The Singing Douglas Fir Christmas tree hack has been shown to be a pretty easy and useful hack. I have 3 of these trees that I found at various Goodwill stores over the years. I’ve had good intentions on getting some sort of talking prop to work, but haven’t found the time.
Some example links that demonstrate the use of the Douglas Fir.
