Decorating for the holiday shouldn’t be a stressful event, which is why many families prefer slim pre-lit Christmas trees to the more traditional, real options. There are many advantages in buying an artificial evergreen over a real one, ranging from the strength of the branches to the economic impact of them. 
And the great news is that there are plenty of styles to choose from, and none of the holiday cheer is lost just because you no longer have to deal with sweeping up pine needles all season.
What are some of the advantages in purchasing slim pre-lit Christmas trees?
One of the biggest advantages in buying them is the fact they come fashioned with lights out of the box. While many families enjoy the act of decorating these during the holiday season, there are plenty of others who simply don’t have the time. Luckily, these products have lights that are strung all throughout the branches, illuminating it nice and evenly, eliminating the need for endless struggles with tangled balls of lights.
These products are also much more cost-effective than going out and purchasing a new live tree each and every year. 
They can easily fold up into a bag and be stored until the next holiday season as well. This ease of use is perfect for those that live in an apartment complex, where bringing home a huge Douglas Fir may be a bit impractical. Other than apartments, businesses are also great places for artificial trees since upkeep of the real counterpart may not be a viable option.
What types of slim pre-lit Christmas trees are there?
Not only do these products come out-of-the-box ready to assemble, they’re also available in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. Rather than measuring from the floor to the ceiling and attempting to squeeze a giant tree into the living room, an artificial one can be purchased at the exact size needed. These range from a miniature two foot fir to a 40 foot giant. This gives owners the flexibility of putting them in a number of different places, such as a kid’s room or as a centerpiece in a company lobby.
Additionally, slim pre-lit Christmas trees come in many different needle and light colors. There are some with a frosted look, known as flocked, where the branches appear to be covered in snow. Others are designed to look like their real counterpart, complete with bushy needles. The best part is that they come adorned with lights, of which there are several varieties to choose from. There are those that come with the standard spread of white lights, while others have a multi-colored look.
Each year, more and more families are enjoying the advantages of going artificial for the holiday season. This time of the year shouldn’t be about the stress of stringing lights through needle-ridden branches or having to clean up pine needles each morning.
