add a magical touch to any room.
The lights are operated by a handy foot pedal that can be hidden out of sight.
Memory Branch technology makes your tree quick and simple to assemble. The branches are simple to arrange and will fall into place easily in future years.
People who have purchased the tree already have raved about just how easy it is to put together.
One wrote: “I highly recommend this tree it was so easy to put up.
“I was worried that I would need to add more lights but there is no need the lights are lovely warm, bright and plenty of them they are also placed very well.
Tips to make your home smell like Christmas
IF you want your home to smell festive this season, you’ve come to the right place…
