We understand the joy in the faces of children as they dance around dreaming of presents and fun, and we value those moments and the role we play in helping to create those memories.

Size and Shape - Do you want a full or slim design?

Before beginning your shopping search, you will want to be sure that you have measured the space in which you plan to place your tree. Our trees come in all sizes ranging from mini to towering 50' giant pre lit Christmas trees, and in shapes from slim to full. Height is measured from the base to the top, and you will want to leave a 6" - 12" space to make room for a decorative topper. If you would like to place gifts beneath the tree you will want to consider a style that leaves space beneath, such as our Canadian or Fraser Fir pre lit Christmas trees. Some of our trees have elegant shapes for a distinguished and polished appearance, such as our Noble and Tiffany.

Tip count and construction is what makes the difference in an artificial Christmas tree that will last for many years and retain its realistic appearance. Our most recent addition to our pre lit Christmas trees include our TruTip Trees, which all boast PE/PVC tips for the most realistic natural look. Tips can bend into place, spreading out and up or down. Our pre lit Christmas trees all feature strong hinged construction, and branches that open out and down for display, and fold up for storage. Sturdy metal bases hold truncks securely in place, and bases won't bend or buckle after years of use. Artificial trees should be designed to last for up to 10 years, and our manufacturer's are able to offer warranties that boast such life expectancies due to quality craftsmanship.

Christmas Tree Lights

Clear Lights

One of the many benefits in choosing an artificial Christmas tree is the time and energy saved in wrapping light strands around your tree. Pre lit Christmas trees are available with clear or multi colored bulbs, and if one bulb burns out, the rest will remain lit. The Brighton Fir collection features the most lights, so if you prefer an amazing glow, this would be the choice for you! We now also offer the Fraser LED Christmas Tree in clear or bold multi-colored LEDs for increased savings and cost effectiveness.

Decorating Pre Lit Christmas Trees

We have pre lit Christmas trees for every type of holiday decorator we could imagine. If you are starting over this year or like to stay light on the ornaments, then you will want to choose one of our full trees that are designed for minimal ornaments. Our Hawthorne Tree is gently frosted with berries and pine cones, leaving room for decorations, but no need. Our Canadian Fir and Fraser Fir Trees feature realistic trunks.

Digital Ornaments

Ball Ornaments

Starlight Spheres

For those of you that thrive on adding to your ornament collection every year, our Canadian Fir and Fraser Fir Trees once again come into play, as well as our Douglas, as these were designed to leave ample room for ornaments, and the branches are strong enough to bear the weight. If you need a pre lit tree with super duty steel branches and stiff foliage that can hold the heaviest of ornaments without bowing, you will want our commercial grade Sequoia Tree. Add a few 6" Starlight Spheres into the branches this year for a beautifully lighted Christmas ball with heavenly appeal.

Tree Color

Specialty Trees

Tree Color can be traditional or represent of your own personal style. Traditionally, pre lit Christmas trees are green, or have blue-green needles like our Noble collection. If you want a green that resembles a tree in the freshly fallen snow, you may prefer our Flocked Tree, or this year you may choose our trendy Crystal White tree.

Is this the year you surprise your child with a tree for their bedroom? Little girls love our Pink Princess, and women of all ages love our popular Purple Passion Tree. If you have a boy, try our Sky Blue Tree this year.

Storing Pre Lit Christmas Trees

Tree Storage Bags

Your last consideration in shopping for a pre lit tree will be how you plan to store it. While you can opt to store your tree in the box it came in, it is highly recommended that you use a Christmas Tree Storage Bag. You can choose a simple canvas bag for cost effectiveness, or purchase a bag with casters, pockets for toppers, and more.

From our hearth to yours, have a great holiday season!
