The switch to an artificial Christmas tree may seem drastic if you’ve always used real ones, but we’re confident that you’ll be pleased with the greatest artificial Christmas trees available this year.
It’s possible that after you’ve tried the fake life, you won’t want to go back. Imagine: no pine needles on the ground, no sticky sap on your hands, no struggle to get the tree into the stand, and no water sloshing around once you’ve got everything in place (that is, if you even remember to water it).
Ahead, you’ll find Christmas trees so full and lush that they’ll fool the untrained eye, plus other fun, festive upgrades like color pops and unexpected twists. Whatever it is, count on us to be there.
Artificial Fraser Fir Christmas Tree
The Appalachian Mountains are home to the Fraser Fir. For good reason, this artificial tree is dubbed “The World’s Best” since it is a top choice among Christmas tree buyers. The tree’s limbs are shaped to look just like a freshly cut Fraser fir, right down to the delicate, soft green needles. As far as I can tell, it’s the only artificial tree with 25,000 hours of white lights and more branch tips than any other.
Its moniker, “The World’s Best,” is not given lightly to this tree. It supposedly has more tips than any other fake tree, and its white lights will last a staggering 25,000 hours in total since they are molded to “replicate the identical growth patterns, cascading branches, and fine, soft green needles of a freshly cut Fraser Fir.”
Noble Fir
The design team at Terrain based this adorable tree on a real specimen found in the woods, so you can rest assured that it will look more realistic than any other fake tree. In spite of its reputation for being “spindly,” “twiggy,” and “sometimes scraggly,” we find these practically bare Noble fir artificial Christmas trees to be some of the most endearing on the market.
Snowy artificial Norway Spruce
This pre-lit, flocked Christmas tree is just one example of the impressively realistic artificial trees available from Norway Spruce Terrain. It’s seven feet tall, and it’s packed to the brim with more than 4,200 thorny tips. The tree takes its cue from the Norway spruce, a native to Europe that is known for its lushness and elegance and may be used to elevate the look of your holiday decorations.
Silvertip fir
If you want to create the atmosphere of a mystical forest, this seven-foot artificial silvertip fir is the way to go. Light up with warm white bulbs for classic appeal or multicolored lights for a holiday twist.
Jack Artificial Christmas Tree
You can’t go wrong with this Dunhill Fir from Joss & Main if you’re looking for something that requires zero effort and sets up quickly. It’s full and lofty, with a classic appearance. The height of the fake Christmas tree can be customized between 6.5 and 12 feet.
Fraser Fir
Fraser Firs are the most popular choice for the White House Christmas tree, which is a fun fact in itself. This premium tree is available in heights of 5.5 feet to 9 feet, and may be ordered with or without lights. If you’d like a snowy flocked tree instead, you can choose one with frosted tips.
