# Canned Christmas Trees The Mountain Dew Tree is Illuminatingly Festive By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-dew-tree References: [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/dewtree) & [mdewtree](http://mdewtree.com/) There have been a lot of [eco-friendly Christmas trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lit-by-sht) created this holiday season, but I don't think any of them have looked as good as the Mountain Dew Tree by David Barshow and his friends, which was created out of 400 cans of Mountain Dew. Granted, there have been some spectacularly big and imaginative ones, but this one looks particularly festive. Considering that the Mountain Dew Tree is naturally green and red due to the colors of the drink's logo, it already has a Christmas-y feel. Add the lights that shimmer beautifully off of the shiny cans, and you have yourself quite the stunner. Of course, the Mountain Dew bottle "star" is the kicker. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Christmas Trees:** Opportunity for innovation in creating more sustainable and environmentally friendly Christmas tree options. - **Creative Christmas Tree Designs:** Opportunity for designers and artists to create unique and visually stunning Christmas tree concepts. - **Branded Christmas Trees:** Opportunity for brands to create promotional and branded Christmas trees to engage their audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sustainable Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in developing eco-friendly packaging solutions for beverages and other products. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of art and design for creating unconventional and eye-catching installations. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for brands to leverage unique and creative marketing strategies through branded experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Greeting-Card-Inspired Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-can-cards.md) - [Festive Tree Keg Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-tree-keg-stand.md) - [Tobacco-Scented Holiday Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-high-light.md) - [Fruitcake-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-quake.md) - [Recycled Wood Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-christmas-tree-alternative.md) - [Festive Tree-Inspired Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-tree-mugs.md) - [Cutout Christmas Tree Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-tree-display.md) - [Festive Bamboo Tissues Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackatree.md) - [Decorative Caramel-Filled Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-caramel-tree.md)
