Until recently, we assumed there were only a few options when it came to holiday trees. Then we rewatched arguably Tim Burton's best film and are opting for a The Nightmare Before Christmas tree. Plus, if you refuse to let go of Halloween, the spooky animated flick will not only give you all the October 31st feels and get you ready for Christmas. If you haven't seen The Nightmare Before Christmas, you may want to make it your family's must-watch movie this year.

It follows the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. Skellington gets word of Christmas and wants to bring the festive celebration to his creepy, eerie community. As you may be able to guess, madness ensues, making it the perfect family-friendly holiday movie. Here's the thing, though: The Nightmare Before Christmas was released in 1993 and, nearly 30 years later, it's making a comeback in a big way.

That's right; The Nightmare Before Christmas has made its way to TikTok, giving the next generation something to inspire their Christmas decor. That's why The Nightmare Before Christmas trees are seemingly everywhere. That's what we can expect with #nightmarebeforechristmas boasting more than two billion views on TikTok.

So if you want to jump on the scary Christmas decor bandwagon, we'd suggest a black artificial tree. Our favorite? A three-foot (or 7.5-foot) black Christmas tree from Wayfair. Did we mention it's on sale for almost half off?

Next, think about some on-theme ornaments in the shape of The Nightmare Before Christmas's favorite characters, including, of course, Jack Skellington. This set from Target is only $13!

So this holiday season, transform your space into your own personal Halloween Town that even Burton would be proud of. Gone are the days of decorations in the typical gold, silver, green, and red palette because this year, it's all about black and orange.
