Christmas Greenery Picks, 20 Pieces of Frosted Pine and Red Berry Stems for Vases

A set of artificial Christmas greenery picks: ten pine stems frosted white as though snow had settled on them overnight, and ten picks of glossy red berries to tuck in among them. Stand them in a vase on the coffee table, push them into a plain wreath on the door or lay them along the mantel. The room picks up the green, white and red of the season in a few minutes.

Nothing to water. No needles dropping onto the table by the end of the week. When the season is over they go back in the box, ready to come out again next year.

Frost on the pine, and the red goes wherever you want it

Each pine stem is a slim sprig about 14 inches long, with fine sage-green needles on a row of side shoots and soft clumps of white frost along their tops. The green shows through the frost all the way along. That is what makes it read as snow on a branch, not a stem sprayed white. Below the needles is a length of bare wire stem, so the sprig slides into a vase, a wreath or a garland and stays where you put it.

The berries come on their own short picks, seven glossy red berries to each one. Because they are separate from the pine, you decide where the color goes: a few through the middle of a vase, one beside every sprig in a wreath, or a single pick at each place setting. The wire stems bend. A sprig that comes out of the box too straight can be curved to follow a wreath or to droop over the rim of a jug.

What one set makes, and when two is better

One set of twenty stems fills a medium vase with a loose, airy spray, the berries sitting in among the pine through the middle. That suits a coffee table, a hall console or the end of a dining table. The room feels festive, and the arrangement does not take over the surface.

The very full, rounded bunches in a lot of Christmas photographs use about twice as much greenery. If that is the look you are after, for a big jug by the fireplace or a statement piece on a sideboard, two sets will get you there.

A vase, a wreath, a mantel and the parcels under the tree

Push a few frosted sprigs and berry picks into the front of a plain green wreath and it looks finished straight away. Lay them along a mantel garland between the candles, or down the dinner table on a linen runner. One pine sprig with a berry pick tucked under the twine of a brown-paper parcel does the job of a bow. Twenty stems, and the house looks dressed from the front door to the dinner table.
