Christmas trees play an important role for many families during the festive holiday, we sit and open our presents around them, and putting up and decorating them is often a family activity as well as a treasured tradition. For many, Christmas hasn’t begun until you have your tree up so it makes sense we want a tree that we can be proud of and show off to the world, one that will last for many years and produce lots of magical memories. If you’re hunting for a new tree this holiday season then you have come to the right place, in this guide, we show you how to find the best artificial Christmas tree for you.
Christmas Tree Size Guide
We R Christmas stocks a variety of trees of all different shapes, sizes and colours. The size of the perfect Christmas tree for you will ultimately be dependent on the size of your home and the space available.
Trees this size are miniature and perfect for small spaces, bedrooms or on tabletops.
Designed for very small rooms or living areas.
These are a great choice for homes with low ceilings.
Perfect for standard-size rooms with adequate ceiling heights.
Designed for very large rooms with high ceilings.
Artificial Christmas Tree Shapes
We R Christmas provides a range of trees with 3 shapes, full, slim and pencil. In general, the tree's shape will give you an indication of how much space it is likely to take up. A full tree will be wide and tall and is most suited to a large spacious indoor or living space, whereas a slim tree is designed for smaller homes where space may be limited. A pencil tree is perfect for tight spaces or those who wish to do a line of slim trees as a background or walkway.
Full Bodied
The most common and most impressive shape, this is the classic Christmas tree.
Slim
Slim-bodied trees are suited for smaller homes, and rooms that lack a lot of space.
Pencil
Pencil, our slimmest trees are designed for places with an extreme lack of space.

White
White Christmas trees are a fairly modern take, great for polar themes, they go well with red, blue and silver decorations.

Fir
Fir trees have a unique look with a distinctive tip and shape to the branches, firs have individually sprouted needles.
Spruce
Spruce trees are very dense and bushy with a much more cluttered display of needles.

Pine trees are a very densely packed tree and have a very full look to them.
Pre-lit
Pre-lit trees come pre-dressed with festive lights ranging from white to multicolour, which is very convenient for those who do not wish to do much decorating.

What Else Should I Consider When Buying a Christmas Tree?
There are a few things to consider when buying a Christmas tree, besides what is already listed above.
If your tree is pre-lit or will be decorated with lights it's important to keep in mind you will need access to an electrical plug socket.
Price
Artificial trees can cost a lot more than real trees because they tend to last for many years, but We R Christmas stocks a wide range of artificial Christmas trees to suit all budgets, from the premium range to budget Christmas trees we don’t compromise on quality.
Christmas Lights
Some people prefer not to bother with Christmas lights and choose to buy a pre-lit Christmas tree to save time or hassle on decorating, but for those who prefer to buy the lights separately what exactly are the options available? I have listed some of the varieties we stock below:
Connectable Lights
These lights are great for large trees as you can string multiple sets of lights together to increase the length.
Fairy/String Lights
Multi-coloured, and white lights come in a variety of styles from small LED bulbs to larger circular bulbs on the festoon link lighting.
Cluster Lights
Cluster lights are a variant of fairy lights with an increase in LED bulbs per metre, producing a more bright and vibrant look.
Baubles
Baubles are essential part of the Christmas tree decorating experience, and We R Christmas stocks all sorts of unique and wonderful baubles. Our artificial xmas trees are highly quality and feature strong branches which are perfect for hanging ornaments of all sizes.
Toppers
Toppers are the ornament that takes pride of place at the top of the tree, most commonly they are stars or angels.
Skirts & Collars
Skirts and collars are used to cover the trunk of the tree, they help to hide any unsightly wires and are perfect to lay the presents around.
Stands
Without a stand your tree can not be erected, so this is an essential bit of kit.
