The Nightmare Before Christmas is an animated musical dark fantasy film directed by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a resident from “Halloween Town” who stumbles through a portal to “Christmas Town” and decides to celebrate the holiday, with some dastardly and comical consequences. This is a classic theme for Halloween parties and costumes, and if you want some for inspiration, this roundup is your choice because I’ve gathered some ideas for decor of such parties.
Nightmare Before Christmas Trees
A Halloween tree is getting more and more popular and there’s a reason for that: it’s a great focal point in your Halloween space, everything else can be created around it. A Nightmare Before Christmas tree is something in between Halloween and Christmas, which means that you rock it for both. It can be black, white or purple, and you can make some lovely ornaments of glass or felt that are themed and styled. Buy a bunch of simple glass ornaments and paint Jack Skellington face on them, go for lovely and cute themed felt pieces if you feel like a bit of sewing. Add lights, wrap your tree with a snake, go for a Jack Skellington prop standing next to the tree and voila.
