AXMAS , AX two Xmas's trees design.
AX is a "tree" that is already decorated, does not call any other lambda. The ornaments are embedded in the function.
AXMAS is an undecorated one. We can choose our own ornaments array "or". Call AFLAT.
AFLAT , flattens the ornament array, and gives us the versatility to deal with arrays of any shape, size, dimensions, with blanks/null strings, ranges, or other array formulas.
Both designs, randomly, change the display of ornaments every time spreadsheet recalculates, or if we hit F9.
Both lambdas share same concept design, creating a Xmas tree shape, a "triangular" array that can be filled with random values.
A triangular array is like designing a symmetric staircase, it has stairs or steps, and has 2 input parameters "ht", the approximate total height, and "sh", each stair height. Each stair width or depth is by default 1. Knowing these parameters, the function knows how to calculate nr. of steps, exact total height to accommodate nr. of steps and total width footprint of the "staircase".
Both lambdas share same ornament topper (2 parts), and same tree base, (last row) where presents boxes are placed. First variables after LET.

Happy Holidays 2023!! New Xmas-tree design.
Distinctive design concept. Occupies only 2 columns.(left clm or the clm where we write the formula should be right aligned)
Previous designs required individual cells for each ornament.
A natural tree has uneven branches lengths. To create randomly this effect, we only have to use chars of different widths.
As ornaments array, any clm vector can be used with any chars. (if array we use TOCOL)
Our old "stored" and dusted ornaments lambda box AO()
AO()
Excel Formula: 
=LAMBDA(LET(q,SEQUENCE(44,,10035),UNICHAR(IF(q>10058,q+117698,q))))
AXMAS(h,o,[s ])
h: trunk's height (total height will be h+3, 1 for the base and 2 for the top ornament)
o: ornaments array , clm vector
s: branch or "step's" height (creates the "slope" of the contour, bigger value, higher angle), if omitted step 1
Excel Formula: 
=LAMBDA(h, o, [s],
    LET(
        i, SEQUENCE(, h) <= QUOTIENT(SEQUENCE(h) - 1, MAX(s, 1)) + 1,
        a, LAMBDA(BYROW(IF(i, INDEX(o, RANDARRAY(h, h, 1, ROWS(o), 1)), ""), LAMBDA(x, CONCAT(x)))),
        VSTACK({"⭐", "⭐"; "‖", "‖"}, HSTACK(a(), a()), {"🎁▓", "▓🎁"})
    )
)
Note: If you have new eta lambda possib. (do not have this update yet) lambda(x,concat(x)) can be replaced with concat
=LAMBDA(h, o, [s ],
LET(
i, SEQUENCE(, h) <= QUOTIENT(SEQUENCE(h) - 1, MAX(s, 1)) + 1,
a, LAMBDA(BYROW(IF(i, INDEX(o, RANDARRAY(h, h, 1, ROWS(o), 1)), ""), CONCAT)),
VSTACK({"⭐", "⭐"; "‖", "‖"}, HSTACK(a(), a()), {"🎁▓", "▓🎁"})

Bonus!! Xmas trees and "event" functions FREEZE and POP
FREEZE(fm,cl,[k]) will stop the formula fm in cell cl from recalculating even if it contains volatile functions.
Excel Formula: 
=LAMBDA(fm,cl,[k],IF(cl#=0,fm,IF(k,fm,cl#)))
fm: formula to "freeze"
cl: cell address where we write the formula (creates circular reference so iterative calc should be enabled: File->Options->Formulas->Enable iterative calculation)
k: if omitted, formula freezes, if 1 , still recalculates

15At one time, if we want to freeze the right one also, we simply delete the "1"

17The only way to make left array to recalculate is to click the cell, like for editing and
18hit Enter or Ctrl Enter
19This method should be used succesivly until the formula delivers a result you want to keep.

21Notes: Versatility of FREEZE
22Inserting rows or columns at the upper or left size of top left cell will not affect the freeze.
23Moving the cell with freeze will keep the freeze to the new location.(cell address is relative)

POP(if,then,cl) calls FREEZE
Excel Formula: 
=LAMBDA(if,then,cl,FREEZE(IF(if,then,0),cl))
if: condition to trigger the pop
then: the formula that will "pop" into "existence" when the condition is met (else is always 0, to not pop)
cl: cell address where the formula resides (circular reference => iterative calc should be enabled: File->Options->Formulas->Enable iterative calculation)

!!! After the "pop", even if the condition changes or is deleted, the "pop" will stay.
The pop cell will show a 0 if the condition is not met => for surprize effect you can cond form the cell to not show the 0
(We can not use "" instead of 0, 0 is subtle important for FREEZE inner mechanism)
