Christmas is happening next month! Have you set up your Christmas tree? If the thought shopping for, and setting up a real Christmas tree makes you giddy, don't fret. Who's to say that we all need a real Nobel Fir Christmas tree in the home to get into the mood for Christmas?
Artificial Christmas trees offer several advantages over real live Christmas trees, making them an appealing choice for many households. While the upfront cost of an artificial tree may be higher, it can be reused for many years, saving money over time compared to purchasing a live tree annually. They are easy to assemble and disassemble, and they don’t require watering or maintenance during the holiday season.
Artificial trees are hypoallergenic, making them a better option for people sensitive to pine or mold spores that can sometimes be present in real trees. Naturally, you don’t have to clean up fallen pine needles too.
Here, we've gathered the best artificial Christmas trees that you can use, fold and stow away in your storage, and re-use it again come next Christmas.

Here's an artificial Christmas tree with the holy grail 1,000 branch tips - fuller, more leaves, more lush looking, and you can hang a lot more ornaments. In the same vein, it will require two or three persons over an evening to fluff up and decorate a 1,000 tip Christmas tree. It's hard work!!
At 6 ft (182cm), Sunnyglade's tree is made of plastic but there's no mention of it being flame-retardant.
