Selecting the perfect Christmas tree, whether real or artificial, is one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season—though it’s only rivaled by the fun of decorating it. The more you adorn your tree, the more festive it becomes, with everything from ornaments and tinsel to Christmas lights. But the most remarkable and festive trend we’ve noticed this year is a train that floats in mid-air while circling the Christmas tree. It’s become a popular sight everywhere.

From TikTok to Instagram, the Sratte Electric Christmas Tree Train, among others, is gaining popularity as people discover the charm it brings to their holiday decor. This electric train operates on four AA batteries, and unlike most traditional trains that stay on the floor tracks, it can either be placed on the ground or mounted on the tree trunk itself, mid-tree.

This four-car train includes eight adjustable tracks, each measuring 13.4 inches in length, ensuring it fits perfectly around your tree, whether placed at the base or higher up. It lights up and features realistic train sounds, with the option to turn them on or off using a switch.

Along with two main cars carrying coal, gifts, and passengers, the front locomotive is adorned with gold highlights and a window showing the conductor at the helm. The set also includes a one-of-a-kind caboose—Santa is seen waving as he rides in his sleigh.

Now, for the most thrilling part: the mid-tree suspension. To position the track halfway up the tree so it appears to float, the 5.9-inch by 5.9-inch suspension holder and bracket attaches to the trunk. It adjusts to the tree's width using four large screws that can be tightened or loosened as necessary, then the track can be placed on top of the holder.

There’s still time to decorate your tree with the Sratte Electric Christmas Tree Train, which is currently available for just $49 on Amazon. Place it on the floor or mount it to the tree trunk for an extra touch of Christmas magic. Explore more enchanting holiday trains below.
