As much as I love having a real Christmas tree, I’m not so much a fan of how much they cost, or having to constantly vacuum up the endless amount of dropped pine needles. But there’s just no way I’m going for an artificial alternative if it doesn’t look just as authentic and impressive as the real thing!

So, I’ve trawled through the reviews of hundreds of fake Christmas trees, and selected fifteen that seem to be truly impressing their owners — while also costing no more than £100.
Whether you’re after a faux fir so realistic you’d think it had been freshly cut down, or a bushy beauty that fits in with the aesthetic of your abode, you can be sure that every Christmas tree in this list is being raved about by its reviewers.

Get the traditional Lapland look with this snow-flocked fir

Definitely pick a pre-lit tree if you hate having to hang fairy lights
Complete with 300 evenly spaced warm-white LEDs, this 5ft tree is ideal if (like me) you find wrapping lights a really tedious task. It stands proudly at 5ft tall, and is the perfect in-between option if you don’t want anything too bushy — but equally can’t stand a sparse tree.

If bushy trees aren’t your bag, then you’ll love the silhouette of this wispy fir
Personally, I’m not a fan of a tree that looks too boxy or bushy — so this slightly more sparse 6ft option definitely tops my list. With its brown branches, subtly tapered tips, and snow-topped needles, reviewers can’t get over how well it mimics a real Alpine Fir.

If you’re looking to create quite the ‘snowy’ look, then this 6ft tree will help you get well on your way. Heavily flocked in faux snow, it’s almost closer to grey than green, and looks even more sparkly when paired with silver baubles and decorations.
