Why an artificial Christmas tree is better for allergy sufferers

For many families, the decorated Christmas tree is the centerpiece of the Advent season. But for allergy sufferers, the anticipation can quickly become a burden. What many don't realize is that a real tree brings with it not only needles and resin—but often also unwanted companions like mold spores, pollen, or insects. Sensitive individuals or children with respiratory illnesses in particular suffer from a dry cough, watery eyes, or persistent sneezing during this festive season.

The silent shutter in the living room

A freshly cut Christmas tree may look harmless, but its surface is often covered with fine mold spores. These are formed by moisture in the forest or during storage. They spread particularly quickly in the warm, heated air of the living room. Pollen residue, dust, and small insects hiding between needles and branches can also trigger allergic reactions.

The solution: An artificial Christmas tree

A high-quality artificial Christmas tree offers a hygienic and safe alternative. No resin, no spores, no surprises. The materials – usually PE or PVC – are harmless, durable, and easy to clean. For allergy sufferers, this makes a noticeable difference: their noses stay clear, their eyes don't water – and the enjoyment of the Christmas season is undiminished.

Good for you. Good for your family.
