If you’re already stressing over finding the perfect holiday tree, you’ve got plenty of options. You can schlep your family to the nearest tree farm, spend an hour or so hunting for the “perfect” evergreen, haul it home, set it up, and then spend 30 minutes cleaning up all the pine needles that have been lovingly scattered all over your place—all before starting the whole decorating process even begins. Of course, regular watering and needle sweeping is required too. Or, you can order an artificial Christmas tree, set it up, and get on with your holiday season—and your life.

Of course, whichever route you choose to go this holiday season is entirely up to you, but it’s given the convenience (and zero allergy potential) posed by artificial Christmas trees, it’s understandable why a growing number of people are choosing to skip the annual trip to the farm and get a fake alternative that’ll last forever instead.

Plus, allergy-proof artificial Christmas trees often look way more realistic than the real ones—or even better— and investing in one can actually end up saving you money in the long run. Alas, it’s easy to see why fake Christmas trees have amassed such a devoted fan base in recent years. Interested in making the switch to a faux fir? Check out these festive options below.

Best Choice Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree

Sure, a flocked tree is never going to ~actually~ look like it could be real when it’s placed indoors, but that’s not the point. After all, you’re bringing the cheery look of a snow-covered tree inside. This flocked faux tree is full, featuring 1,346 “snow”-dusted branch tips. It’s easy to assemble: Just connect the base to the other sections, fluff, and decorate.
