10 Christmas Trees That You Won’t Believe Are Fake

You can save by purchasing an unlit tree, like this traditional style from Best Choice Products. It’s available in five sizes and has dense, realistic branches that can easily hold your heaviest of ornaments. It sits pretty low though, so you may want to add a tree stand to fit presents underneath.

When it comes to artificial Christmas trees, Balsam Hill is the undisputed king. The brand has dozens of options, including pre-lit, unlit, and color-changing trees in heights ranging from 4.5 feet to 30 feet. Our favorite, though, is the Classic Blue Spruce — it’s undoubtedly expensive, but it’s timeless design and sturdy construction will save you money in the long run. 

Flocked Christmas trees have a layer of artificial snow on them, giving them an extra festive vibe. This slim number from King of Christmas comes either pre-lit and unlit and ranges from 6.5 to 12 feet. Add icicle-themed and snowy ornaments to turn your home into a winter wonderland.

For something more elegant, consider this Aspen Fir tree, which has a sparser design that would fit right in with a minimalist Scandi aesthetic. It comes pre-lit in three different sizes, and it is comparatively much less expensive than similar options.

Slim Christmas trees are great for small apartments or anyone who prefers a sleeker holiday vibe. This National Tree Company fir comes unlit in three sizes, and is the perfect choice for sprucing up corners or tight spaces.

Can’t decide between clear or multicolored tree lights? Have both with this tree from The Holiday Aisle brand at Wayfair. It comes with changing lights that will meet you in whatever mood you’re in, plus it is available in six sizes.  

Target’s Wondershop brand is full of seasonal decor, including this gorgeous pre-lit Virginia pine tree. It comes with both multicolored and clear bulbs and a stand that leaves plenty of room below for presents. Just note that it’s only available in one size: 7.5 feet.

This Foxtail Pine tree has a full appearance that will make it the focal point of your holiday display. You have quite a few choices to make: There are four sizes available and four light options. Go traditional with white LED lights, or have fun with multicolored bulbs. You can also splurge on smart lights, or keep it simple and go with an unlit model.

If you don’t want to put too much effort into decorating the tree, you’ll love the Amelia Frosted Pine tree. This pre-lit stunner comes with flocking and pinecones for a gorgeous wintry look. You don’t even need ornaments for this showstopper — although you can certainly add them for a maximalist appearance.

Keep it classic with this regal Pottery Barn tree, which comes either pre-lit or unlit. This tree provides a blank canvas for whatever your Christmas style is and will look equally impressive whether you decorate it with various colorful ornaments or stick with simple garlands.
