Ilex and the fastest DIY project ever
If your tastes are more restrained or you just don’t have much time for crafting, you can use ilex (by the way, did you know that it’s just holly without the leaves?) to create something as beautiful as this in just 26 seconds. Grab a clear vase, place three branches with bright red berries in it to adopt a minimalist expression, and you’re done.
Berry Christmas everybody!
If you still want to create a real classic Christmas atmosphere, opt for red berries which are so Christmassy on their own that you could easily skip the tree altogether. As beautiful as it may be, definitely don't eat the berries or let your pets near them to keep the festive cheer alive!
