The Christmas Tree Sword is a Hardmode, post-Plantera sword that fires ornament projectiles when swung that vary significantly depending on the version.

• On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, the Christmas Tree Sword hurls a star ornament projectile in a straight line in the direction of the cursor which releases an ornament once every 10 ticks (0.167 seconds), releasing a maximum of four ornaments and one star ornament per every swing. The star lingers in midair for 100 ticks (1.67 seconds) before dissipating, while its secondary ornament projectiles travel for 50 ticks (0.83 seconds) before dropping directly downwards. The first and third ornaments will be released to the right (in the direction of flight) and the second and fourth to the left. Since each consecutive ornament has slightly less range, the five projectiles usually align in a roughly triangular shape. Ornament projectiles break upon contact with enemies and solid blocks and deal 100% of the weapon's base damage (86 damage). While the primary star ornament inflicts the weapon's base knockback, colored ornaments only inflict a quarter of its knockback (1.75 (Very weak)).
• On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS version, swinging the Christmas Tree Sword launches a single ornament in the direction of the cursor which is affected by gravity. It deals 50% of the sword's damage (36 damage) and breaks upon contact with enemies or blocks. Unlike most other late-game swords, the Christmas Tree Sword is not capable of autoswing in these versions.

The Christmas Tree Sword is dropped by the Everscream during the Frost Moon event with a 4.44% ~ 7.78% (15.56% ~ 31.11%) chance depending on the current wave.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes

• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Like the North Pole, the Christmas Tree Sword can be used to carpet bomb areas with projectiles. Unlike the North Pole, this sword's projectiles are not affected by wind and do not have a projectile cap, making it useful for many late-game events.
• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Since most of this sword's damage comes from many smaller projectiles, its damage is significantly enhanced by Ichor or Betsy's Wrath debuffs.

Tips

• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) An effective strategy for using the Christmas Tree Sword during events is to use flasks and rain down ornament projectiles upon groups of enemies from above using wings or other movement accessories.

Trivia

• Prior to 1.3.5(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), this item was also referred to as Christmas Sword in the source code.
