17 of the Best Artificial Christmas Trees

Whether it’s avoiding the hassle of inevitable disposal or just wanting the convenience of a perfectly sized tree every year, artificial Christmas trees offer an alternative to the real deal that can be almost identical, or fake in a fun way.

Do your roommates complain when you turn the thermostat down to 32 to preserve the real snow you hauled in to cover your tree? Flocked trees can offer a snow covered look that stays powdery and fresh, even at warm room temperatures. Did you hear about the discovery of the pink pine tree forest? Neither did we! If you want to make it a rose colored Christmas, faking it is the way to make it happen.

Even if traditional green is more your style, pre-lit and fully decorated trees can take some of the holiday pressure off and make the space above your presents merry and bright. Or, if you don't like the idea of your trees getting lit on their own, stick with a plain artificial tree that will let you vary the light show from year to year.

Whether you go for a wide, full tree or a slim, pencil tree, the one thing we saw mentioned for nearly all Christmas trees is that fluffing branches is the key to helping these faux beauties live their best lives look their best. We reviewed the reviews of hundreds of options by tree type and from popular merchants, and came up with this list of the best of the bunch. Bonus: several options were on sale at the time we published this guide, and lots of highly rated, customer loved options have standard prices under $100.

"This tree is amazing when you fluff it out. It's very full, has a beautiful shape, all the pieces were well made and easy to assemble. I can't believe how beautiful this tree is... I've had $400 trees that weren't this full. Just take your time fluffing it and bending the tips the way you like. It does take about 2 hours of labor to fluff and curl! Absolutely worth it." - Reborn Flower

"My daughters wanted a flocked Christmas tree this year. We looked everywhere for one, but all we found were very expensive trees that “shed” like crazy. We stumbled upon this tree at Lowe’s on display and fell in love! Got it home and set up and it is beautiful!! Minimal shedding and great quality. Very happy with this purchase and can’t wait to use our Christmas tree for years to come." - KJTN

7.5ft Pre-Lit Snow Flocked Artificial Christmas Pine Tree
$209.99

"We purchased the Flocked Pine Tree last year for Christmas and it was magical. First thing about this tree is the price, second, the quality is great, and third, the flock doesn't just all fall off, it looks great after one Christmas and we plan to use it again this year. Had zero problems with any of the bulbs, everyone worked and still work and we ran the lights for 2 months straight. If you go to a store here in the United States expect to pay double to triple the price of this tree for the same quality." - Thomas C.

"I have had an affinity for National Tree Co. since I purchased my first tree from them 30 years ago. This tree is just beautiful. It worked beautifully right out of the box and has been going strong since I purchased it four years ago. I have not had an issue with the lights. The tree is quite large in diameter and is very heavy. The multi-textured branches give this tree a look like no other. The branches are sturdy enough to hold heavy ornaments as well. The light spacing is perfect as well." - Fin

"I am extremely happy with this tree. We moved this year, and I couldn't decide whether to get a real tree or invest in an artificial one. As I looked around online, this one caught my eye. The price was reasonable and I liked that it was natural looking (according to reviews). We have 9-foot ceilings, and I think the tree looks plenty big and tall for the room. The branches have greenery of a couple different shades of green so that some of the tips look like new growth. It absolutely could not be easier to set up, and I think I can store it compactly in the box it came in." - Susan B.

Putting up the tree has always been a chore, but not any longer. Seeing our tree fall and get dry and ugly each year makes me sad and disappointed, but not this year." - Lesae B.

My beloved white tree finally went yellow after 6 years.... I decided to go green with this dark green color tree and am very happy and love it. It will take about an hour to get every branch “fluffed” but well worth it because it becomes very full! - Liz

"Since we downsized our life we needed to downsize our tree, and the space we had was good for tall but not for wide. We replaced our old full size tree with this skinny one. I debated going for the pre-lit version but I like to change the colors of my lights sometimes, so went with this one instead.

I'm really glad I bought this tree! It fits the corner we need it to perfectly. Once it was fluffed and lights were in place I knew it was going to look great when decorated and it did not disappoint. I have a ton of ornaments and we managed to get them all on and the tree looks awesome. I am so happy with this purchase!" - AMayday

"This tree arrived today and is perfect! After developing allergies to real Christmas trees, this is our first fake tree. We wanted it to look as real as possible and this tree accomplishes that goal. The high quality PE real feel tips are placed at the end of the branches to enhance the real tree look. The tree is very full after shaping the branches. We shopped a lot of places (in store and online) and [this] is the most tree you can get for this price. With prelit trees, you are spending a lot of your dollar on the light feature. With this tree all of the cost is in the quality of the tree and the branches. Would highly recommend if you desire to have a real tree look in your home. (Our kids keep saying “it looks real!”)" - Jess Les
