Contemporary twig Christmas trees – are you a fan of them? Over the last few years we’ve been loving the twig Christmas trees that have been available. They’re sleek, stylish and more minimal than a traditional bushy fir tree and a good option for contemporary and modern homes.
Lots of the twig Christmas trees are designed to be used indoors only, but if you fancy having this style of tree in your garden, on your patio or lighting up the entrance to your home, there are some lovely outdoor versions available too.
They’re a good alternative if you can’t bear to not have a traditional tree indoors, but love the style of these. Get the best of both worlds by having one of these outside your home! Being artificial they also have the bonus of longevity and should last longer than one season (assuming they aren’t subject to bad weather!).
Here’s a selection of some of the best outdoor contemporary twig Christmas trees currently available (updated November 2016).

Five reasons to buy contemporary twig Christmas trees
If you’re still debating whether or not to buy an outdoor twig Christmas tree, then here are five reasons why they can be a good buy.
1. Multi-function
Although these contemporary twig Christmas trees are designed for outdoor use, there’s no reason why you can’t use them inside sometimes too. So you get better value for money than decorations that are bulky and only suitable for using outside.
2. Design
A lot of the contemporary twig Christmas trees are beautifully designed with a lovely natural look to them, so they blend in well with your outside space.
3. Ease of use
If you want to add some form of seasonal lighting to your garden, but hate having to faff around with hanging lights or other decorations, then a pre-lit contemporary twig tree is an easy option. Just put it together, plug it in and, voila, there’s a lovely lit tree in your garden.
4. Alternative
The twig style Christmas trees are a nice alternative to a traditional, green fir tree style Xmas tree. If you’re looking for a contemporary or modern option, then this form of tree fits the bill.
5. Year round use
The blossom style twig Christmas trees look so good that you could easily use them all year round at home or at special events. For example, as a garden lighting feature at a barbecue, to help decorate a wedding or party venue or even as a seasonal Easter tree.
