Best pre-lit Christmas trees 2019

Christmas is knocking, are you ready? If you’ve yet to find the perfect tree for your house or flat, don’t worry - there’s still time.

While real fir trees can be difficult to lug home and need to be repurchased every December, investing in an artificial tree will save you the expense and ensure you have one ready to go, year after year.

It’s thought that the traditional of bringing a lit tree into the home for Christmas became popularised in 16th Century Germany, but the truth is, having a tree in the home stretches back beyond Christianity; it’s thought that the Pagans used them to decorate their homes ahead of the winter solstice way before the birth of Jesus H.

You can get them in every shape and size - perfect if you’re short on space but still want that jolly Christmas vibe.

The beauty of artificial ones is that you can even get ones with lights embedded within the realistic looking branches and needles. It makes them even more economical because you won’t need to shell out for extra fairy lights. When it comes to storage, everything can be bundled away in one compact package - space-squeezed Londoners, we’ve got you.

If you’re not sure where to start looking for a pre-lit tree, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ve scoured the Internet to bring you the best models out there, all delivered right to your door.
