Once upon a time, even the best fake Christmas trees were viewed as gaudy holiday faux pas, and everyone with a well-appointed home would rush to the neighborhood White Spruce farm to get the real thing. The best fake Christmas trees nowadays, however, actually have a very genuine appearance because of how things have changed. Before taking into account how much more useful and affordable they are, fake Christmas trees provide a white Christmas to your living room throughout the holiday season. They are luxurious and have just as much fluff as something living.
The visit to the attic/under-stairs-cupboard isn’t nearly as much fun as a trip to the snow-covered farm, and artificial fir Christmas trees don’t smell as good as the real thing (but reed diffusers and winter candles are for that, right?) However, there are other advantages, like the ability to pick them up illuminated and the fact that you won’t have to deal with the hassle of vacuuming up pine needles. The days of spending hours battling a string of fairy lights are over.
From what to look for in an artificial Christmas tree to our opinion on whether artificial Christmas trees are sustainable, here is everything you need to know on your search for the greatest Christmas tree.
Here are some of the nicest fake Christmas trees we’ve found:
7.5-foot Symons Nordmann Fir Christmas Tree
The White Company’s new-for-2022 product is exquisitely lifelike and made of premium imitation ferns and an artificial tree trunk. Christmas tree from Symons Nordmann looks lovely in your living room or hallway. It has a natural wicker tree skirt that hides the base, and you can get the brand’s tree storage bag for all-year storage. All that’s left to do is add a tree topper, a few pine cones, and some multicolored tree decorations.
Slim 6-foot Pop Up Habitat Artificial Christmas Tree with Snow
One of the best artificial Christmas trees for small spaces and simple setup, this slim tree has simulated snow frosted tips and is narrow enough to fit in the corner of any room or corridor. We transformed it from a box to bauble-ready in a matter of minutes, despite the fact that it isn’t offered in a variety of sizes. Put the top branches into the spaces left by the lower branches as you pull them out from the base. After that, you should spend some time fluffing the branches, and there you have it! ready to be covered in tinsel. I apologize, minimalists.
6 foot pre-lit grand spruce tree
This carefully thought-out artificial Christmas tree from The White Company is placed on a metal pedestal. It features 390 warm-white LED lights, is simple to put together, and has a variety of built-in settings, including ones that magically flicker and simply shine.
Pre-lit Aspen Mountain 7-foot spruce tree
Depending on the one you choose, this Cox & Cox spruce Christmas tree is either 7 or 8 feet tall and is a sight to behold. It is pre-lit with magical lights, and when you turn it on, a simple remote control allows you to select from eight different light patterns, including sparkling and static. You may also program a timer to automatically turn the lights on for eight hours and turn them off again eight hours later.
