The Best Artificial Christmas Trees You Can Buy

While there’s nothing quite like the scent of a pine around the holidays, artificial Christmas trees are continuing to grow in popularity. There are so many reasons to switch to a faux tree — they’re durable, convenient and make the holiday decor setup and cleanup so much more simple. Not to mention, they’re a great choice for households with pets or loved ones who are allergen-sensitive.

The problem now lies in deciding (and with so much variety on the market, it can be tough!) which is the perfect holiday tree for your home. To make the job easier as the days quickly countdown to Christmas, we’ve rounded up our favourite artificial Christmas trees to suit your style and budget.

A Fine Pine

Long and thin, this pencil Pine tree looks just like the real thing — which Canadians know and love from tree-lined streets in the wintertime. It also means that it’s super convenient to stow away and set up. The dusting of artificial snow gives it that snowy look, just like those outside. Bonus that this one comes with multicoloured lights that are ready to turn on with the flick of a button.

Perfectly Classic

Voted the best artificial holiday tree of the year by the New York Times for its affordability and realistic appearance is this classic Christmas tree. It’s no surprise, as its tree branches are molded using the real thing. The only thing that will give it away as a faux tree is the lack of pine needles to sweep away day after day!
