THE stars of Teen Mom have been busy preparing their homes for the upcoming holiday season.
And some have gone further than others. But not all fans are in favor of the over-the-top extravagancies.

Chelsea Houska kicked off the competition, documenting on video her husband, Cole DeBoer, 35, putting together some decorations.
In the short video, viewers could hear Mariah Carey‘s All I Want For Christmas Is You playing softly in the background as the MTV alum showed off Cole’s creative do-it-yourself project.
This year, Chelsea wanted to put her two gigantic Christmas trees inside two gray vases and since they were too big, Cole took matters into his own hands and built holders inside the products.
“I cut my old mailbox up, put the post in [the spheres], created a little thing to hold it in there and I’m gonna spray foam it [to create a] Christmas tree holder,” Cole explained.
In the following clip, Chelsea recorded Cole filling up the vase so that it was completely covered.
Even Chelsea’s kids Watson and Layne had a blast filling up the vase.
Once it was completely filled and only showing the pipe, the tree was placed in and set up in the living room.
Chelsea was so proud of her beau: “Look at him, he made it work!”

The TV personality showed off the final product where her trees were fully decorated with yellow lights, multi-colored ornaments, and a gold star on top.
Chelsea captioned her post with: “I’ve always loved these types of planters for a Christmas tree base and was so bummed when my trees didn’t fit, so Cole obviously came up with a solution and I LOVE how it turned out.”
COSTLY CHELSEA

However, fans on a popular Teen Mom forum spotted how much her Christmas tree holders cost – and it’s jaw-dropping.
A TM follower shared a screenshot of the trees and said that each tree cost a whopping $750.
Many commenters said that Chelsea’s tree is known as a King Noble Fir tree.
“750 for THAT?! Yikes,” one said.
A second questioned: “What makes these 750? Are they made of gold?”
A third asked: “What on god’s green earth makes THIS $750?”
“Yeah that’s sparse. I expect it to bloom diamonds for that price,” a fifth pointed out.
A fifth replied to the above comment with: “I can’t hate on the European style. Balsam Fir and King Noble Fir are some of my favorite trees; the sparsity is kind of the key to it. Cheap versions look bad; I can see why these are so stupidly expensive.”
Others continue to talk about how “sparse” the tree looked and even referenced the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
KAILYN LOWRY

Kailyn Lowry left fans emotional after she surprised her children with over-the-top decorations.
The family is celebrating Christmas together for the first time in five years and the reality star decided to go all out for her kids.
Kailyn posted a video via Instagram of her children’s reaction to her lavish decorations.
The star has seven children named Isaac, Lincoln, Lux, Creed, Rio, and twin girls.
The children gushed: “Oh my God, it looks beautiful.”
A festive song played in the background and Kailyn captioned the post: “We haven’t celebrated Christmas in five or more years. Between years of fighting with my kids dads over holidays and my kids being fortunate with ‘things’ all year I gave up Christmas.
“Their dads have big families and lots of cousins, so it just feels like the best option. I guess things will look a little different this year.”
JENELLE EVANS

Jenelle Evans is trying to keep the Christmas spirit even as her family will be missing a key member.
The former MTV star is seemingly attempting to have a normal holiday despite losing custody of her 14-year-old son Jace.
Jenelle was ordered by Child Protective Services to complete intensive therapy and drug tests after losing custody, The U.S. Sun revealed.
An insider told The U.S. Sun that Jenelle is undergoing drug testing as part of the child welfare agency’s case.
Jace had been removed from Jenelle’s home in late September by CPS after the teen ran away from his mother’s home for a third time following an alleged assault by his stepfather, David.
While CPS had since maintained legal custody of Jace, he was placed in his grandmother Barbara’s care with sights on possibly making the arrangement once again permanent.
Barbara had raised Jace since he was a baby, and she only gave her daughter Jenelle back custody in March.
However, that option is also in question, after Jace ran away from his grandmother’s home too in November.
JADE CLINE

Jade Cline is giving back for the holiday.
The 28-year-old shared a short Boomerang video of her glowing Christmas tree to Instagram, along with an offer for dessert lovers.
“I’ll be making pies again for the holidays!” she shared online. “Pick up will be the day before Christmas Eve.”
Sadly, Jade’s cooking skills are limited to greater Indianapolis. And it sounds like hungry fans will be missing out.
“I will have peach spiced pie, mocha pie, pumpkin and cinnamon apple pie. DM to put your order in,” she said.
Pies might not be the only thing Jade is baking this season.
The Teen Mom OG star has sparked baby rumors in recent months by hiding her figure in photos and on social media.
Last month, she responded to fan inquiries about a second pregnancy amid ongoing speculation that she could be secretly with child.
During an Instagram Q&A, one fan got right to the point, asking: “Any more kids?”
Jade replied: “Would love one more,” with a red heart.
Later, another asked: “Are you pregnant?” to which she responded: “Not currently lol we want to wait to start trying till next year.”
The MTV star cleared up the rumors amid ongoing fan theories that she’s already pregnant with her second baby.
Jade shares her daughter Kloie, 6, with her husband Sean Austin, 30, whom she married late last month.
