When Clea shared a time-lapse of her and her family assembling the multi-colored masterpiece on Instagram, she said that the tree is in the kids' playroom of her home. 

'Which means I will be hanging out in the playroom a lot over the next two months!' she writes.

The queens of organization have created similar trees in the past, but, this year, they opted for a white artificial tree as the backdrop to the rainbow creation. Our roundup of the best artificial Christmas trees includes a lovely white option if you're planning a technicolor tree.

The specific lights on the tree are special LED lights from a brand called Twinkly. In her Instagram stories Clea demonstrates how she has been able to customize each strand of lights to be the perfect color via the Twinkly app.

The free app allows you to map out each individual bulb on your tree - a neat freak's dream. From hearts to stripes, it gives you plenty of control in creating a design or pattern unique to your home.

However, the good news is they are now back in stock and you can buy the rainbow Twinkly lights on Amazon. However, if you do miss them again, they are also available from Walmart.
