Artificial Christmas Trees for Every Home and Every Room

Easy Life Markets sells artificial Christmas trees in every common style: classic green, snow-flocked white, snow tipped, black and slim, from 6 ft up to 9 ft tall. Some of our Christmas trees come pre-lit with LED lights already on the branches, and others are unlit so you can choose your own. Every tree in this collection is reusable, sheds no needles and packs away in sections after the holidays. You can see all of them above, and the guide below explains how to choose between them.

If you only read one line: measure your ceiling and your floor space first, then pick the look and the lighting. Those three things decide almost every choice you'll make about Christmas trees, and they're the questions we get asked most often.

Our Christmas Trees at a Glance

This table compares every tree we stock, so you can narrow your choice quickly.

Need something for the top? The star tree topper comes in five colours and sizes from 10 to 30 cm, so there's one to suit every tree on this list.

Step 1: Choose the Right Height

Height is the most important decision when buying Christmas trees, and it's the one people most often get wrong. A tree that looks modest in a photo can scrape the ceiling once the topper goes on.

Here's a simple rule. Measure from the floor to your ceiling, then take away about 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in) for the topper and a little breathing room. Whatever's left is the tallest tree you should buy.

• Ceilings around 2.4 m (8 ft): the most common height in homes and apartments. A 6 ft tree is the safe choice, and a 7 ft tree will usually fit if your topper is small.
• Ceilings around 2.7 m (9 ft): a 7 ft or 7.5 ft tree fills the space nicely, and an 8 ft slim tree can work with a small topper.
• Ceilings 3 m (10 ft) and higher: this is where the 8 ft and 9 ft trees come into their own, in double-height living rooms, stairwells, hotel lobbies, shops and offices.

Don't forget the stand. Most stands add a few centimetres to the overall height, and a tree sitting on a raised platform or table will need more clearance again.

Step 2: Check the Width and Floor Space

Height gets all the attention, but width is what decides whether a tree feels cosy or cramped. A full-shape artificial tree is often 1.2 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 ft) across at the base. Add the space you need to walk around it and open presents, and a "6 ft tree" can take up a surprising amount of a small living room.

If space is tight, a slim tree is the answer. Our slim pre-lit Christmas tree is the full 6 ft tall but only 60 cm (23.6 in) wide, less than half the width of a standard tree. That makes it a good fit for:

• Small apartments and studio flats
• Corners beside a sofa or a window
• Hallways and entrance areas
• Offices, reception desks and shop counters
• Bedrooms and children's rooms

Have a high ceiling but little floor space? The 8ft pencil Christmas tree stands about 2.4 m (94.5 in) tall but is only about 56 cm (22 in) wide, so it gives you real height in a narrow spot. It comes pre-lit with 250 multicolour LEDs and decorated with pine cones.

As a rough guide, leave at least 60 cm (2 ft) between the widest branches and any heater, fireplace or doorway, so people can move around safely.

Step 3: Pick the Look

Once you know the size, the fun part starts. Artificial Christmas trees come in far more styles than real ones, and the style sets the tone for the whole room.

Classic green Christmas trees

A green tree is the traditional choice and goes with almost any decorations. It works with red and gold for a classic Christmas, silver and blue for a wintry look, or natural wood and jute for a farmhouse feel. The slim pre-lit tree is a deep green, and the 6ft artificial Christmas tree mixes light green with white for a brighter, fresher look.

Flocked Christmas trees

Flocked trees have a soft white coating on the branches that looks like fresh snow. They're the go-to for a "white Christmas" look, and they make coloured ornaments and warm lights really stand out. We stock the 6ft flocked Christmas tree and the 9ft flocked spruce, both in green or white, plus the pre-lit flocked tree if you want the lights done for you.

One thing to know about flocking: a little of it can shed when you first unpack and shape the branches, so set the tree up on a sheet or near a vacuum. It settles down after the first fluffing.

Snow tipped Christmas trees

A snow tipped tree sits between green and flocked. The branches are green, with white only on the very ends, like a tree after a light dusting of snow. It gives a frosty look without hiding the green. The 7ft snow tipped Christmas tree has 1,100 tips and comes with a separate string of 150 warm white LEDs.

Black Christmas trees

A black tree is a bold, modern statement. Gold, copper and silver ornaments glow against the dark branches, and warm white lights look especially striking. It's popular for stylish living rooms, shop windows, bars and Halloween-to-Christmas displays. Our black Christmas tree stands 7.5 ft tall with 500 warm white LEDs.

