The Balsam Hill Classic Blue Spruce is one of the highest star-rated Christmas trees online.
I love the fact that it’s a beautiful tree with thick boughs and 3,000 branch tips which give it a realistic look.
When assembled, the 7.5 ft. Balsam Hill Spruce is 5 feet wide and can be purchased in 5 different sizes (4 smaller and 1 taller)
⭐⭐ Best Artificial Christmas Tree w/ Dark Green ⭐⭐
Personally, I love how it looks w/ the dark green colour and brown branches. Many of the artificial trees have a lighter green colour — dark green is my preference.
The Balsam includes a tree stand which makes for easy set-up. It weighs 47 pounds, so you may need help, but it shouldn’t be difficult.
Another bonus with this option is that it includes gloves so that users can safely set up the tree without pricking their hands.
When purchasing, you have the different height options + unlit or lit (1,000 lights). Plus, you can also upgrade to LED lights.
Treetopia White Christmas Tree
- SLIM SHAPE: 6 feet tall (including stand) and 32 inches wide.
- SNOWY WHITE: Features 100% white PVC needles
- CLASSIC LIGHTS: Composed of 300 hand-strung timeless clear incandescent lights that are UL® listed so if one bulb burns out the others stay lit.
- FUSS-FREE ASSEMBLY: Fully hinged branches allow you to spend less time setting up and more time enjoying the holidays with 486 branch tips.
- EVERYTHING YOU NEED: Includes a premium white tree stand, on/off foot pedal, extra bulbs and fuses
If you’re looking to purchase a White Christmas Tree this season, I think the Treetopia 6 ft. or 7 ft. tree is a great choice.
Slim yet full-shaped, the 6 ft tree is 32 inches wide and includes 486 branch tips. As you can see, the tree looks very thick, and you can barely see the branches (which are more traditional than white trees).
⭐⭐ Best White Christmas Tree ⭐⭐
It’s one of the newer trees online, but so far has excellent buyer reviews – many mention that it looks exactly like it does in the photos.
Pre-lit w/ 300 hand-strung lights, it gives off a nice glow at night (and looks great near a window!)
It surprised me how lightweight it is, even though it’s a full-shaped tree.
Only 17 lbs, it’s one of the lightest artificial Christmas trees on my list – super easy to set up.
Best of all – it’s surprisingly very affordable. There are other white trees which are cheaper and don’t look as thick. Personally, I think this one is the most visually appealing.
Balsam Hill Christmas Tree
The Balsam Hill Fir Premium Pre-lit Christmas tree is made of 2 types of needles and is designed for a full-tree, realistic look — 4,550 branch tips expand on this 53-inch-wide tree.
There are many features included in the price: a tree stand, a storage bag and gloves. Spare bulbs and fuses are also included.
I love the fact that this Christmas tree has an on/off pedal.
The 6.5 ft. tree comes w/ 630 lights. There are 4 height options for people who need a tree that’s a different size.
This model has LED clear lights designed to offer a soft light. It is also to buy this tree with regular clear lights. Unlit Christmas trees are also available.
Very easy to assemble — however, it can take a little time to fluff the tree because of the number of branch tips, but it should be fine after a few hours.

What buyers like most is that there’s a lot of room for hanging ornaments.
Several things are included in this Christmas tree:
- Tree stand ; 500 lights

I love the fact that you don’t have to try to squeeze in behind the tree to reach the wall to unplug this tree when you want to turn it off. The on/off pedal is easy to reach and easy to operate.
There are 500 lights and 1,510 branch tips on the pre-lit version. It may take a little effort to fluff them all, but it’s worth it because they help the tree look full.

I love the on/off foot pedal used to operate this tree.

The Dunhill Fir includes 1,500 lights which are assembled on a 12-foot tree. (which is the tallest tree on my list)
One of the nice things about this model is that it’s fire-resistant.
This Dunhill Fir Tree is just over 7 ft. wide, which means it’ll take up a lot of space — since it’s almost twice as tall as most of the other models on this list, it may take time to fluff it out completely.
In my opinion, this is the best artificial Christmas tree for large rooms w/ high ceilings.
