In addition to being convenient, experts note the reduced holiday stress that comes with having a fake tree. “A quality artificial Christmas tree allows you to avoid the common hassles of dragging a heavy tree around, keeping up with the ongoing cleanup and maintenance and, of course, disposing of the tree after the season,” says Sol Lakein, COO of holiday decor company King of Christmas. “With an artificial centerpiece, setup and take down is extremely simple.” However, before making a purchase, you’ll want to consider elements like the size of the room where you’ll place it, whether you want built-in string lights and your budget.

Materials: PVC | Height: 90 inches | Base diameter: 61 inches | Lights: Yes

Pros:

  • Full body
  • Included lights
  • Mix of branches

Cons:

  • Some branches are bulky
  • May not work with all tree toppers

A major gripe from Christmas tree owners is untangling the lights after a year of storage and having to artfully arrange them just so on the tree. This pre-lit tree takes that out of the equation entirely. It features pretty white lights spaced perfectly around hinged branches and 1,399 branch tips for easy setup and takedown. The overall look and feel is very natural, too.

Materials: Polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) | Height: 72 inches | Base diameter: 47 inches | Lights: Yes 

Pros:

  • Pre-lit
  • Inexpensive
  • Easy to put up

Cons:

  • Not tall enough for some
  • Some say tree top is too long

This under-$150 faux spruce is affordable compared to many of its counterparts, but it features lush branches that look incredibly realistic. The tree comes pre-lit with 300 clear lights for a simple setup, and the included base is a nice touch. Just put it together, add your ornaments and enjoy the soft glow of this beautiful option.

Materials: PVC, metal | Height: 108 inches | Base diameter: 36 inches | Lights: Yes

Pros:

  • Good height
  • Small footprint
  • Included lights

Cons:

  • Too tall for some rooms
  • Lights won’t twinkle

This tall and regal tree is just right when you have limited space. You can easily set it up in a corner without it completely taking over your living room. Don’t let the lack of diameter fool you—there’s more than enough space for your ornaments on this full tree. The whole thing is pre-lit for easy setup.

Terrain’s Norway Spruce is packed with light—more than 5,500 bulbs, to be exact—giving it a warm glow. But it also uses a molded PE needle finish for an incredibly realistic look. The tree features hinged branches for easy setup. There’s even an included remote for easy light management.

  • The final products on this list reflect in-depth research conducted by our writer and meticulous vetting by the editorial team.

What To Look For In An Artificial Christmas Trees

There are several factors to consider when shopping for the best artificial Christmas trees. Here’s what to look for.

Material

Artificial Christmas trees are generally made of PVC, PE or a mix of both, says Janna Ovalle, assistant e-commerce director at decor store House of Holiday. “PVC trees are safer because they’re fire-resistant,” she says. “The colors also stay longer.” But PE options may “look more natural,” Ovalle says. “Some trees have a combination of both materials to give it a fuller, more realistic look,” she says.

Size

There’s a huge range of size options for artificial Christmas trees, from the Wondershop 6.5-Feet Pre-Lit Indexed Flocked Glittered Balsam Fir to the massive 18-feet Balsam Hill California Baby Redwood. The right size Christmas tree ultimately depends on the size of the room where you’ll place it, Ovalle says. “We always recommend going at least 1 foot shorter than your ceiling height, to leave plenty of room for a topper,” Lakein says.

Ease Of Assembly

Artificial Christmas trees typically require some level of assembly, and some are easier to put together than others. Some trees simply have different sections that you slide together, while others have hinged branches that are inserted around a pole. Keep in mind that most artificial trees require at least some level of fluffing to achieve a realistic look.

Style

You have options when it comes to the style of your Christmas tree. That includes the type of tree you want, as well as whether you prefer flocking. There are options for a Warsaw tree, which has a distinct look, and even quirky upside-down trees. Most trees are green, but you can also find some that are white, flocked and even brown (the previously mentioned Warsaw).

Lights

Some artificial Christmas trees have included lights, which are a nice perk if you don’t want to be bothered with setting this element up every year. There’s variety with this as well: Some have lights built into the branches, while others are wrapped around in a more traditional fashion. While included lights are convenient, not everyone prefers this feature. Read the manufacturer’s description before choosing if you have a preference.

Extra Features

There are added elements to consider as you get into more expensive trees. Certain trees that have included lights will offer several lighting options, including twinkling and a timer feature. Some trees also are app-enabled, allowing you to control the action from your couch.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are Expensive Artificial Christmas Trees Worth It?

“>

Are Expensive Artificial Christmas Trees Worth It?

With artificial Christmas trees, you often get what you pay for. Expensive artificial Christmas trees are often incredibly durable and realistic-looking. They also tend to resist fading more than lesser-priced trees with repeated sun exposure. Most artificial Christmas trees should last an average of 10 years with proper storage, but higher-end options can last you a good 20 years or more. Keep in mind that artificial trees can help save you money over time, making it worth spending extra on. “The cost over the long run is a better investment than buying a new fresh tree each year,” Ovalle says. “A good artificial tree looks brand new and beautiful for years.”
