Ho, Ho, Hold Up! I Just Found 3 Artificial Christmas Trees on Sale for October Prime Day (and They Look Just Like the Real Deal)

Balsam Hill has gone viral on TikTok for a reason: The brand is unrivaled when it comes to crafting life-like artificial Christmas. The 7.5-foot Blue Spruce above is no exception—including dense, blue-green and silvery-hued needles, paired with light brown tinted stems. It also features more than 2,960 branch tips, all derived from classic needle foliage, so the tree has a rich, full appearance (with plenty of space to showcase your ornaments). Even better? It's engineered to withstand years of use and storage. The included tree stand has scratch-proof rubber feet for stability, and thanks to its hinged branches and compact design, the tree folds up neatly for storage. (Bonus: It comes with an off-season storage bag to keep it in pristine condition.)

Just take it from one Amazon reviewer, who raves, “This tree was so easy to put together—even without reading the instructions. It came with two pairs of stretchy gloves to protect my hands while fluffing the branches. (Honestly, I didn’t think they were necessary at first, but they were a nice touch.) As a perfectionist and professional decorator, I fluffed each branch meticulously, and within about an hour, the tree was beautifully full—no gaps at all!” She also adds, “It turned out to be incredibly dense and lifelike [and] the tree stood up to the weight [of my decorations] perfectly… it spun smoothly on its stand like it was on a lazy Susan, which made decorating even easier."

The cherry on top (aside from the fact that it’s 36 percent off right now)? The tree comes with a three-year warranty, so it’s an investment that will pay off for holiday seasons to come.

With more than 9,000 five-star reviews from beloved customers, it’s easy to see why the Dunhill Fir artificial Christmas tree is a no-brainer swap for your usual holiday pine. For one Amazon shopper, who had only ever bought real trees, investing in a sapless, waterless and loose needle-free tree was of top priority. “Then, of course, you have a dead tree carcass to dispose of afterward...yippee,” she writes. “I am so very happy I went with this one, complete with a reasonable price tag! It took a couple of hours to completely fluff it out after getting it out of the box for the first time, but I wanted it to be thoroughly done...It is a very nice, very full, sturdy and well-shaped Christmas tree. Seriously, I cannot say enough about how perfect it is and it is just what I was looking for! Mission for finding the perfect Christmas tree accomplished (and I can to use it for many more years to boot)!”

Oh, and did I mention that it comes in various sizes, anywhere from four to twelve feet tall? It also features hundreds of individually crafted branch tips made from hypo-allergenic and fire-resistant needles that, when fluffed and primed, look just like a real, full-bodied tree that’s ready for lights and ornaments. Plus, it features a durable metal base and the branches are on pre-attached hinges that can drop down easily for set up or take down within 45 to 60 minutes. Just pop on a Christmas movie and the setup will fly by in no time.

For folks who want the dazzle without any of the hassle, you might want to consider a pre-lit tree like this gorgeous 7.5-foot Carolina Pine artificial tree that was originally $620 and is now on sale for $286. (Ahem…that’s $334 in savings, people!) This beauty features hundreds of individually crafted branch tips that sit on pre-attached, hinged branches for easy setup and storage, but it's the stunning 750 white lights and pine cone decorations that’ll take your breath away.

“I was so skeptical about getting a tree online,” admits one buyer. “But when I saw the images of this one I HAD to have it. It arrived a day early (yay). Immediately upon opening the box, I knew I made the right choice. The branches are beautiful! The way they added the brown to make them look like real branches is so simple, yet sooooo effective. It looks like a real tree, even up close. After spending a good one-to-two hours assembling it (you have to separate all of the branches one by one to ensure there are no bald spots), I got to see it in its full glory. [It’s] worth every penny.”

Similarly, other customers rave about how well-made the tree is, remarking on its heaviness, sturdiness and density. If you ask me, it's the ideal first Christmas tree for newlyweds, apartment renters or new homeowners who may not have the means or time to purchase ornaments or string lights separately. Bonus: It has hypo-allergenic and fire-resistant needles, too.
