Christree
The smiling face on the snowy trunk belongs to Christree, the talking Christmas tree who tells stories and sings to children. Before he begins, he asks them to count to three and switch on the lights, and the Christmas tree section of your garden centre becomes the spot where families gather.
Christmas stories, told by a fir tree
Christree takes children through the snowy forest and all the way to the North Pole, and ends every story with a Christmas song to sing all together. This animatronic talking tree, made in Italy and crafted with care down to the grain of its bark, brings to your theme park the wonder of a forest where the trees have stories to tell, and children listen spellbound.
Christree’s stories
Below you can hear Christree telling the story of the Christmas trees and the story of Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer.

The right answers to your questions
Can Christree be hired for one season, or is it better to buy it?
Christree is available to hire for the festive season or to buy, and either way it comes with a 2-year warranty, valid as long as the control unit and the system are inspected only by Menart-authorised operators.
Tell us when and where you want him to start talking, and we will send you a quote.
Can Christree be placed outdoors?
Christree is designed for indoor spaces: it has IP54 certification and must be kept between 10 and 25 °C, including when it is in storage. With a few adjustments it can sometimes go outdoors: ask Menart via the form at the bottom of the page.
It fits well in the covered square of a shopping centre, in an exhibition hall or in a toy shop.

Does Christree come with its crown and lights?
Yes, Christree comes with its fir crown and lights, together with the control unit, the start panel and the sound system, while the decorations on the crown change from display to display.
The face is made entirely of latex, and the mouth and eyelids move as he talks. Every story starts from a single push button, which you can fix to the fence within children’s reach.
The reindeer, the picket fence and the decorations in the photos are not included.
How much space does Christree need?
Christree is 120 cm wide, 80 cm deep and 180 cm high, crown included, and must stay at least 150 cm from the public, with a fence. It runs on 12 V and 220 V, and the manual and video instructions make assembly quick and simple.
Is Christree suitable for a garden centre?
Yes, Christree feels at home among the plants and decorations on sale, because one of his stories explains why we decorate the tree at Christmas. It is the tale of a little woodcutter lost in a snowstorm, saved by the branches of a fir, and of his family, who ever since have thanked the tree every festive season with garlands and festoons.
