Whether you're allergic, have curious pets, or simply don't want to deal with the fuss of fallen needles, there are plenty of reasons to display an artificial Christmas tree rather than a real one. Even Martha prefers faux holiday trees (her personal collection is a sight to behold!). They come in a variety of styles, they last year after year, and you don't have to worry about them drying out.

When shopping for an artificial Christmas tree this holiday season, you'll find that many options look just like the real ones you'd find at your local tree farm. From the trunk to the pine needle, these trees look authentic—meaning you don't have to sacrifice tradition for convenience.

Whether you're seeking a pre-lit tree or one without trimmings, these fake Christmas trees will fill your home with festive cheer.
