Granted, it won't last long, especially if presented to a group of enthusiastic carnivores. Yet that is the true testament of the Bacon Christmas Tree, that it will delight both the eyes and the stomach. Created by Oh, Bite It!, the Bacon Christmas Tree might seem like a haphazard creation at first, yet it is actually carefully crafted. It is made out of three to four pounds of bacon, each strip of which are cut in half and baked separately in a muffin pan. The pieces are then piled high and glued with [vanilla or maple frosting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hash-brown-topple-tower) together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Bacon Christmas Trees:** Creating unconventional holiday decorations using food products like bacon. - **Bacon as Art:** Using bacon to create unique and visually appealing culinary creations. - **Festive Food Decor:** Exploring the fusion of food and decoration to enhance holiday celebrations. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunities for innovative food products and culinary experiences using unconventional ingredients. - **Event Planning and Decor:** Incorporating inventive and edible decorations into event planning and design. - **Culinary Arts and Education:** Exploring unconventional culinary techniques and teaching unique food presentation methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Meatball Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggieball-christmas-tree.md) - [Decorative Caramel-Filled Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-caramel-tree.md) - [Celebratory Bacon Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cake.md) - [Bacon-Scented Wrapping Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-bacon-wrapping-paper.md) - [Christmas Tree Pancake Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-pancake-kit.md) - [Tobacco-Scented Holiday Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-high-light.md) - [Christmas Tree-Shaped Veggie Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-holiday-trees.md) - [Festive Meat-Made Holiday Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charcuterie-chalet-kit.md) - [Holiday Meal-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-dinner-pizza.md)
