How to Shop for the Perfect Christmas Tree

Updated: Dec 15, 2023

The holiday season is upon us, and that means it's time to find the perfect Christmas tree to adorn your home with festive cheer. With so many options available, navigating the world of Christmas tree shopping can be overwhelming. Fear not, as we've prepared a quick guide about How to Shop for the Perfect Christmas Tree to help you make the right choice and turn your living room into a winter wonderland.


Determine Your Space

Before heading out to pick the tree of your dreams, measure the space where you plan to display it. Consider the height, width, and any other specifications to ensure a perfect fit. This step will help you narrow down your options and make the selection process much smoother.


Shop By Tree Size

Discover the ideal Christmas tree by size. Our diverse collection ensures you will find the perfect fit for your space, whether you need a compact tabletop tree or a grand centerpiece tree. With various heights available, you can find the tree that perfectly suits your holiday vision. When choosing the right tree size for your space, remember to account for another 12 inches (minimum) if using a tree topper or star.



Choose Your Favorite Tree Style

After determining your tree’s size, consider its style. Different styles fit better in different spaces, so find a tree that works with your theme and budget. Whether you prefer the classic charm of a traditional evergreen tree or the modern elegance of a flocked tree, selecting a style that resonates with your holiday spirit is key.




Decide Between Artificial or Live Trees

Now, the crucial decision – artificial or live? Artificial trees are convenient, reusable, and come in various styles. Live trees bring the fresh scent of the outdoors into your home but require more maintenance. Consider your preferences, lifestyle, and the ambiance you want to create in your home.


Shop By Pre-Lit Or Unlit

Many Christmas trees, both artificial and live, come pre-lit and make decorating a breeze. However, if you prefer to deck out the tree with your own lights, we have unlit trees as well.
