Yes, the idea of a realistic artificial Christmas tree may seem a little oxymoronic but they really do exist. However, these days the reality is that the faux offering is much more stylish and aligned with the real thing than ever before.
Many of us may find the idea of a pine artificial Christmas tree, adorned with PVC needles and pretend pine cones akin to decorating with tinsel. 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. 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.
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a glorious, joyful tree.
