Let the decorations tell part of your holiday stream’s story. Christmas Tree Widget puts a rotating spruce into your broadcast and responds to specified stream events with tinsel, ornaments, stars, and lights. The free 3D widget gives community activity a seasonal visual result rather than leaving the tree as decoration alone.
You can resize the spruce to put it on your stream. Decide where it belongs by looking at the scene as a whole: a camera-led holiday conversation may have different space available from a game with a busy interface. The tree can be part of either arrangement when you leave it an appropriate area.
What each event adds
Every 500 bits or kicks adds tinsel to the tree. Individual subscriptions add a round Christmas ornament. These are different reactions, giving those forms of support their own contribution to the tree’s appearance.
Gifted subscriptions add gold star ornaments. A gift of 1-5 subs adds a gold star ornament; increments of 5 give more stars, such as 10 gifted subs for 2 stars and 15 for 3 stars. Keep those quantities in mind when explaining the tree to viewers, rather than describing every gifted subscription as a separate star.
At 30 total subscriptions, a gold tree topper star is added. This is distinct from the gold star ornaments associated with gifted subscriptions. A raid has another reaction: it adds twinkling string lights. Together, these specified events give the rotating spruce several kinds of decoration during a holiday broadcast.
Plan a seasonal place for the tree
The widget supports Twitch, YouTube Live, Kick, and TikTok Live. Platform support does not mean that every destination offers every listed event type. Describe the reactions by their actual event names when inviting your audience to watch the tree change.
For a Christmas community gathering, the spruce provides a seasonal focus alongside your conversation. For a subscription-focused holiday stream, the round ornaments and the 30-total-subscription topper give you particular reactions to point out. Neither approach requires treating the tree as a competition; it can simply accompany the evening as supported activity arrives.
Before going live, preview its size beside the content you want viewers to follow. Leave enough room for the tree to be recognizable without covering essential information elsewhere in the layout. Download Meld Studio and add Christmas Tree Widget to your scene. If you are continuing to broadcast with OBS, Spark Plug for OBS is the alternative way to bring the tree into your setup.