Slim and pencil Christmas trees

Slim Christmas trees keep the height but cut the width, as explained above. They suit small spaces and also look elegant in pairs, flanking a fireplace or a front door. The slim pre-lit Christmas tree adds a playful touch with a top that bends over like a Santa hat, while the 8ft pencil Christmas tree is the one to pick for tall rooms, with multicolour lights for a fun, traditional family look.

Step 4: Pre-Lit or Unlit?

This is mostly about how you like to decorate.

Pre-lit Christmas trees have the lights already fixed to the branches. You assemble the sections, plug in and you're done. There's no untangling strings, no lights wrapped too tightly at the top and too loosely at the bottom, and the job takes minutes instead of an evening. They're ideal if you want an easy, even glow every year.

Unlit Christmas trees give you total control. You choose the colour, brightness and style of lights, and you can change them whenever you like. If one string fails, you replace that string rather than dealing with lights built into the tree. Our unlit trees include the 6ft green and white tree, the 6ft flocked tree and the 9ft flocked spruce.

The 7ft snow tipped tree is a halfway house. It comes with its own LED string and remote, but the string isn't fixed, so you can arrange it however you like.

Almost all modern pre-lit trees use LED bulbs. LEDs use far less electricity than old filament bulbs, stay cool to the touch and last for many seasons.

Important: Check the Voltage on Pre-Lit Trees

We sell Christmas trees to customers around the world, and mains electricity is not the same everywhere. Homes in the USA, Canada and some other countries run on about 110 to 127V, while most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia use 220 to 240V. A pre-lit tree's light adapter is made for one or the other.

For example, our slim pre-lit Christmas tree and our 8ft pencil Christmas tree are both rated for 120V. In a 220 to 240V country they need a proper step-down voltage converter, not just a plug adapter. Always check the power rating on the product page against your country's supply. This list of mains electricity by country is a quick way to check. If you're not sure, contact us before ordering and we'll help.

Branch Tips: What the Numbers Mean

Manufacturers often list a "tip count" for artificial Christmas trees. Each tip is one of the small branch ends you can bend and shape. More tips generally means a fuller tree that hides the trunk better and holds more ornaments.

Tip count only makes sense alongside height and width, though. A 6 ft tree with 1,207 tips, like our 6ft flocked tree, will look much denser than a 9 ft tree with the same number. The 9ft flocked spruce has 2,514 tips to keep it full from top to bottom. Slim trees naturally have fewer tips, because there's less tree to cover.

How to Set Up an Artificial Christmas Tree

1. Pick the spot. Choose a flat floor away from radiators, heaters, fireplaces and busy doorways. Check that a power socket is nearby for pre-lit trees.
2. Assemble the stand. Open the stand fully and make sure it sits level. A wobbly stand is the main cause of tipped-over trees.
3. Add the sections. Most Christmas trees come in two to four sections that slot into each other, bottom first. On pre-lit trees, connect the light plugs between sections as you go.
4. Fluff the branches. This is the step that makes the biggest difference. Start at the bottom and work up. On each branch, separate the tips and spread them out and up, working from the trunk to the ends. Give a 6 ft tree at least 20 to 30 minutes, and a 9 ft tree longer. The supplier of our 8ft pencil tree suggests allowing 45 to 60 minutes.
5. Check the shape. Stand back and look from a few metres away. Fill gaps by bending nearby tips across.
6. Decorate. Lights first (on unlit trees), then garlands or ribbon, then ornaments, then the topper.

Decorating Your Tree

A good tree deserves good ornaments. A few ideas from our range:

• Classic and safe: the gold shatterproof Christmas ornaments are ideal for homes with children or pets, because they won't break if they fall.
• Colourful and traditional: the glass Christmas ball ornaments are small 40 mm baubles that suit slim trees and fill gaps on bigger ones.
• Rustic and farmhouse: the rustic jute star ornaments look lovely on green and flocked trees.
• Modern and graphic: the navy honeycomb paper ornaments add bold shapes.
• The finishing touch: the star tree topper.

As a rough guide, many decorators use about 10 to 15 ornaments per foot of tree height for a well-dressed look, so around 60 to 90 for a 6 ft tree. Mix sizes and finishes, and hang larger baubles deeper inside the branches to add depth.

For the rest of the room, see the Christmas garland with lights for the mantel, the hanging Christmas decorations for the ceiling, the Christmas projector light, the Christmas pillow covers, the snowman neon sign and the scented candle gift set. Everything else for the season is in our Christmas and holiday decor collection.

Artificial Christmas Trees vs Real Trees

Real trees have their charm, but artificial Christmas trees have practical advantages that make them the first choice for many homes:

• Reusable: buy once and use it for many years.
• No needles: nothing to sweep up, and nothing for pets to eat.
• No watering: no stand to top up every day.
• Allergy-friendly: no pine pollen or sap.
• Any style: flocked, black, slim and pre-lit options that real trees can't offer.
• Put up early: it won't dry out, so you can decorate from late November and leave it up into January.

