Christmas Trees can be used as a means of fannish expression, often by decorating them with pieces of merchandise or Fancrafts from one's chosen fandom.

Elements

  • Tree topper - The largest and most prominent decoration. Traditionally a star, plushies or headwear (such as the Hogwarts Sorting Hat, or Darth Vader's helmet) can sometimes be used.
  • Ornaments - many large and merchendisable fandoms have official ornament sets, and sites such as etsy offer handmade fan alternatives.
  • Tree Skirt
    • Train set

Itatree

In anime communities, the term Itatree, a reference to fan-made Itabags, may sometimes be used to describe tree's decorated around a specific character, often one's Waifu/Husbando or Oshi. Due to the prevalence of Keychains in anime fancrafts, they will sometimes be repurposed as ornaments. The term Itatree was first coined in 2015 to describe a Kuroko no Basuke themed tree decorated with MidoAka figures[1].
