Our Realistic Christmas Trees Make Real Trees Grow!
Our work with the fantastic Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) has helped to restore the rainforest and save the home of wild Bornean orangutans.
For every order placed during our partnership (from 2019-2024), a real tree was planted in the fire-damaged rainforest.
Since 2024, we have increased our contributions to work with TreeApp. Our latest donation has been used to help restore the Usambara Forests in Tanzania.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, our pre-lit Christmas trees are highly energy efficient as they utilise LED technology rather than incandescent bulbs.
LED bulbs consume around 80–90% less electricity than other types, are cool to the touch, and cost less than 50p on average over the festive period.
The length of the lights is negligible in terms of cost too, with a difference of only a few pence when comparing a 200-light string and a 400-light string.
The best pre-lit Christmas trees include either LED lights, micro-LED lights (named ‘Ultra-Lit’ in our collection) or large bulb lights (as in our commercial-grade Ironwood Fir).
LED lights are small bulbs which are highly energy efficient.
Micro-LEDs are much smaller, with pre-lit trees including more of them to provide full coverage. They remain low cost to run and create a wonderful twinkling look that’s difficult to achieve by stringing manually.
Large bulbs are big, bright, and stand out wonderfully in high-traffic areas.
Most top-quality pre-lit Christmas trees are professionally strung with enough lights that you won’t need more for a full, sparkling display.
However, if you’re planning on making your tree extra dazzling, then additional LEDs will only improve your final look. There’s no such thing as too many lights in our book.
Yes, pre-lit Christmas trees are hugely popular because of how easy they are to set up. As the LEDs come pre-attached, there are no fiddly cables to deal with and no extra lights to buy – all you need to do is unbox, assemble, and get decorating!
Yes, there’s no reason why a pre-lit Christmas tree wouldn’t be just as realistic as an unlit tree.
In fact, many of our best-selling pre-lit Christmas trees come from the same tree families as our most realistic Christmas trees – just with lights attached! This means you get the same signature Christmas Tree World quality, with added easy set-up.
It depends on your preference. Regular pre-lit Christmas trees come with energy-efficient LEDs pre-attached to the branches, while ultra-lit Christmas trees utilise much smaller micro LEDs for a dazzling full-coverage display.
If you’re looking for the best pre-lit tree for a premium look, we recommend an ultra-lit Christmas tree.
No, fibre optic and blossom trees don’t come with bulbs on them – and that’s what makes them so easy to set up.
The light comes from a central base plugged into the mains which beams light into thin plastic strands built into the branches. The result is a vibrant display that needs no additional lights or decorations.
Most pre-lit Christmas trees are easy to set up due to the lights being pre-attached to the branches.
However, if you’re looking for the best pre-lit Christmas tree for easy set-up, look for trees with connectable lights that are powered simply by fitting the trunk together, such as our Montagna Fir.
It depends on the range you’ve chosen. The most popular LED light colour for pre-lit Christmas trees is generally either warm white LEDs or bright white LEDs, although multicoloured options are highly rated by our customers.
Yes, pre-lit Christmas trees are very easy to store given that you don’t need to remove the lights and store them separately.
The best pre-lit Christmas trees come with professionally strung LEDs which are placed carefully into the branches with cables hidden from view. This makes storing the tree much simpler.
The number of lights you should look for on a pre-lit tree is determined by your tree’s size and fullness.
But remember, the amount of lights you need on a pre-lit tree is often less than what you might need for an unlit tree with lights added by manually stringing.
The reason is that as pre-lit trees include professionally strung bulbs, they are carefully placed in all the best positions for maximum light coverage on each specific tree.
For instance, the best 7ft pre-lit Christmas trees will include around 400 LEDs, while an unlit tree with manually strung lights will need around 500 LEDs minimum to deliver the same visual impact.
Yes, your entire pre-lit tree should stay lit if one bulb goes out as each LED bulb works on its own circuit. Traditional incandescent bulbs will turn all lights out if one is faulty, however, so try to avoid buying pre-lit Christmas trees which include these types.
Yes, our app-controlled trees are some of the best pre-lit Christmas trees for creating a customisable display. Just download the app to start selecting your colours and creating colour effects in minutes!
You shouldn’t be able to see many cables on a pre-lit Christmas tree. As the lights are professionally strung and pre-attached to the branches, the light cables are naturally hidden within the branches for a less fiddly experience that’s also much easier on the eye.
Pre-lit Christmas trees which are powered by the trunk slotting together (like our Montagna Fir) hide all cables, so if you’re looking for a complete cable-free experience, the Montagna Fir is your best bet.
