Abstract: A fiber optic Christmas tree is provided including an artificial tree trunk with a plurality of hollow tubular sections. Each section is coupled in axial alignment. Also included is a plurality of fiber optic cables situated within the hollow sections of the tree trunk which are adapted to transfer light to fiber optic cables of an adjacent section upon the releasable coupling thereof. The fiber optic cables extend outwardly from an associated bore in a corresponding section of the tree trunk for emitting light therefrom upon the application of light to the associated fiber optic cables. Further provided is a base having a bulb assembly including a bulb situated within the base for applying light to the fiber optic cables upon the receipt of power.
