Best Answer

Preserving holly berries for Christmas. These tips are relevant to Ireland / UK. Around the second week of November, before the birds start stripping the tree of berries, cut off the pieces, and spray both leaves and berries with hair spray. Place in a plastic bag and store, in shed or attic, or wherever convenient.

Another method is to cover the desired branches on the tree with a very light fine netting , attach it so it doesn't blow off: it can be purchased in a garden centre and will prevent the birds getting to the berries.
