Balsam Hill is a big name in the faux tree world, known for its quality trees and realistic designs. This pre-lit spruce tree comes in a variety of sizes (6.5 feet, 7.5 feet, and 9 feet) and your choice of two types of lights (LED clear or fairy lights), with incredibly full branches that are nearly indistinguishable from the real deal. Bonus: Branch tips boast memory wire to help provide extra support for ornaments. 

A great option for under $100, this colorful pre-lit tree clocks in at a versatile 7.5 feet tall, with full branches that best resemble a traditional pine tree. The numerous lights (there are 500!) on the fir can cycle through four different light options: demo, warm white steady, multi steady, and warm white/multi-changing. The best part? There’s an easy-on foot pedal and a remote control, so maneuvering around your tree to turn on the lights is a thing of the past. 

Ideal for anyone who loves a natural look, this faux North Carolina spruce tree boasts evenly spaced branches and a clean triangular shape. Unlike many models, which start at a height of 6 feet, this tree is available at a 4-foot height, making it a great choice for anyone who lives in an apartment or small space.

Dreaming of a white Christmas? This faux-flocked Christmas tree is here to make it happen. Finished with a soft dusting of artificial snow, this Fraser fir boasts a full shape and 3,000 color-changing LED lights for a quality pick that will last for years to come. Even better, the 2,344 branch tips have memory wire, providing plenty of secure space for your beloved ornament collection.

If the Scandi style inspires your holiday aesthetic, you’ll want a Nordic Christmas tree, often characterized by prominent, sparse branches. This mid-priced design from Puleo International comes in a range of heights, from 4.5 feet to 7.5 feet, and features vibrant green needles for a lifelike effect. Once Christmas is over, this clever design breaks down into three pieces for easy, unobtrusive storage.

A favorite of purists everywhere, real blue spruce trees are beloved for their full shape, soft needles, and telltale cool hue. This Balsam Hill artificial version is a spot-on dupe, with an exceptionally full body that would look just as good bare as it would when decked out with ornaments and garland. Choose from incandescent, LED, or twinkly LED lights, or opt for an unlit tree if you want the experience of stringing your own fir.

Tinsel trees are a playful and unexpected play on holiday tradition, but finding one that doesn’t look like crumpled aluminum foil after a year can be tough. This version is made of environmentally-friendly PVC and odorless tinsel film, for a full and shiny look that will glimmer brightly every year. Plus, at just 15 pounds, this model is easy to hoist in and out of the attic or basement, even solo.

Short on space? Instead of opting for a tabletop tree—or forgoing a fir altogether—try a slim style meant to nestle seamlessly into a tight corner or passageway. This Kingswood fir touts a telltale pencil shape, with a 28-inch diameter that will allow even studio dwellers to get festive.
