If you opened TikTok this past fall, then you probably encountered a Balsam Hill Christmas tree or two. They've racked up nearly 20 million views on the platform, making one thing clear: The brand's artificial Christmas trees are the hottest commodity for the holiday season this year. (And they've received the stamp of approval in a PureWow 100 review from our Editor-in-Chief, Jillian Quint.)

For Cyber Monday, Balsam Hill is offering up to 50 percent off sitewide—plus free shipping—if you enter the following codes listed on their site. Translation? Now is the time to score a Classic Blue Spruce Tree (from $499; $249) or Frosted Fraser Fir Tree (from $549; $349) that looks realistic enough to fool Santa. Better yet, each tree comes with an array of customizations from the height to the style to gorgeous twinkle light options that save you time *and* energy. (You can also snag discounts on a bunch of holiday decor during the sale.) Below, find every tree worth buying, plus a breakdown of what makes them splurge-worthy.

First, check out this BH Fraser Fir tree (from $699; $449), which starts at an impressive 5.5 feet and comes in multiple pre-lit options. The real draw, however, is that you can customize the shape of the tree itself. While the wide option allows you to really fill a room—offering plenty of space for ornaments and presents beneath—the slim shape is Balsam Hill's most slender profile, intentionally designed for tight spaces, corners and foyers. And of course, you have the full (regular) shape, which features a lush profile and sturdy branches that make it the brand's most popular option. The cherry on top is that it includes a scratch-proof stand, and it effortlessly flips into place, sans any heavy lifting. (Don't believe me? The TikTok above demonstrates just how easy it is to set up, pre-strung lights and all.)

Then, of course, there's the Vermont White Spruce Tree on sale (from $649; $399). It was awarded a whopping 95 points out of 100 in a PureWow 100 review from our Editor-in-Chief, Jillian Quint, who says: "My tree arrived in a compact (though certainly not small) bag that included the tree in four sections as well as a stand, extra bulbs and gloves for 'shaping.' Putting it together was fairly easy: you set up the base and then insert the sections into it and each other one at a time." Per Quint, "The coolest part is definitely the pre-strung lights, which you can customize based on your color and temperature preferences... granted my vision isn’t what it used to be, but even from very close up, I really cannot tell [that the tree is artificial]! The branches and shape are irregular enough to be convincing, and I like that you can pick your fullness to fit both your space and your preferences; some people like an iconic cone, while others prefer something less traditional."

Finally, a bunch of PureWow readers bought the BH Norway Spruce tree (from $799; $599) last year—and I can see why it's racked up more than 200+ glowing five-star reviews. Its slim silhouette was designed to closely mimic the Scandinavian look of the Picea abies, a European species, and includes a textured faux trunk that resembles real bark. Plus, once the branches are fluffed out, this baby looks like the real deal, and it's all thanks to the sturdy True Needle foliage, which is designed to draw in the eye using classic needles for fullness and quality you’d see in a real Scandi tree. "We were wowed by how pretty and natural-looking this tree was," one shopper raves. "The quality is amazing. The 'trunk' is brown textured so it looks much more realistic than a green or black metal pole... the stand is also of excellent quality—very sturdy, not one of those cheap-wheeled flimsy stands. Easy to assemble and super easy to roll our new tree (We also bought the wheeled stand so we could roll it down the hall to store in a closet)."

The TL;DR? You can shop some more must-have Balsam Hill trees below, but remember to act fast because Christmas is around the corner and they're bound to fly off the shelves.
