15 Artificial Christmas Trees That Look Like the Real Deal

It's an age-old holiday debate: do you prefer a real Christmas tree or an artificial one? While back in the day fake trees didn't look very convincing, today it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between a fir and a faux fir. Artificial trees don't require any of the usual maintenance that comes with a real tree: frequent waterings, constant vacuuming of needles, getting it in the stand, and let's not forget having to tie it to the top of the car. They're also a safer option since they won't be carrying any pests and have flame-retardant branches. And while it might cost you a little bit more up front, in the long run you are saving money by not having to purchase a new tree every season. Best of all, there are so many different styles and sizes. Whether you just want a tabletop tree or something grand, there's an artificial tree that suits your needs. Keep reading to see the best artificial Christmas trees for this holiday season.
