Pre-Lit Artificial Tree

[Anonymous]

This year, because of tariffs, they will be much more expensive. If you find one you love, try to get it on sale. Interview with Balsam Hill reveals they did layoffs, preordered as much as possible before tariffs took effect. Stores ordered less than usual because of high price. There will be shortages this year, so get it early.

I just got this, and love it: https://shop.nationaltree.com/products/6-ft-arcadia-pine-cashmere-tree?_pos=2&_psq=arcadia&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=43725072171226

It's SUPER full. I love it. I put on my own lights because I didn't want to deal with a pre-lit tree not lighting after a few years. I think it also comes in 7.5 feet.

I have a beautiful Balsam Hill tree, but got it unlit. I’ve read too many complaints at the lights going out on pre lit trees after just a couple years. Much better to just buy separate lights. It doesn’t take that long to put them on and off. Plus we can switch it up over time.

Same here! So satisfying to just plug it in and add a few ornaments.

When it kicks the bed I’m going back to live trees but small ones - empty nesters now and I love the quaintness of a small live tree

Did the same last year, and we were very happy with the one we bought ("Most realistic" category). My kids love color lights right now, and I like that I'll be able to change it up in other years. I read up on this a bunch before I bought one and the biggest recommendation was to pay attention to the tip/branch count.
