One shopper shared a snap of the rainbow Christmas tree to Facebook page Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.

This just looks tacky, doesn’t look like a Christmas tree should.

The post was captioned: “Argos are selling a RAINBOW Christmas Tree for £35.”

Shoppers were quick to share their thoughts, with some people not impressed with the non-traditional tree.

One person said: “That is not a Christmas tree, long live the traditional Green tree, never see any ‘Rainbow trees’ in the forests.”
