We named this Best Choice Products Best Artificial Christmas Tree because of its strong branches that held great decorations and value compared to similar models. We were also impressed with the level of detail — even the lights are frosted, creating a warm glow when lit. The entire tree has a vintage Christmas look and, since it comes in sizes from 4.5 to 12 feet, it fits well in all types of homes. This is a tree that you don’t even have to decorate because it’s beautiful and festive right out of the box.

This Fraser tree from Balsam Hill won the award for Best Customizable Artificial Christmas Tree from our testing team. There are many lighting options, such as flash and multi-color, and we appreciated how realistic it looked, even up close.

Michaels
Buy at Michaels $60 $25
Just because you live in an apartment or smaller house doesn’t mean you should be limited in your holiday decorating. The Ashland Pre-Lit Riverside Pine Tree is four feet of joy on sale for just $25 — a steal so good the Grinch might be interested. The tree comes with 100 multi-colored lights and is easy to assemble with just two parts.
The tree has PVC needles (a plastic material similar to grass) and customers say that despite its small growth it is quite sturdy. This is a great sized tree for children’s rooms, smaller living rooms and any other room that needs a little touch of Christmas. And at 58 percent off, it’s really good value.

Buy on Amazon $320 $163
If your love of neutral colors extends to all things home decor, then of course you’ll want a white Christmas tree. This seven-foot wonder from the National Tree Company is a standout and one of the highest-quality trees we’ve tested. And we’re not the only ones who think so — one customer called it “the perfect storybook Christmas tree.”
It comes pre-lit with 500 white lights and a little sparkle on each branch for extra sparkle (although in our experience the sparkles will stay on your clothes well into the new year). It’s a difficult tree with three parts to assemble, but once set up the tree is easy to spray and has realistic branches (white paint aside). It’s a gorgeous tree that’s nearly halved in price, so if you’ve ever considered going in a more contemporary direction, now is the time to do it.
We’ve found a range of quality artificial Christmas trees that will add a bit of holiday whimsy to your home. Scroll down for more Black Friday Christmas tree deals you can’t miss.
