Your first Christmas tree on Deco My Tree

Make a tree, send its link to people you care about, and collect their Christmas wishes as ornaments. Creating a tree, sharing it, and sending a standard text wish are free.

1. Make the tree yours

Create your tree. Enter the name you want people to see, then choose a tree style, a topper, and a background. Sign in when asked to save it.

There are eight tree styles, six toppers, and three backgrounds. Each account can create one tree per season. You can change its appearance later from Tree settings → Edit look.

2. Share the actual tree link

When the tree is ready, choose Share my tree → Copy link. Send that link to a friend, your family, or a group chat. The link opens your particular tree; sending the homepage address does not take friends straight to it.

People can view the tree without signing in. They need to sign in before sending a wish. No app download is needed.

3. Leave a wish on a friend's tree

Open your friend's link and choose Leave a wish. Write your message and signature, select an ornament, and check the preview before sending. There are twenty standard ornaments to choose from.

Check the recipient, message, and privacy choices before you send:

• Hide my name displays your signature as Anonymous to the tree owner and visitors. You still sign in to send. The service retains the sending-account link for operation and moderation.
• Let others read it allows visitors to read the message after the reveal. Leave it off for a private wish.

When do the messages open?

The tree owner can read wishes from December 25, according to that tree's time zone. Before then, the owner can see the ornaments and any visible signatures while the messages stay sealed.

Senders can read their own wishes. Other visitors can read a message after opening day only if its sender chose public reading. Authorized operators may review messages for support and safety; a sealed wish is not end-to-end encryption.

Trees accept wishes until January 1. Owners can pause incoming wishes in Tree settings and reopen them before collection closes.

A few sign-in tips

Google sign-in currently uses the platform's AppBox authentication service, so the Google sign-in screen can show that name. After signing in, you return to Deco My Tree.

Use the same sign-in method when you come back. Different methods create separate accounts, even if they use matching email addresses.

Phone accounts currently do not verify number ownership by SMS and do not have password recovery. Keep your password safe. If you use a social account, use that provider's recovery options when necessary.

Need a hand?

Choose Feedback in the menu to describe a problem. Include the relevant tree link and what you expected to happen. Never send your password. Include private message details only when they are necessary to explain the issue.

Read the Privacy Policy for the full explanation of message visibility and staff access.

Create your Christmas tree and invite the first friend to leave a wish.
