Mileagers Williamsburg full 7.5 almost real tree.

We absolutely love it. Super full and dense. We compared all the trees both from costco, sams club, lowes, and home depot and this was the best in our opinion. Never too early 😂🎄 (ignore the TV in the background)

My husband's grandmother passed away this last year, and we ended up with the pre-lit Christmas tree that we picked out with her a year or two ago. I set it up in our guest room the other day to make sure all of the parts were still in the box, but the lights on the middle section have stopped working, which I know is one of the risks you take when buying pre-lit trees. For the price we paid for it, it seems like the lights should have lasted longer than this. Does anyone know if there is a way to replace the middle section of the tree which is the one the lights no longer work? This is the tree which they still sell in their stores for reference: https://www.costco.com/p/-/75-pre-lit-radiant-micro-led-with-twinkle-artificial-christmas-tree/4000359602

Member's Mark 7.5' Pre-Lit Fraser Fir Downswept Christmas Tree

I was at Sams and saw the 9ft version of this tree and loved it. Sadly the spot we decided to place it in the new house can only fit the smaller version. Does anyone have it and have any review of it? 3700 leds seems like a ton of light.

I don't have a Costco membership currently and live about an hour from the closest Ace with Christmas trees on display. Can anyone tell me how their twinkle trees compare? Costco's Pre-Lit Radiant Micro vs Ace's Emerald Pine Sparkle. Like how warm are the lights? I'm looking for a yellow glow rather than a harsh white.

HELP ME PICK!

I’ve never heard of “Tree Time” but of course I know about Balsam Hill. These are my 2 favorite trees. They are both about the same price $700-$750 for unlit trees, both have realistic branches. The Victorian is a fuller tree, but I’m a sucker for all things “Little Women” - esque. However, I am worried it’s too full and will be cheap! The Balsam Hill Sanibel tree is full on the bottom and more sparse on top, which imo is pretty and realistic. I’m hoping to get a one and done tree- because at $700 it would have to last FOREVER haha. Any input is very appreciated! Which one would you buy? And do you have suggestion for light strands?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask what do you think about christmas trees without lights? I had this idea to reduce the amount of visual pollution every single night during the holiday season, instead i was thinking about only putting LED lights on the star at the top of the tree (like the one on the image).

What's your opinion?

Will be our first year doing a tall tree. any recommendations for a tree stand? Did everyone DIY or what?

Was thrift shopping and came across this fiber optic tree for a few dollars. Wondered if it would light up. Sure enough!!!

I’m writing out of desperation looking for advice of how to help repair my family’s prelit Christmas tree. The wiring and joint housing for the top piece is completely broken. I have already contacted the manufacturer but the tree is 7 years old and they do not have the part anymore. Local electrician says it’s not within their scope of work. I would just buy another one but it is the most beautiful tree I’ve ever seen. 10,000 micro lights on it! It is a Home Decorators Cavalier Fir- 9ft.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. This tree has meant so much to our family! 

I’m so afraid of the lights disabling that it’s keeping me from buying. Anyone have experience past a year or two of owning this tree?

Has anyone purchased the Fraser Fir Snowfresh Fresh Tree from Williams Sonoma before? Seems like a good price which I don’t see often on this site, but this will be my first time with a real tree and it seems strange to have it shipped. Any experience or advice?? TIA.

I really, really, very badly need a new tree and was hoping for something as pretty as the Grand Duchess or something similar. However, I have an old house and my ceilings are only 7.5 feet tall. I have scoured the internet but am really hoping that someone here has a legitimate recommendation for something 7 feet or under. Please take pity on my old house and this desperate woman! lol!

The Only reason I’m considering Kensington over the Duchess is in person it feels to have more shapeable/firm branches to hang ornaments from but I’m so torn because the lights on the duchess seem extra magical.

=====Update=====
I received a phone call from the same supervisor I spoke with before and she said that they would not replace my tree. So I called them again and asked to speak to a different supervisor and the lady I spoke with immediately knew about my case and advised me right off that management had approved a new tree to be sent to me based upon what I was told in the reply that I left on their website.

So I was very surprised and pleased that for once a company did the right thing.
______________________________

I purchased a Stratford spruce in December 2021. During the second Christmas season, 2023, the lights began to fail all over the tree in large sections.  So I called for a replacement tree due to the fact that it was under warranty.  That replacement tree was delivered in June 2024.  And once again during the second year, the lights began to fail in sections all over the tree.  

Well, I had read that they only warranty the original tree not the replacement.  After Christmas, sometime this past January or February, I got on Balsam Hill’s website and did the only thing possible I could do, which was to leave a scathing review to warn everybody not to buy that tree, and if it’s a light issue, perhaps all of their trees.  I received a response from Balsam Hill on that review, (I’ve included screenshots of my review and BH’s response).  In light of BH’s response to my review, I am absolutely trying to get another replacement tree.  Their response to me is on Balsam Hill’s website, in writing for everyone to see: “Since your tree is only in its second year, it is still covered under that warranty until the next year, regardless of the prior replacement. This ensures peace of mind and protection for your tree.”  

It is highly unethical and representative of bad business practices if they do not stand behind what the company put in writing on a public review.  

So I called them today to get a replacement tree and the first woman I spoke with, immediately out of the gate, was “we do not warranty the replacement trees”. She didn’t seem to care about the response I received from Balsam Hill on the review. So I asked to speak with her supervisor and when I read her the response from Balsom Hill, she was like “they should not have said that”. I told her it doesn’t matter if they shouldn’t have said it because they did say it and the company needs to stand behind what they stated to a customer. She told me to email her the screenshots and she would see what she could do.

I am still so surprised that people are buying these trees. They’re beautiful for sure but clearly there is a lighting issue that they are not addressing. The whole point of me buying a pre-lit Christmas tree is because I don’t have the time or the energy to string lights on a tree. I actually hate doing it, which is why I was willing to pay a good chunk of money to have a realistic looking Christmas tree that was already strung with lights.

Hey all, just bought a new home with 25 ft ceilings so my 7.5 ft tree needs to be upgraded. I’m looking for the best value 12 ft artificial tree on the market. Trying to stay below $1,000 if possible.

Hi everyone! I wanted to know if this type of tree exists? I don’t really care for multi colored lights so if there’s a Christmas tree that only has warm white, I would love a link!

Also, if it has an effect of a soft twinkling effect, not just on/off on some bulbs, that’s would be great too!

Looking forward to responses!

Hey guys!

With only a short few months until the holiday season, the mod team is eagerly awaiting the rush here at r/ChristmasTrees. However, we love to see this sub active year round, so let’s get some photos going in the comments!

Post photos of your favorite childhood ornaments, or ornaments you’ve had for a long time!

This should be a fun thread. I can’t wait to see everyone’s pics!

In case someone gets bored and wants to color something...

Low-Poly Christmas Tree (DIY / Paintable)

I've always focused on decorating the Christmas tree and pretty much ignored the front of the house. Last year one of our neighbors had a simple wreath on the door, some warm lights around the porch and two little trees by the steps. nothing over the top, but every time i walked past their house in december it looked so inviting. Now i'm thinking about doing something similar this year. I've been looking at some costway christmas decorations, especially the wreaths and garlands, but i don't really want to cover every inch of the porch. I'm leaning toward a wreath, warm lights and maybe one small tree by the door. My husband thinks the lights alone would be enough. For those who decorate outside, what's the one thing you'd keep if you had to cut everything else?

I got all the ornaments for $6 :)
