XXL poinsettia: The construction trends for 2025 are conquering the gardens!
In the run-up to Christmas it's that time again: DIY euphoria has broken out! How Northern Courier reports, hardware stores from Rostock to Prenzlau are a popular destination for hobbyists and creative minds. During the last Advent season, entire pallets of wooden blocks used to make impressive poinsettias disappeared from many stores. The XXL poinsettia, which is made up of five wooden trestles, has gained popularity thanks to sensational social media videos and is now one of the most popular decoration trends.
The situation will be no different in 2025: numerous wooden trestles are already available in parking lots, often with a finished sample star. A poinsettia made from 75-centimeter rams stands an impressive height of around 1.6 to 1.8 meters. So if you are still looking for a creative way to decorate your home festively, you should take action now!
Materials and construction instructions
The materials required are manageable and available at hardware stores such as Hornbach, OBI, Globus and toom. These providers also offer practical instructions and shopping lists on their websites that make assembly easier. To create the poinsettia you need:
- Fünf Holzböcke
- Zehn Metallwinkel
- Holzschrauben
- Kabelbinder
- Wetterschutzlack
- Eine LED-Lichterkette

A touch of folklore
But it's not just the Christmas decorations that captivate people. Cultural aspects also play a role in the run-up to Christmas. The Cantigas de roda, a type of folklore song, is particularly popular among children. These simple and rhythmic songs, often sung and danced in a circle, provide insight into social and cultural traditions. The texts are anonymous and have been adapted to different contexts over the years.
Some of the most famous cantigas de roda are “Ciranda, Cirandinha”, “Atirei o Pau no Gato” and “Peixe Vivo”. These songs show how simple melodies and lyrics can be preserved and developed across generations.
Whether you build a festive poinsettia or indulge in song, the anticipation of the holiday is palpable. Also the new digital possibilities Office, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, offer support for anyone who likes to plan and organize digitally, be it DIY projects or preparing for Christmas.
In any case, the list of activities in the cold season is varied. Grab the wooden trestles, swing the brush or sing in a circle! Christmas is just around the corner, and with a little creativity and anticipation, it's sure to be a successful celebration!
