We’re a few weeks away from Christmas, but it’s not too late to decorate for festivities if you haven’t gotten your tree yet. Consider the painless route: a pre-lit faux pop-up Christmas tree. No, it won’t smell like fresh pine, but it’ll save your back from having to load the real thing onto your car roof, not to mention a few bucks and a trip to the farm. We found a pre-lit that’s 25% off its regular price, coming in at just under $100, and the consensus is that it takes way less than 10 minutes to set up.
It also breaks down just as easily, saving storage space by preventing you from having to put away string lights, ornaments, and an artificial Christmas tree when the holidays are over. “It is actually nicer than I expected,” says one reviewer, who set theirs up solo in only five minutes. Nab it for $99.87 today and you’ll get your household Christmas-ready in no time.
This artificial tree has 200 LED lights, several red and yellow accent ribbons and decorative ornaments throughout its exterior. It comes with a stand, so setting it up only requires mounting its pole and standing its tree body up into place. The tree also has a remote control, which lets users set the lights on a timer, change their brightness, and switch up their lighting effects.
“This tree is beautiful and well worth the money 😍,” shopper Annie wrote. “I have never put up and take down my Christmas tree this quickly! Additionally, it takes minimum storage space. My cat couldn’t get enough of my regular tree, however she only chose to photo bomb under this one.”
Nab this tree while it’s under $100 today ahead of Christmas Day and before it shoots back up in price, and read on for more promising reviews.
Read on for more promising reviews of this six-foot pre-lit Christmas tree:
“Set up was very easy for one person and only took 5 minutes. It is actually nicer than I expected and is priced fairly. Decorations are about the same quality you’d find at Michael’s craft store. Had a question for the seller, who got back to me within 1 minute. Hopefully this tree will survive my cat, who actually has been pretty good with it so far. Would recommend purchasing this tree.” — V B
“Took me about 5 minutes to set up from delivery and already comes decorated. Looks great for a pop up tree and folds flat for easy storage. Lights have different settings which is great! The tree itself is pretty sturdy- I have no concerns about it rotating or falling over. Great value if you’re looking for an easy tree.” — Krystal
“So easy to put up it’s very pretty nothing was broken I like the remote to change motion of lights. So far it was a good choice for me i don’t like decorating a tree so this is awesome for me” — Char
“It’s so convenient and easy to store, and it’s beautifully decorated! I love how simple and practical it is. This winter, it feels like I’ll have a warm and cozy Christmas.” — 김성현
“Only took 5 minutes to set up, so if you don’t want to spend hours decorating, this is the perfect tree. Would have preferred more ornaments but with the lights on, it’s much prettier than I expected. Some reviews said that the pole was wobbly, but the trick is to twist the three screws at the base into the pole as tight as possible. This will prevent the pole from leaning. Happy holidays!” — Dee Tektive
“I love a tree, but have limited storage space and limited strength. This took me under 10 minutes from box to placement. When the season ends I can easily collapse it and slide the box under my bed. Does it look real? Absolutely not! It does look as pictured, though. If you want a real tree, go chop one down, drag it inside, vacuum the needles and risk death by fire. This suits me just fine.” — Paul Bliss
