The Florida Christmas Trees
This competition included a Florida themed Christmas tree. This allowed decorators to use their imagination and join Florida themes and Christmas in a very unique way. Ocean Conservationist Lisa Miceli, who won the Florida Tree competition, went all out on her Stoked on Salt Christmas tree. Her tree included sea themed decorations like a dive mask, sea horses, sailboat, mermaid and other ornaments that brought the tree to life in a truly Floridian way.
Be Our Guests Apartments out of Fort Lauderdale added Florida flair with an alligator, and Publix bag. They brought Florida to Christmas but in a way all their own.
