There are different in-store classes being run throughout the month of December, including a 'Real Tree Rules' masterclass that provides tips on getting the most out of a real Christmas tree and a 'Treetorial' with tree-decorating tips from a stylist. There are also family-specific classes such as the 'Family Tree' masterclass, which spotlights how to create a magical experience for children at Christmastime.
