Part 1 of 2:

Building the Tree

1
Make the trunk of the tree out of 2 fences on top of each other.
2
Add the leaves. Make the leaves by putting 1 leaf block on top of the fences; stack them up more until they are the height you want them to be. Make a horizontal line from the bottom leaf that is the same length as the amount of blocks you put on top.

Fill out the shape. Form the shape of the tree by putting another horizontal line 1 block less than the other one. Build it up; continue doing this until you get to the top block.

Part 2 of 2:

Decorating (Optional)

1
Add a Christmas star. Add the star on top by putting 1 fence on the top of the tree and put a stack of 4 glowstone on top of the fence. Put 1 glowstone block right next to the top one and connect another one right next to it. Then connect one underneath the one you put next to the top one; break the one you put next to the top one and then put one next to the bottom one. Repeat this process upside down, and after that do the same on the other side; it should now look as shown in the picture.
2
Add presents under the tree. When it is close to Christmas. Minecraft changes to festive and makes the chests look like presents. Put chests under the tree and put stuff you really like inside those chests. Then wait until Christmas to open the chests/presents and then take the stuff you like.
3
Decorate the tree with snow. To make it look like Christmas, take snow decoration block and add it onto the leaves.

Question

How do I get Glowstone for the decorations?

Community Answer

Glowstone can be harvested in the Nether. To get to the Nether, you'll need to create a Nether Portal from Obsidian. Obsidian can be obtained by pouring water on lava and then mining it with a Diamond Pickaxe. Create a frame out of 10 pieces of Obsidian and light it to access the Nether.

You could use wool to make the presents and sea pickles as the rope, or you could wait until it's Christmas, and use the present texture of the chest (only works in Java edition).
