Deco My Tree not working? Here’s what to do

Service unavailable, empty token, a blank page or messages that won’t open? What each problem usually means, what to try, and a tree that works right now.

Checking whether My Tree is working…

My Tree is an independent website, not the Deco My Tree app: we can’t fix it or open your account there. What we can do is explain the usual causes and give you a tree that works today.

Why it stops working every December

Searches for Deco My Tree jump in the last days of November, when people make their trees and share their links, and peak on December 24 and 25, when everyone opens their messages at once. A service built for a few busy weeks can slow down or stop under that load.

Step-by-step fixes

  1. Copy the whole link again. A cut-off link is the most common reason a tree won’t open.
  2. Open it in your browser. If it fails inside Instagram, TikTok or WhatsApp, open the link in Safari or Chrome.
  3. Update the app and restart your phone.
  4. Sign out and back in. This often fixes “empty token”.
  5. Try another network: switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and turn off any VPN.
  6. Check whether it’s down for everyone: search “deco my tree down” on X or TikTok. If it is, only the people who run it can fix it, so try again later.

Does Deco My Tree still work in 2026?

We don’t run Deco My Tree, so we can’t say whether it will work this season. If you’d rather not wait and see, you can make a tree on My Tree in a minute: it works in any browser, friends need no app or account, and the gifts open on Christmas Day 2026. Your tree stays open afterwards, so friends can keep hanging New Year 2027 wishes on it.

A tree that works in any browser

  1. Create your tree

    Open decomytree.link/create-tree, pick a design and, at the end, choose an email and password.

  2. Share your link

    Put it in your Instagram story, your bio or your group chats.

  3. Friends hang gifts

    They write from any phone or computer, with no app and no account. The messages open on Christmas Day.

Questions

Why does Deco My Tree say “service unavailable”?

Usually because its servers are overloaded or briefly down, which happens most in the last days of November and on December 24–25. Wait a few minutes and try again.

What does “empty token” mean on Deco My Tree?

It usually means the app lost your sign-in. Update the app, then sign out and back in; reinstalling it also helps.

Can I move my messages from Deco My Tree to My Tree?

No. They are separate services, so the messages on a Deco My Tree tree stay there. A My Tree tree starts fresh with its own link.

Is My Tree the same as Deco My Tree?

No. My Tree is an independent website and isn’t affiliated with Deco My Tree or its developers.

Is My Tree working right now?

The box at the top of this page checks My Tree’s servers every time you open it.
