The mashed potatoes may be on the stove and the turkey in the oven, and, still, you might be wondering: How soon is too soon to put up the Christmas tree? Christmas has always been a big deal for the Scott family with traditions that started when the brothers were growing up. So it’s safe to say that, around here, it’s never too early to start celebrating. Especially with all the festive gatherings and holiday parties (many filled with White Elephant gifts) that find their way on the calendar after Thanksgiving. So yes, take this as your permission to put up your modern Christmas tree!
While a real tree can be lovely, it’s not for everyone. Which is OK, since there are so many beautiful artificial Christmas trees these days that look like the real deal. And the best part is you can buy many of the best modern Christmas trees from the comfort of your couch. Whether you prefer prelit Christmas trees, contemporary trees inspired by holiday motifs like snowflakes, or functional trees that save on storage space while still making an impact (and impressing anyone you’re hosting), the best modern Christmas trees capture the essence of the season. Read on for our favorites!
