The Best Artificial Christmas Trees That Make Holiday Decorating Easier Than Ever
These make the holidays come together in a snap.

The charm of a fresh-cut tree has always been tricky to replicate — until now. If a family trip to the tree farm just isn't possible this year, these artificial Christmas trees help bring the holiday magic home without any of the hassles. You can even buy that amazing Christmas tree smell, too.
Once you've determined the best artificial Christmas tree that fits your home's size and aesthetic, you'll be all set to start your holiday decorating as soon as you want. (Even if that's immediately after Thanksgiving dinner!) These picks will last you year after year and are touted as reviewer favorites for their stylish, authentic look and easy assembly.
The Best Artificial Christmas Trees
What to Consider
Tree height and shape
When determining the best tree height to buy, consider the height of your ceiling above all. Give yourself at least a foot of headroom between the top of the tree and your ceiling, so you can still have room for an angel or a star at the very top.
Tree shapes vary widely from robust, tall trees to slim pencil silhouettes, and you can choose the best for you based on how much room you're working with. There are even half-back trees like the Home Heritage Pre-Lit Artificial Half Christmas Tree that are specifically designed to stand flush against a wall or tuck into a corner for those with very small spaces.
Pre-strung vs. unlit
You'll also want to decide if you want an artificial Christmas tree that's unlit or pre-strung with lights. If you are starting from square one with buying your very first faux Christmas tree, we definitely recommend getting a pre-lit one, because you won't have to buy a separate strand of lights for it.
Assembly
Artificial Christmas trees either comprise separate parts or one unit with multiple branch hinges. Hinging types are typically a little easier to put together because the tree comes in just one piece. When putting your tree together, you'll want to keep your vacuum at the ready to pick up any fake needles and faux snow that falls off — some artificial Christmas trees tend to shed, especially if you're assembling them for the very first time.
And if you don't already own one, make sure you add a Christmas tree bag to your cart, since you'll want a neat and easy way to store your tree after the holidays are over.
Available pre-lit or bare, and in all shapes, sizes, and tree types, these 10 artificial Christmas trees will maintain their high-quality display for years of holiday enjoyment.