The trade-off is that artificial trees don't have the scent of a real pine. A few scented candles nearby help with that. If you'd like to read more about the history of the tradition, the artificial Christmas tree has been around since the 19th century.

Safety Tips for Christmas Trees

• Keep every tree at least 1 m (3 ft) away from fireplaces, heaters, candles and other heat sources.
• Check light cables and plugs each year before use. Don't use damaged sets.
• Switch tree lights off when you go to bed or leave the house.
• Don't overload sockets or chain too many extension leads together.
• Check that indoor trees are used indoors only, as stated on each product.
• Anchor taller trees in homes with climbing children or pets.

Many artificial trees, including our slim pre-lit tree, use flame-retardant materials, but that is not the same as fireproof, so the usual care still applies.

Storing Your Tree After Christmas

Storing it well is what makes an artificial tree last for years.

1. Remove all ornaments, hooks and loose lights.
2. Take the tree apart section by section, and fold the branches gently upward.
3. Store the sections in the original box, a tree storage bag or a large plastic tub.
4. Keep it somewhere cool and dry. Very hot lofts and damp garages can make plastic brittle and cause flocking to yellow.
5. For pre-lit trees, coil spare cables loosely so the wires don't kink.

Christmas Trees in Homes with Children and Pets

Young children and curious pets love Christmas trees, sometimes a little too much. A few simple changes make a big difference:

• Choose a sturdy base. A wide, heavy stand is much harder to pull over. Check that the stand bolts are tight after assembly.
• Use shatterproof ornaments low down. Keep glass baubles and anything small enough to swallow on the upper branches, out of reach. Our shatterproof ornaments are made for exactly this.
• Hide cables. Run light cables behind the tree and along the wall, and use a cable cover if pets like to chew.
• Skip edible decorations. Candy canes and popcorn strings tempt dogs into the branches.
• Consider a corner spot. A tree tucked into a corner has two "safe" sides and is harder to knock over.
• Think about a slim tree. A narrower tree takes up less of the room where children play, and there are fewer low branches to grab.

Popular Colour Schemes for Christmas Trees

Choosing a colour scheme before you buy ornaments keeps a tree looking polished rather than random. Here are some combinations that work well with the trees in this collection:

• Classic red and gold on a green tree: warm, traditional and cheerful.
• Silver, white and ice blue on a flocked or snow tipped tree: a crisp, wintry look.
• Gold, copper and champagne on a black tree: glamorous and modern.
• Natural jute, wood and cream on a green or light green tree: a relaxed farmhouse style.
• Multicolour and playful on any tree: perfect for family homes and children's rooms. The multicolour LEDs on the 8ft pencil tree suit this look.

Whatever you pick, stick to two or three main colours and repeat them around the tree. Add one accent, such as a ribbon or a statement topper, to tie it together. Warm white lights suit almost every scheme. Bright white LEDs suit silver and blue themes best. For more on the history and styles of Christmas lights, see the overview.

Christmas Trees for Businesses

Our Christmas trees aren't just for homes. Shops, offices, restaurants, hotels and churches buy them every year. A 9 ft flocked tree makes an impressive centrepiece in a lobby or window. A pair of slim pre-lit trees can frame an entrance, and a black tree gives a stylish, modern display. Many public buildings prefer artificial trees because real trees dry out and can become a fire risk, and they can be reused year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Christmas Trees

What size Christmas tree should I buy? Measure your ceiling and subtract 15 to 30 cm for the topper. For most homes with 2.4 m (8 ft) ceilings, a 6 ft tree is the safest choice, and a 7 ft tree often fits.

Which Christmas trees are best for small spaces? Slim trees, like our 6 ft slim pre-lit Christmas tree, give full height at about half the width of a standard tree. For high ceilings, the 8 ft pencil tree is only about 22 in wide.

Are pre-lit Christmas trees worth it? If you want quick, even lighting every year, yes. If you like to change lights often, choose an unlit tree.

Does flocking come off? A little may shed when you first shape the branches. It settles after the first setup.

How long do artificial Christmas trees last? With careful storage, many years. Keep it cool, dry and boxed between seasons.

Do your trees come with a stand? Most of our trees include a stand. Check each product page for what's in the box.

Will a pre-lit tree work in my country? Check the voltage on the product page against your mains supply, and contact us if you're unsure.

How long does delivery take? See our shipping policy. Returns are covered in our return and refund policy.
