The charm of a fresh-cut tree has always been tricky to replicate — until now. If a family trip to the tree farm just isn't possible this year, these amazing artificial Christmas trees help bring the holiday magic home without any of the hassles. (You can even buy that amazing Christmas tree smell, too.)
The Best Artificial Christmas Trees
What to Consider
Before you buy an artificial Christmas tree, the most important things to consider are the size and shape. When determining the best tree height to buy, give yourself at least a foot of headroom between the top of the tree and your ceiling, so you can still have room for an angel or a star at the very top. Tree shapes vary widely from robust, tall trees to slim pencil silhouettes, and you can choose the best for you based on how much floor space you're working with. There are even half-back trees specifically designed to tuck into a corner.
You'll also want to decide if you want an artificial Christmas tree that's unlit or pre-strung with lights. If you are starting from square one with buying your very first faux Christmas tree, we definitely recommend getting a prelit one, because you won't have to buy a separate strand of lights for it.
Available pre-lit or bare, and in all shapes, sizes, and tree types, these 12 artificial Christmas trees will maintain their high-quality display for years of holiday enjoyment.
