The most exciting time of year is finally here! As the festive season approaches, there's nothing quite like the joy and anticipation that fills the air. However, accompanying this merriment is the Christmas tree, often bringing forth a multitude of questions: What type of artificial Christmas trees are the best? How do I choose a fake Christmas tree? Should I buy a pre-lit or unlit Christmas tree?
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about artificial Christmas trees, from choosing the right size and shape to finding the perfect colour and lighting options. So, let's unwrap the magic of Christmas trees and discover the secrets to turning your home into a winter wonderland.
Sizing Up Your Perfect Christmas Tree
The first step in choosing your ideal artificial Christmas tree is deciding on the size. It's not just about the height; it's also about where you plan to place it and how much space you want it to occupy.
Mini trees and 6ft Christmas trees are great for tabletops or small apartments, adding a touch of Christmas cheer to limited spaces.
The 7ft Christmas tree stands as a popular choice, perfectly suited for UK's 8ft ceiling heights. It strikes a balance between size and impact, fitting well into most living rooms.
For those with higher ceilings or a desire to go big, the 8ft Christmas tree make a statement effortlessly and allow for larger decorations.
Here at Taskers, our trees come with a standard hinged construction, eliminating the frustration of arranging and hooking individual branches. Additionally, your Everlands Christmas Tree* is backed by a 2-year guarantee, extendable up to 12 years when registered on the Everlands site, ensuring your peace of mind.

Choosing the Right Shape for Your Space
Now that you've determined the size, let's talk about tree shapes. The two primary options are full Christmas trees and slim Christmas trees. Full trees have a classic, bushy appearance, providing plenty of space for ornaments. Slim trees, on the other hand, are perfect for tight spaces or when you want a more contemporary look. Consider your room size and style when deciding on the shape.

Selecting Your Preferred Species
Artificial Christmas trees come in various species, each with its own charm. Popular options include the classic fir, spruce, and pine. Fir trees often have a traditional, bushy appearance, while spruce trees boast a slender profile. Pine trees, on the other hand, feature long, flexible branches that are great for hanging ornaments.
Exploring Tree Colours
When it comes to colour, traditional green trees are timeless, complementing any holiday decor. If you're seeking a winter wonderland vibe, consider a white or frosted Christmas tree. White trees provide a blank canvas for colourful decorations, while frosted trees mimic the look of freshly fallen snow.

To Pre-lit or Not to Pre-lit
Deciding between pre-lit and unlit Christmas trees is a matter of convenience and personal preference. Pre-lit Christmas trees come with built-in lights, saving you time and effort during setup. However, if you prefer to customise your lighting, opt for an unlit Christmas tree and add your own string Christmas lights.

Shining a Light on LED Options
For energy efficiency and safety, LED Christmas lights are the way to go. Choose between warm white, cool white and multicoloured LEDs to create your desired holiday ambience. Some trees even offer colour-changing options and remote controls for easy adjustments.
