    Okay, so it won’t take the place of a real Christmas tree (which my husband will probably run out and get the first weekend of December), but the Disney Tabletop Christmas Tree that Collectibles Today sent me will sure be a nice addition to our Christmas decor! Between it and the crystal holiday tree I’m definitely all over the Disney one, if for no other reason that it includes Beauty and the Beast (which my daughter loves) and Winnie the Pooh (which I love).

    The Disney Tabletop Christmas Tree arrived securely packaged in a large box and form-fitting Styrofoam about a week and a half ago. When my husband brought it out yesterday evening my kids’ reactions were pretty much variations of, “Oooh!” and, “Ahh!”. Ryan was immediately attracted to the trains that go around two tiers of the tree. He was also upset that the train on the very top tier is stationery; he kept pushing on it in the hopes that it would move.

    Once turned on, the Disney Tabletop Christmas Tree lights up, two of the trains and the tiers of characters move, and a medley of instrumental Christmas music plays (there’s also an option to just have the tree lit and moving, but with no music).

    Here’s a video showing the tree in action, and Alyssa’s and Ryan’s reactions:


    Sorry that it’s sideways — I can’t figure out how to rotate it!

    This review is a result of a feedback campaign by Collectibles Today. I was asked to give an honest opinion about the product I received. Good reviews are not incentivized and poor reviews will not be censored for the opinion of the product.
