Home Depot Is Selling a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree We Can’t Pass Up
The holidays are right around the corner, so there’s no better time to cozy up with your favorite Hallmark flick and enjoy a mug of steaming hot cocoa. Of course, it’s not quite Christmas without festive decor to transform your living room into Santa’s workshop. If it’s Christmas trees you’re looking for, you have plenty of options this year, from succulent Christmas trees to half Christmas trees for the smallest spaces.
The Christmas tree we’re opting for this year, however, is a little more sparse and a whole lot cuter than the traditional Tannenbaum. Home Depot is selling an adorable Charlie Brown Christmas tree, and good grief—it’s the only decoration we need this year.
This Little Tree Isn’t Bad at All, Really
While we may have missed It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown this year, that doesn’t mean we have to go without our favorite Peanut Christmas special. Pay homage to a timeless holiday classic with Home Depot’s Charlie Brown-inspired Christmas tree—which looks exactly how you might expect. This 24-inch tree appears to have popped right out of Peanuts, and it’s more of a collection of branches than an actual tree, complete with a wooden base, Linus’ blue blanket and a single red ornament. (Because what’s a Christmas tree without at least one?)

Not only does the Charlie Brown Christmas tree look cute (and act as the perfect table topper), it also plays the Peanuts classic “Christmastime Is Here.” Can you think of anything sweeter to cozy up next to this year?!
Where to Find Yours
This tree is available online and in-store at Home Depot for around $18, but if you search the web, you can find it elsewhere, too. Bed, Bath & Beyond is selling an identical tree—complete with Linus’ blanket and musical capability—for just $16 this holiday season. You won’t be able to find it in-store at Bed, Bath & Beyond, so you’ll have to order this guy online.
If you’re on the hunt for Christmas decorations this year, there’s nothing better to add to your collection than a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. We don’t know about you, but we’re already in the holiday spirit!
