Pineapple Christmas trees are the hot new holiday trend.

‘Tis the season to spread holiday cheer with holly, mistletoe, Christmas lights—and pineapples, apparently.

Pinterest gave way to the pineapple Christmas tree trend this year, inspiring a slew of crafty Instagram users to ditch the standard pine and take up a new holiday tradition.

As far as Christmas tree alternatives go, pineapples are rad because they’re cheap, portable, and compostable. They’re perfect for a desk at the office or a small apartment. 

You can make your own pineapple Christmas tree by trimming the unsliced fruit with lights, ornaments, and even a pair of sunglasses—or just “ooh” and “ahh” at these whimsical creations instead.
