Faux Christmas trees - our edit of the very best to buy now
Faux Christmas trees that look as good as the real deal

Faux Christmas trees might not exude the scent of a fairytale Nordic forest, but they also don't drop their spiky needles all over your floor.
Buying faux is a smart way to take the faff out of the festive season. Best of all, you can bust out your chosen spruce year after year.
For 2020, you’ll find a host of impressively realistic firs sitting alongside fibre optic Christmas trees, frosted limited editions, glitzy gold offerings and eco-friendly wooden styles. Fed up with tangled fairy lights? Look to the pre-lit Christmas trees that are now widely available. Short on space? Pop a miniature faux Christmas tree on a console table or opt for something slimmer.
Whatever you choose, your tree is sure to stay in tip-top condition until Christmas Day, proudly guarding all your lovingly-wrapped gifts.
