Choosing your Christmas tree is arguably one of the most important parts of Christmas planning. It's the heart of your decor, the place where 'Santa' stows the presents, and where your precious ornaments are displayed.

Whether you're wholly traditional and want a rustic, deep green tree or if you want to bring some glitz and glamour to the holidays with vivid colours and lights, there's a range of Christmas tree styles to choose from. Christmas Tree World is here to help you find your perfect one with this helpful guide.

1. Realistic Christmas trees

Realistic Christmas trees are designed to look like a real Christmas conifer without the hassle of cleaning up fallen needles or spritzing them with water.

They're also a more sustainable option than real trees, as you can use them time and time again without having to take an annual trip to the tip.

They come either pre-lit or unlit depending on if you enjoy taking the time to string your lights yourself or get your kids involved. Whichever option you choose, you won't feel like you missed out by not having a real tree for Christmas.

2. Pre-lit Christmas tree styles

If you want your festive space to sparkle without the hassle of detangling last year's string lights, opt for a pre-lit Christmas tree.

At Christmas Tree World, all of our pre-lit trees come with lights that pair perfectly with your chosen tree, delicately illuminating the branches and your Christmas decorations.

3. Snowy Christmas trees

Create a winter wonderland with a snowy Christmas tree. Whether you want your tree to look like a soft dusting of snow has fallen overnight or you want thick, snow-covered branches that make up an almost entirely white Christmas tree, it's sure to turn heads.

You can guarantee a white Christmas even if it doesn't snow outside!

4. Bushy Christmas trees

If you want a Christmas tree with full foliage and no gaps between the branches, a bushy Christmas tree will be perfect for you. They look just like real trees and can come pre-lit or with faux snow dusted on them.

Although they're a full-looking focal point all on their own, they'll still look great wrapped in tinsel and covered with colourful baubles.

5. Upside down Christmas trees

Create a one-of-a-kind winter wonderland with an upside down Christmas tree. They're a great option if you live in a smaller house or flat too, since they'll save you a lot of floor space!

Simply hang them from the ceiling and add your favourite tree decorations for an eye-catching twist on your Christmas decor that's sure to be a conversation starter for any of your festive guests.

6. Mini Christmas trees

Want to add some Christmas joy to your office desk? Maybe the kids want their own little Christmas tree for their bedroom. Wherever you're thinking of adding a little more festive joy, it couldn't be easier with an easily-transportable mini Christmas tree.

If you're getting one for your kid's bedroom, why not go for one of our vibrant fibre optic mini trees in baby pink or blue? Both options come pre-lit, covered in matching baubles, and placed in a light-up pot that doubles up as a comforting nightlight. They'll quickly add some sparkle and make your kids more excited for Christmas Day (if that's even possible!).

7. Slim Christmas trees

Slim Christmas trees are designed to naturally slip into any space while still being the focal point of your decor. If you're low on room or prefer the understated aesthetic of a slim tree, then these are for you.

They come in a wide range of colours, whether your colour scheme would work best with a shining tinsel tree, a snowy white Christmas tree, or a rustic and realistic slim tree, we have a style to suit every taste.

8. Fibre optic Christmas trees

Dazzle your family and guests with a fibre optic Christmas tree. With their striking, modern colour combinations and visual effects, they're sure to be the talking point of any room.

You can opt for the traditional and popular (for good reason) frosted fibre optic tree or a white-blue ripple effect tree with snowy white foliage and captivating blue lights that can flash, twinkle, or make waves. Whichever fibre optic tree catches your attention, it's sure to add fun and charm to your Christmas.

FAQs

What is the easiest style of Christmas tree to decorate?

If you're looking for a completely hassle-free Christmas tree, we'd recommend our pre-lit or fibre optic Christmas trees. Most of the hassle lies in detangling those pesky string lights you've had stored in your attic since last Christmas.

You can completely skip that step if you don't enjoy hanging your own lights on your tree and just go straight to placing your favourite ornaments!

All of our artificial trees are designed to be easy as pie to put up compared to a real Christmas tree, with no needles to contend with, evenly bushy foliage, and different colour options.

Are artificial Christmas trees bad for the environment?

Even though artificial trees are plastic, they're also long-lasting and can be a real investment. Unlike real Christmas trees that end up at the tip every year, if you look after your artificial Christmas tree it'll last you many years.
