Tips & Tricks for Handling Your Pre-Lit Tree With Care
When the holiday season is around the corner, it's time to start dreaming up your décor. Whether you're a seasoned stylist or decorating your very first space, King of Christmas is here to guide you every step of the way. Once your order arrives, there are a few essential tips to keep your pre-lit tree glowing beautifully and safely.
Our pre-lit trees are designed with low-voltage micro LED lights and are ready to shine right out of the box. But with just a little extra care and attention, you can protect your treeâs beauty and ensure its magic lasts for many seasons to comeâespecially if you have curious pets or little ones in the home.
đŸ Have Pets? Hereâs How to Keep Them Safe
For many, pets are part of the familyâso keeping them safe during the holidays is a top priority. Hereâs how to protect both your dĂ©cor and your furry friends:
-
Anchor your tree securely to avoid tipping if a pet gets curious.
-
Avoid placing fragile ornaments within reachâopt for soft or shatterproof alternatives.
-
Use soft, pet-friendly décor like ribbons instead of glass baubles.
-
Flocked tree? Donât worry if you notice a little flocking on the floor. Light shedding is normal, and the material is non-toxicâsimilar to whatâs used in stuffed animals.
đ¶ Child-Safe Placement Tips
A home filled with children brings joyâand lots of little hands exploring! Keep your little ones safe and your decorations intact by:
-
Placing the tree away from high-traffic areas or play zones
-
Hanging fragile ornaments higher on the tree
-
Using unbreakable ornaments and ensuring light cords are tucked securely out of reach

đŠ How (and Where) to Store Your Tree With Care
Once the final ornament is packed away and the season comes to a close, storing your King of Christmas tree properly will ensure it stays in excellent shape year after year.
Step 1: Remove Ornaments With Care
Place ornaments back in their original boxes or a protective container. Keep similar styles and colors grouped for easy access next year.
Step 2: Dust the Tree (For Green Trees Only)
Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust that may have collected. If you own a flocked tree, skip this stepâdusting can remove the delicate snowy texture.
Step 3: Disassemble Gently
Start from the top of the tree and remove each section in order. Wear gloves while handling branches to protect your hands.
Step 4: Pack It Properly
Every King of Christmas tree comes with a storage bag. Place the largest sections in first, followed by the smaller ones. Zip up the bag completely to keep dust and moisture out.Â
Step 5: Store in a Cool, Dry Space
Choose a spot thatâs dry and temperature-controlled. This will protect the tree's materials and lights from humidity or heat damage.
