Halloween Christmas trees are our new favourite festive trend

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. 

Fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas will no doubt want to take note of @sin_sarah's eye-catching decorations including a Jack Skellington tree topper and baubles depicting the film's beloved characters. 

Don't want something too scary? Stick to orange leaves and pumpkins for a more autumnal feel like @anndreyhey.

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. 

@mekachu300's cobwebs and skulls can make for a more understated yet equally striking tribute to the two festive seasons. 

Jack Skellington would definitely approve of this eye-catching creation by @burtny_reynolds!

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!
