Lit Trees

Holiday trees are perhaps the signature symbol of Christmas. Nothing beats a lush, green indoor or outdoor Christmas tree when it comes to festive decorations, especially when they're all decorated with ornaments and adorned with Christmas tree lights.Read more

Everyone preps their home with these, whether it's artificial or a real Xmas tree. Lit and traditional Christmas trees are in almost every local shop nearby so if you're after Target pre lit Christmas trees or Kmart pre lit Christmas trees, or a real fragrant pine tree, you're sure to find one without too much hassle. 

What is the difference between a traditional Christmas tree and a pre lit Xmas tree, anyway? Well, traditional ones are your classic old-school holiday trees that are cut and sold during the season. These are bare, so you really have to do everything from scratch―putting on the lights, hanging the decorations, and testing everything.

On the other hand, a pre-lit or lighted Christmas tree is an artificial Christmas tree that already comes with fixed lights. The only thing left for you to do is pick your size and decorate the tree. They're pretty popular too and just like real holiday trees, they also come in different forms and sizes. Whether you want a 7 ft Christmas tree, an 8 ft Christmas tree, or something smaller, you're sure to find an artificial one of that size.

Is It Better To Buy a Pre Lit Christmas Tree?

Both real and artificial pre lit Christmas trees have their own perks. If you're big on holiday decorations and want the full experience of putting up your tree, go for an authentic Xmas tree. This will give you that lush, green look and a hint of fragrance that's sure to get you excited about the upcoming festivities. 

The main advantage of pre lit Christmas trees is convenience and lifespan. If you have a busy household, this is your best pick since almost half of the work is done already. You just need to prepare the area you're going to put it in, size it properly, pick your tree and there you have it. This will give you limited decorating options though since the lights are pre-installed. 

Artificial lit Christmas trees also last for 10 to 20 years and require less maintenance, especially when properly stored. You get big savings for several years plus a nice big tree in your home minus the hassle of starting your decorations from scratch every time the holidays roll in. 

As for the appearance, don't worry—while these have fixed lights, they come in different styles perfect for every Christmas decoration theme you can imagine. Here are some of the most popular types of pre lit Christmas trees:

Standard Artificial Tree

This one is your regular full or medium green artificial Xmas tree. If you want to go for that timeless look with gold or multicolour lights, Christmas balls, and presents at the bottom, you will never go wrong with a pre lit evergreen tree. 

Flocked or Pre Lit Snowy Christmas Tree

Planning on a winter wonderland theme for the holidays? Lit flocked Christmas trees are your best option. These give an illusion of fallen snow on the needles of your tree, perfect for those who love a snowy look without having to actually deal with the cold!

Slim Lit Christmas Tree

Don't miss the fun of putting up a Christmas tree because of limited space. Slim Christmas trees are your best friends here and the good news is, they come in different colours and styles too so your choices won't be limited!

White Pre Lit Christmas Tree

A white pre lit Christmas tree brings something unique to any indoor or outdoor space. They're ideal if you're going for a clean look and would look great with warm white fairy lights and equally intricate ornaments hanging on them.

What Are the Best Types of Christmas Tree Lights?

There is no question here—LED Christmas lights are the most recommended twinkles for any Christmas tree—whether real or artificial. The only advantage of traditional incandescent bulbs over LED is their lower upfront cost and accessibility. Some retailers have a limited supply of LED lights, but with their continuous rise in popularity, they're starting to become as readily available as regular Xmas lights as well. 

These two don't differ much in terms of appearance too. Both exhibit a clear, warm glow that will look stunning on holiday trees, outdoor spaces, and even indoors. When it comes to overall quality, LED definitely has several pros, especially in efficiency. 

Using LED Xmas lights can help save up to 75% of energy, perfect if you're planning to put up a large ensemble of lighted Christmas decorations. They also last up to 25% longer and are safe to use especially on Christmas trees. Unlike incandescent bulbs, these stay cool to touch and are less likely to overheat, so you get to enjoy your lights without worrying about fire hazards.
