But what about the ones that you can put in a box and store in a closet each year? I want to know how those are made.

[Reaper]

Was hoping to see the cheap artificial trees we use in our homes

[charlesdeliberis]

those are the ones that shopping malls put up, tell us how the regular ones are made that you put up in your homes

[Vgp-rpiu]

I've never had an artificial tree. We buy a live tree every year then after the holidays we plant it on our property. Been doing that for 13 years. All 13 of them are doing great with the biggest one over 20 ft tall now.

It's cool and all, but I expected it to be about the type of tree millions drag out of storage every year.

"How commercial Christmas trees are made" would have been a much more appropriate title

[marissawilder]

Decorating the tree is literally half the fun of Christmas tho!

[battlingbloom]

That's a thicc lookin tree





But seriously, how are the dusty Christmas trees from the depths of my dirty garage are made?

[sweetwillow]

I just wanted to see how the pieces of plastic pine needles ares made. I was wondering if it was with a machine. That is actually super fascinating that someone created a machine to do that!

I enjoy watching this program. It’s interesting to learn how things are made. I feel like I learn so much. I wish I could work in a factory. Where Christmas Trees are made. Granted the they are artificial. But their still beautiful and it doesn’t have to take away the joy. You get from decorating them at Christmas time. It just depends on the individual. Imho knowing I live alone. It’s no fun decorating a tree by myself. Since I would be the only one to see it. Merry Christmas Everyone! 😊

"if you want glitz, you can really go out on a limb." That pun knocked me out of the tree and I loved it.

[t.mumpfield]

Wish this was about the trees people buy in stores.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Teacher: What did you learn over the winter break?


Me: I learned how artificial Christmas trees are made

[itacryan]

Perfect timing for How It’s Made
You know because it’s Christmas.

It's Christmas time and the algorithm brought us here! 🍻 🎄

[StupiddGooses]

I expected a tree you would put in your house not a tree at town square

[LovingAtlanta]

👍Cool. I always did want to know how the branches and pine needle look was done. I imagine that the smaller artificial trees for people’s homes are made in much the same way with some variances and different shaped parts that people assemble themselves at home.

[jenniewright]

It makes me sad that some people buy them already decorated. Decorating the tree was something we always looked forward to as a kid and I still enjoy it now as an adult.

[LWWM]

I'll appreciate these even more knowing how it's made. Good job everyone!

[itacryan]

Imagine how many presents we could fit under that tree.
