7 Pre-Lit Christmas Trees for an Effortlessly Festive Home

Anyone who’s seen the classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation knows that chopping down a Christmas tree can be more appealing in theory than in reality. Not only are real trees a pain to chop and transport the tree (as seen from the Christmas tree — with roots — on top of the Griswold family car), but they’re also tough to care for. Real trees, although beautiful and festive, can be messy, needy and sticky.

If you want the look of a real Christmas tree with the convenience of an artificial tree, read on! We found 7 natural-looking trees from Balsam Hill, Wayfair and Amazon that come pre-lit. There’s no excuse for not having the most festive tree on the block this year!

Plus, instead of tossing them at the end of the season, these picks can be broken down and stored in your basement for easy access next year. Happy holidays!
