There are many possible solutions besides spraying your tree:
A) Put a barrier of some sort around your Christmass Tree to prevent your cat from making contact
B) I'm sure there are some kinds of materials they sell that repel cats (Liquids?) that you can use (NOT ON YOUR CAT). You could put it on your Christmas Tree or around it to prevent your cat from coming near.
C) (IF) You'r Christmas Tree is in a room that you dont use very much (that has a door) just close the door when no ones using it or when someones in it.
D) Keep watch and everytime you see your cat going near the Christmas Tree, carry him/her away.
E) Occupy your cat, you could get him/her a scratching post, a self automated toy, a remote controlled mouse (Yes they do sell those, I know for a fact ((I have one)) ).
F) This isnt exactly my best choice...Shut her up in a room with marbles and toys that she could play with, and someone to play with (I wouldnt though)
G) Get/Make something that would grab your cat's attention from the tree (You could take some boxes and make a play house or a tunnel of some sort, or buy a post or play pen)
H) Again, not the best choice, move you Christmas Tree to a basement or attic (Somewhere that you dont use) until (A couple days before?) Christmas Eve or Chrismas
I) If there are ornaments and other strings and catchy things on your Christmas tree remove them until Christmas Eve- You could have a family get-to-gether and hang them back up again
I really do hope they help- I'll try and post more suggestions if I can

well nothing but our cat did that their first christmas. we took a water bottle and sprayed it everytime it went up the tree. now they are too fat to climb it so they drink the water at the bottom. we put baby asprin in the tree water to make it last longer but last year we found out why the cats were so sleepy and thats how we found out why the tree was drinking so much.it was so funny (for the record it didnt hurt the cat because it was dissolved and its baby asprin)
good luck

I saw this question asked before and this was the best chosen answer: Rub Vicks Vaporub along the bottom of the tree. Apparently cats hate the smell and they won't go near it. Good luck!

Nothing but if you put water in a spray bottle and spray the cat everytime he goes near it he will learn to stay away from it very quickly.

Cats hate the smell of citrus fruits, and strong perfume. Try those.

The scent of a dog.
