Christmas Tree

What is Christmas Tree?

Christmas Tree is a lightweight macOS lifestyle app that adds a floating holiday tree to your desktop and counts down the days until Christmas. It is designed for users who want a seasonal decoration on their Mac without turning it into a full game or screensaver. The app lets you place the tree on your desktop, resize it to fit your screen, and keep it visible above other windows when you want a festive always-on-top effect. Users can customize visual details such as the star, lights, ornaments, and available tree styles to match their preference. Its main use case is simple desktop decoration and holiday countdown viewing during the Christmas season. Christmas Tree is published by Milo Hill and offered as a free Mac app for macOS 12 and later.

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This app’s behavior is consistent with a simple desktop decoration utility. It runs as a normal Mac app and its visible features are focused on on-screen display and appearance settings rather than sensitive system changes. If you no longer want the holiday overlay, removing the app should only affect the decoration and its saved preferences.

Recommendation: Keep Christmas Tree if you enjoy a seasonal desktop countdown or festive decoration on your Mac. If you do not use it outside the holiday season, it is reasonable to remove it and reinstall it later when you want it again.
