It’s officially October, which means it’s practically almost Christmas! Jokes aside… If you’re planning to get a new Christmas tree for the upcoming holiday season, between you and me, now is the time to do it! Stock and shipping times are unexpected these days, so if you want to have it up and decorated for the season, this is your window to prepare. While I love the smell and charm of a real tree, I’m not a fan of the mess. So, I haven’t had a real tree since I was maybe 6 years old. Faux is for me! For your convenience, we rounded up a bunch of artificial Christmas trees, from traditional to flocked, full to sparse, and everything in between.

Year after year, this Christmas tree is a fan favorite, which also happens to be my favorite. It looked so charming in our bonus room, tied in bows with the choo-choo train below. Over the years, it has lived with us in three homes, and I hope we have it for years to come. Christmas 2020, it sat proudly in the formal dining room, and I’m still not over it. And, of course, for Christmas 2018, it was the main tree in our cozy living room. Here’s a round-up of traditional artificial Christmas trees I think you’ll love, including some pre-lit!
I just think there’s nothing more wintery than a flocked tree. You can certainly DIY the flocked look yourself (though it can be super messy), OR you can get one of these stunners.
I love the look of a sparse Charlie Brown tree. There’s something so simple and nostalgic about a tree that looks hand-picked from your local tree farm. Here are some charming, sparse trees I’ve got my eyes on.
IMO, I think we’re about to see a lot more abundant, lush-looking, chubby Christmas trees. You heard it here first.
Next up, we have some cutie tabletop trees. You can put a small Christmas tree on a table, a bench, a dresser, or a front porch. I think these little guys are cute as is, strung with lights, or even decorated with a few small ornaments. Whatever you like! Here are a bunch at every price point.
This is for those who shop almost exclusively at Amazon. I get it. Shipping times are usually spot-on, and it’s just so dang convenient. We got you covered.
Don’t worry. We still have more fall content ahead of us, but I’m so excited for this upcoming Holiday season!
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Hello, CLJ team.. thanks for the amazing recommendations. i was wondering if you have any suggestions on Balsam hill Christmas trees or trees which look most realistic (9ft)
Tried to leave a comment under the post “16 Top Amazon Products I swear by” but the post did not have the comment section. I am super interested in purchasing the bar stools like the ones you have in your beautiful kitchen, but I would like to know if it is comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Thanks for responding.
Trying to get our comment section fixed! The stools have a really easy adjustable height and swivel and I’d say for a hard surface stool they’re surprisingly comfy.
Great job! Thank you for the fantastic list of Christmas trees that you put together. The last time that I ordered a tree it took me a long time sorting through different ones.
Just purchased the tree that you have in your bonus room on a great close out deal from Wayfair! Thanks for the recommendation 😊
What lights do you like to use with this tree? Would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!
