Three Halloween-themed Christmas trees with decorations like pumpkins and caution tape.

Halloween Christmas trees have taken Instagram by storm! The new craze sees people around the world already putting up their trees, but with a spooky twist. Instead of baubles and tinsel, they've been using fake cobwebs and ghost-themed trinkets to adorn their festive masterpieces.

Want to try it yourself? We've rounded up some of our favourites to get you inspired this Halloween…

We're loving the way @paulyg91 has enveloped his tree with fake cobwebs, adding bat decorations and orange lights for a statement finish.

We love the way @julie.timmons.25 has topped off her tree with a witch's hat and draped wall decorations around the branches for a fitting tribute to the spooky season.

Take a leaf out of @mamareesa's book and add hang a glow-in-the-dark skeleton from your tree for a great day-to-night party feature.

You don't need to commit to a full Christmas tree to get the effect - it can work on any plant. Simply add pumpkins and scary decorations like the ones @mandajoon found during a day out.

Dig out orange baubles and tinsel for a festive feel, and add Halloween feature decorations like @jo_may_the_fourth_be_with_you has done with her nods to The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Black cats, skulls, witches' hats and skeletons dotted around the tree's branches will be sure to make your guests do a double take - we're loving @felipizle's purple spiderweb too!
