The Best Artificial Christmas Trees You Can Display Year After Year

We don't like to play favorites—especially when it comes to the most decorative element of all time, a Christmas tree—but this one is at the top of the list for a reason. Whether you opt for the seven-and-a-half-foot option or the nine-foot one, this Frontgate find that's dusted with realistic-looking faux snow will make a regal and sophisticated statement in your living room. Best of all, it arrives draped with thousands of warm-toned white LED lights.

If the previous tree is still too big for your small space, this one will definitely work. Not only is it just four-and-a-half feet tall, but it's also no wider than your typical lawn shrub. It's also flocked, pre-lit, and comes in the cutest rustic pot. One reviewer even says, "I set my tree up as soon as I got it to make sure I liked it. This tree is perfect! It’s easy to set up. There’s so many branches to fill it in. (I still have some fluffing left to do). I love the base, looks like a birch log. I’m very happy with my purchase and can’t wait to decorate it!"

No, this isn't a sad and barren tree that could use a few more branches. Rather, it's meant to look like a traditional German feather tree, which dates back to the mid-19th century.

They're said to to be the first artificial Christmas trees to ever hit the market.
