Real Christmas trees aren't for everyone. While it's fun to cut down a fir, it's not necessarily easy. And it's even harder to maintain them! Even Ree Drummond—a longstanding member of #TeamRealTree—knows that many people don't share her love of wrestling a towering tree year after year. "I understand the allure of artificial, and that some folks have allergies that prevent them from putting real ones in the house," she says. If that sounds like you, we've compiled a list of the best artificial Christmas trees to help you spruce up your home with very little maintenance.
Our Top Picks
Many of the lifelike models we've curated mimic the characteristics of different types of Christmas trees, including shape and needle type. But don't worry, adventurous decorators: We've also got a few pink and gold tinsel trees to choose from. No, they won't fool anyone, but they are wonderful Christmas decoration ideas! What's more, you'll also find a range of price points on our list, including artificial trees under $100 and high quality fir and spruce-lookalikes.
Find your dream tree, then deck it out with dazzling lights and our all-time favorite Christmas tree decorations—and don't forget a shiny Christmas tree topper. And once the season is over, refresh yourself on how to store your Christmas tree so it's ready to go next season!
