With the year we've had, it's not a surprise that so many of us have put our Christmas decorations up early.
In an attempt to spread some festive joy, Brits have been decking their halls with as many ornaments as deemed appropriate before their living rooms start to resemble Santa's grotto.
But there’s nothing worse than the look of a wilting Christmas tree - something we'll expect to see sooner than usual, reports RSVP Live.
Keeping your tree fresh and moist throughout the whole holiday season can be a little tricky.
But not anymore as we have a hack that can make the task much easier - and you only need one item - 7Up.
Yes, you heard correctly.
Other than checking your tree's water level every day to make sure there is two inches of water at the base of the tree, experts at Hanleys Garden Centre and Christmas Shop in Cork, Ireland says you should be watering it with 7Up.
The fizzy lemon and lime drink is the key to a hydrated tree - three parts water and one part 7Up to be precise.
Explaining the method behind the madness, the gardeners said that the sugar in the 7Up will help feed the tree and keep it fresher and living longer.
According to a Q&A on Gardens Alive, 7Up is the "best addition" to watering your tree and should be added, along with water, every few days.
The post says: "It really helps preserve the tree.
"Cut flowers (yes, and trees) like the sugar and citric acid, and some folks feel that the natural lemon-lime flavoring may act as a preservative as well."
Try it for yourself!
