Christmas Tree Get the Look: Midnight Frost Edition

Whether you love a classic Christmas tree theme or something new and exciting each year, Michelle, our fabulous Seasonal Buyer, curates a range for all each Christmas at Haskins!

Now celebrating her 20th Haskins Christmas, Michelle is here to share her tips for recreating our displays at home.

Michelle’s Guide to a Midnight Frost Tree

Cool, crisp and full of sparkle, Midnight Frost combines deep blues with frosty whites, silver and glass for a real winter wonderland feel.

Across our two displays, we’ve created two takes on the theme – one filled with icy sparkle and metallic details, and another bringing in some of our favourite winter characters.

Here’s how our team created the look!

 

The Foundations – Tree Choice & Lights

For our Midnight Frost displays, we’ve used the 9ft pre-lit Newberry Spruce Slim and 7.5ft pre-lit Dual Colour Newberry Spruce, both trees are exclusive to Haskins.

To transform the warm pre-lit trees and bring out those cooler tones, we’ve layered in our ‘enchanted tree lights’ from The Yuletide Company (exclusive to Haskins). Mixing the warm and blue lights creates a beautiful contrast and gives the trees their frosty glow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wow Factor – Frosted Floristry

Snowy branch picks and stems of mini snowballs are worked throughout both trees, extending beyond the tree to create a fuller, frost-covered look.

We’ve carried the picks right to the top too, using them in place of a traditional tree topper to add extra height.

The Bells & Whistles – Baubles & Ornaments

For the baubles, we’ve layered shades from deep midnight blue through to softer blues, alongside white and silver. Mixing matte, glittered, shiny and glass finishes gives the trees plenty of depth and, of course, sparkle!

Our first display features oversized snowballs, statement silver bells, pinecones, mini sparkling Christmas trees and cosy gonks.

The second has a more playful winter feel, with penguins, seals, owls and oversized snowflakes amongst the branches. Icicles and a sweet garland of miniature mittens add those final frosty details, with a pair of owls nestled amongst the branches at the very top.

Michelle and our Seasonal teams have such an eye for detail, and it’s all these little layers that bring each display together.
