These Are the Best Fake Christmas Trees for Your Home

The time has come folks. The weather is crisp, the janglers are lining your storefronts, and radio stations (even Spotify) are pushing Mariah Carey’s Christmas hits. With the holidays in the air, naturally it’s time to turn your home into a winter wonderland. That means dusting off holiday decorations that have been stored in the attic for the last eight months and busting out the nutcrackers. But most importantly, it means setting up the perfect Christmas tree for your home.

Now, we use the word “perfect” loosely. What is perfect for you may not be to your neighbor. After all, each household is different, and a couple doesn’t need the same size tree as a five-person family. And while we can’t deny the wonderfully festive smell of a real tree, artificial Christmas trees are just plain easier.

Whether you’re looking for a fake Christmas tree to skip out on the work and mess of a real one, or you’re seeking one to match your living room décor, this list has you covered.

A lovely alternative to the real thing is a festive tree that brings the outside in. The key is to seek “real feel” details that don’t scream synthetic. The good thing about 2020 is that technology is pretty advanced, so you can easily (with our help) find the most realistic looking artificial Christmas tree best suited for your home.

Pre-Lit Vs Unlit Trees

Just like your attitude during the holiday season, all trees should be lit in one way or another. And many artificial Christmas trees these days come with a pre-lit option. Typically, pre-lit options are a bit pricier, but can be worth the investment saving you time, money and the hassle of replacing string lights. For those that like to get creative and change it up every year, we recommend going with a non-lit tree. Artificial Christmas trees should last anywhere from 5 to 10 years when properly cared for and stored away. Some say, non-lit trees last longer because of normal wear and tear on the electric cords, but according to experts, that all depends on the quality of the tree in the first place.
