But if you’re in a hurry, here’s a quick look at my top five: Which are the best artificial Christmas trees in 2023? At a glance
I spent some time trying out all this year’s best artificial trees and you can read my reviews further down, followed by some advice on how to tell a good artificial Christmas tree from a bad one, as well as a guide to size, weight, materials and tip count. America’s Balsam Hill, who make some of the best artificial Christmas trees, base the branches for their faux Nordmann firs on clippings from real trees. This is thanks to a more extensive design process, enabling makers to craft more realistic branches and tips: “I can’t tell you how much goes into designing our faux collection to make every branch look as close to the real thing as possible,” says Chrissie Rucker, founder of White Company. Little wonder, now that they look almost identical to the real thing. The best artificial Christmas trees often sell out well before December. Make no mistake, people are already shopping for Christmas and it won’t be long before stocks start to run low.
