Make the waiting part of the magic

There is more to the season than the day itself. Start with a few small moments worth sharing.

Decorate something together

Choose a tree, add your favorite details, and invite friends to leave a little piece of themselves. A shared tree can bring everyone closer, wherever they are.

Send a wish that feels like you

Think of someone who made your year brighter. A thank-you, a favorite memory, or a few kind words can become the gift they remember.

Make room for a small tradition

Put on a familiar song, make something warm to drink, or wrap a little surprise. There is no perfect way to celebrate, only your own.

When does this countdown end?

At midnight on December 25 in your device’s local time. On Christmas Day it displays a festive greeting; on December 26 it begins counting down to next Christmas.

Why is my friend’s countdown different?

Time zones and device clocks can differ. This timer follows your local clock. Wishes on a tree open according to the tree owner’s time zone, which may be different.

Is Deco My Tree free?

Yes. Creating a tree, sharing it and hanging wishes are all free.

When can I read my wishes?

On Dec 25. Until then every wish stays sealed: you can see who sent it, but not what it says.

Create your tree today.

Invite friends to decorate it and fill the branches with wishes.
