Pineapple Christmas tree anyone? It's THE trend taking over Instagram right now
Things are set to get fruity this festive season...
Another day, another alternative Christmas tree offering. This time fans of the festive season are reaching into the humble fruit bowl to channel their creative Christmas tree juices - and the results are pretty amazing.
More bargain trees: This week Lidl are branching out by selling REAL Christmas trees – from just £16.99!
With a green tree-like crown crafters are already halfway there when it comes to fashioning the tropical fruit into a mini Christmas tree. And with the addition of a few baubles, a dash of glitter and an hour or two carved out of the day you could be the proud owner of your very own pineapple Christmas tree.
Behold the humble pineapple Christmas tree
We take a look at some of the finest examples on the net...

Draped in snow effect green tinsel and adorned in red, green and gold baubles we can hardly believe the tasty fruit is lurking underneath.
The upside down one
Turning the pineapple Christmas tree trend on its head - quite literally - we love this minimally decorated tree. We might just give this a go ourselves the next time we head off for a dose of winter sun.
The understated one

The whole pineapple has got the blinged up treatment this time round. The decorative star on top is a nice finishing touch too.
