Greig Howe, 35, needed to cut the huge tree into three parts to get it into his house in Bournemouth.
He put one part in the living room, one in the bedroom and one on the roof.
From the outside it looks like one whole tree that takes up the entire house.
The tree, which cost £250, is decked out in 160 big baubles, 2,000 LED lights and has a star on the top.
As well as delighting Mr Howe's three children, it has caused amusement for passers-by and neighbours.
Mr Howe said: "I had it in mind because that corner of the house is perfect for it and I really wanted to give the kids a Christmas they wouldn't forget.
"From the outside it is a bit of an optical illusion because it appears to be one huge tree that has shot up through the ceilings and floorboards and out through the roof.
"People keep stopping and laughing at it and my 11-year-old son Harry absolutely loves it."
He and a friend used a chainsaw to chop it into three parts before they towed it to his six bedroom detached house.
It took Mr Howe and seven friends two days to manoeuvre it into the three positions. The operation even involved taking out a bay window to squeeze the tree inside.
The only downside to the tree is that Mr Howe has to keep one of the lounge windows open because the branches are so big.
