A look back at Bec Judd’s controversial Christmas trees, from a bare Scandi-style number made from recycled branches to a beautifully decorated fir tree

Bec Judd has unveiled her Christmas tree for 2022 – after memorably shocking fans with an anemic Scandi-style tree six years ago.

The 39-year-old AFL shocked fans with the infamous tree made from recycled branches in 2016.

She continued to use the nude number for years before ditching it when she moved into her $7.3 million home in Brighton, Melbourne.

But this year she opted for a traditional and beautifully decorated tree for the holidays, to be placed in the living room.

The mother-of-four unveiled the stylish fir tree, which appears to have white fake snow all over it, on an Instagram feed and revealed her children helped her decorate it.

“It’s that time of year,” she wrote. “Grateful for my healthy, happy, massive family (even though I seem to yell at them 90% of the time).”

Her tree has large floral accents, pink, silver and gold baubles, and little strings of lights throughout.

It also includes a number of animated trinkets, including the gold star treetop.

She had the same thing in 2021 and 2020, although previously she stood by her abstract tree, which was criticized for its lack of exuberance.

In 2018, she told Nine Honey: “We’ve used it every year for the last four years and will use it again.”

Bec said she prefers “monotone trees” – an all white or green tree that is then decorated with ornaments.

She added, “Not multi-colored with stuff everywhere — because that would make my head spin — pick two colors and that’s it.” But go big, think more is more, just everything the same way.

However, she abandoned the tree, which had previously been criticized on social media as “depressing” and “uncelebratory”, when she moved into her own home in 2019.

At the time, Rebecca said she would put up a white Target Christmas tree, having recently created a campaign with the Budget department store.

She said: ‘How’s that for breaking news? You know my “ugly stick tree” that I am always afraid of [for] every year when I put it on Instagram?

“Very expensive, this tree. Anyway, the tree is gone. It didn’t move.’

Rebecca has owned her “eco-friendly” pole tree since 2012 and previously boasted that it was made entirely from recycled materials

In 2017, she infamously told listeners that her pole tree was “not going anywhere”.

“It’s going to be with me and my family until the day I die, so suck it up!” she said at the time in response to the backlash on Instagram.

For several years in a row, Instagram trolls criticized the Christmas tree as “pretentious,” “horrible” and “lacking warmth.”

One person said: “Sorry I don’t like this at all. Not very exciting for the kids. Where is the green, the lights and the heat?’

Another wrote: “Horrible, very disappointing. Where is the traditional tree? What’s next, a stick figure bunny for Easter?”

Bec and her Footy star husband Chris also share son Oscar (10) and daughter Billie (7) and twins Tom and Darcy (all pictured).
