Depending on how old you are, you likely visualize the silver aluminum pine trees from the 1960s when you think of artificial trees. Admittedly, artificial trees in the past looked very little like the real thing, but now artificial trees are similar and often times even better in appearance than live Christmas trees. So if you haven’t viewed an artificial tree in several years, it’s time to look again.
Advances in artificial-tree design have helped many bring home the “perfect tree” without the fuss, while others turn their tree into a festive focal point with innovative colors and features. Have you ever cut down a tree with a transparent trunk filled with bubbles?
Today families enjoy the choice of buying artificial Christmas trees in all shapes, colors and sizes. You can buy white, pink, green, flocked or iced Christmas trees ranging in size from 12 inches up to 40 feet. Many come pre-wired with an assortment of different types of lights to brighten your holidays.
So take another glance. Whether you prefer the look of a traditional tree or if the aluminum tree with the spinning color wheels is really what you want (they are making a comeback), one thing is for sure: You and your holiday guests will be surprised at how real – and real fun – your artificial tree is.
