The charming Christmas tree house looks like something Santa’s elves would live in. The house has cutout windows and doors, which could even inspire the creation of a more elaborate treehouse with balconies. To get to the top tier of the tree, the house has a tall ladder that extends through the floors. Small figurines, other [paper craft shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoville-moc) and stickers make excellent decorations for the play house, which can be decorated to one’s heart content just like a [real Christmas tree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-friendly-holiday-tree).
