The only upside of being sick last weekend is I did a deep dive into artificial Christmas trees because I wanted to get another one. I must have looked at a thousand… here are my picks for the best artificial Christmas trees for 2021.
18 Top Rated Picks That Are In Stock Today!!
We have all seen the news about all the huge shipping delays happening. I saw a news piece the other morning where they specifically were talking about artificial Christmas trees and showing the factories where all the trees are just sitting and probably won’t make it over in time for Christmas!!
Yikes, so if you are in the market you better get moving and find one that’s in stock now. As I’m writing this on October 30th my top tree picks are all in stock with quick shipping dates.

What are the different types of artificial trees?
The main 3 types of trees are traditional green trees, flocked trees (the look of a snow-covered tree), and frosted tip trees. A few years ago you would have to flock your own tree with a can of spray snow! They are extremely popular now and easy to find.
What should I look for when shopping for a tree?
One of the biggest differences in all the different artificial trees has to do with the number of branch tips a tree has. The higher number of branch tips the fuller your tree will be. Which helps an artificial tree has a more realistic look to it.
Should I get a prelit tree?
Years ago one of the biggest complaints of prelit trees is that if one bulb went out the entire tree would go out. The technology has improved quite a bit when it comes to lights and most trees have long-lasting LED bulbs now. The upside of an unlit tree is that you can add whatever kind of lights you like…and there are so many on the market to choose from!
