According to Mac Harman, founder and CEO of Balsam Hill the best Christmas tree variety ultimately comes down to preference and taste. It's not an exact science. The Nordmann Fir is perhaps the tree the UK is most familiar with. It’s the most popular Christmas tree in Western Europe, with what you might think of as the ‘traditional’ shape. The Nordmann Fir is a great option if you're looking for a timeless classic.'

Most artificial trees are made of plastic, either PVC or polyethylene (PE). The latter is the more recent innovation and involves the use of moulds to create a more realistic look. Consequently, they also tend to be more expensive. Branch design We’ve tested seven of the trees below at the Good Housekeeping Institute (just look for the GHI Approved logo on the pictures). But in case they aren’t quite right (they’re all natural-looking, for a start), then our shopping editors have selected their favourite fake Christmas trees in a range of colours, styles and price points, so you can find the right one to bring your festive vision to life. Before anything else: measure your space. You may want a large tree that makes a big impact, but a squashed tree will look much worse than a well sized one. The average size tree is 7 feet, as this fits into the average living room. However, you can find trees anywhere between 4 and 12 feet tall. Our testers assemble each tree, timing how long it takes to put every branch into place and fluff them too. They award points for its realism, assessing the coverage provided and whether you can see the internal mechanisms or if it’s bushy enough to hide them.

How we tested the best artificial Christmas trees

This is the tree that won the coveted spot in my sitting room last Christmas, even convincing my husband - arch sceptic of artificial trees - that it was better than real. In my mind, Balsam Hill do the best luxury artificial trees (the brand was created after the founder had a family member with a tree allergy); the branches are designed based on clippings from real Nordmann Firs, with needles that are a dark waxy green on top, and gently curved to reveal a silvery underside–just like the real thing. The magic is in the PE moulded tips, and on this 7ft model there are 2,026 of them. Between the branches you can glimpse the trunk, which unlike some other models, has been designed to look like a real tree trunk to add to the naturalistic look.

Below, we've also included the number of tips (the branch ends you can hang decorations off) where possible, as this helps give an idea of the finished look and just how many baubles you can hang. Lighting Artificial Christmas trees don’t come much more high-end than Balsam Hill, and we weren’t disappointed. This bushy, pre-lit tree looks realistic and was up in a jiffy, thanks to clear online videos explainers. Our testers liked the fact it has rubber feet, so it won’t scratch hard flooring, but it is heavy to move around should you need to reposition it, so something to bear in mind. The experts at Balsam Hill trees have been paving the way for excellent, high quality faux trees since 2006 in the US and 2011 in the UK. Their CEO, Mac Harman, has the following advice. To find the best artificial Christmas trees, our experts consider its setup, overall appearance, sturdiness and what it’s like to store away. Different tree varieties offer different silhouettes. Some trees will offer denser foliage, or a fuller shape than others. You'll also need to consider the footprint of the tree variety and think about the space you have available. The European Fir, for example, is much wider at the bottom and tapers towards the top of the tree.'

Artificial trees tend to be non-recyclable and although you can reuse them each year, to avoid buying more plastic, real trees are generally the greener option.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a glorious, joyful tree. After all, isn't one of the core moments of the festive season lugging an enormous Scott's Pine or Norway Spruce through the snowy doorway only to find out it's several inches too tall for your living room? Or getting yourself frustrated because you can't find the one broken bulb that's stopping your LED lights from working? The thing is, it doesn't have to be quite like that. Whilst the smell of a real tree simply cannot be replicated, (though The White Company are giving it their best shot with their scented candles) there is something to be said for the no mess, no fuss option that an artificial tree brings.
