1st Advent in Ireland – Start Your Christmas Season with MagicChristmas.ie

The 1st Advent is a special moment in the Christmas season. It’s the quiet beginning – the first candle, the first cosy evenings, and for many homes in Ireland, the moment when the Christmas preparations officially begin.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to put up your tree and start decorating, 1st Advent is the perfect excuse.

In this blog, we’ll look at what 1st Advent means, how to celebrate it at home, and how a premium artificial Christmas tree from MagicChristmas.ie can help you create a magical start to the festive season.

What Is the 1st Advent?

The First Sunday of Advent marks the beginning of the Advent season – the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. Traditionally, it’s a time of:

• Lighting the first Advent candle
• Slowing down and reflecting
• Preparing the home and heart for Christmas

For many families in Ireland, 1st Advent is also becoming the unofficial start of Christmas decorating – especially for the tree, wreaths, and warm lights.

1st Advent: The Perfect Time to Put Up Your Christmas Tree

If you’re wondering when to put up your Christmas tree, 1st Advent is a beautiful choice:

• It gives you plenty of time to enjoy the lights and decorations
• It helps you ease into December feeling organised
• It turns that first Sunday into a cosy family tradition

A lot of our customers at MagicChristmas.ie tell us they:

• Put up their artificial Christmas tree on or just before 1st Advent
• Light the first Advent candle
• Spend the evening together decorating, playing Christmas music and taking photos

It’s a simple way to create a yearly ritual everyone looks forward to.

Why Choose a Premium Artificial Christmas Tree for Advent?

If you want your tree to last from 1st Advent right through Christmas and into the New Year, a premium artificial tree is ideal.

A MagicChristmas.ie artificial Christmas tree means:

• No dropping needles – your floor and pets will thank you
• You can put it up early without worrying it will dry out
• You get a full, realistic look for the whole season
• You can reuse it for many Christmases to come

Our trees are designed with:

• High-quality PE and PVC tips for a natural, real-tree appearance
• Strong, hinged branches that are easy to shape
• A structure that looks impressive from every angle once fluffed properly

So when you decorate for 1st Advent, your tree already looks like something from a showroom.

Simple Ways to Celebrate 1st Advent at Home

You don’t need a big event to make 1st Advent feel special. A few simple touches can create a lovely atmosphere:

• Light the first Advent candle on a wreath or candle holder
• Play a quiet Christmas playlist in the background
• Make hot chocolate, tea or mulled wine
• Switch on your Christmas tree lights for the first time this year
• Add a wreath to your front door or a garland to your mantel or stairs

These small rituals signal to everyone at home: Christmas has officially started.

• Full, realistic wreaths
• Beautiful garlands to match your tree

All designed to work together for a harmonious, cosy look.
