Whether you’ve been putting off putting up your holiday decorations or you’ve been playing Mariah Carey’s Christmas album since November 1, for those who celebrate Christmas, it’s time to start thinking about a tree. While real trees are non-negotiable for some people, there are plenty of perks in investing in a fake tree — especially if you have kids or pets.

Speaking as someone who grew up with a faux tree, they require less maintenance, are much safer, and nowadays they look more authentic than ever. And if you live in a small space, there are tons of miniature options out there that still pack plenty of holiday spirit.

We rounded up some of our favorite small artificial Christmas trees below from Amazon, Michaels, QVC, and more, starting at just $27. They’re perfect for even the tiniest of spaces and are getting us in a festive mood (yes, I’m writing this while listening to the Nutcracker soundtrack). So, start shopping now, finds are up to 72% off!

This unconventional, pop-up spiral tree is one that Senior Shopping Editor Britt’s mom puts up every year (it was also voted Best Accent Tree by our team). It’s incredibly easy to assemble because it’s “essentially one big spiral that expands like a spring,” Britt says. This option is silver, but you can also get it in white with white lights. Britt notes it wouldn't be a main tree but looks great as an additional, festive decoration. If you want hassle-free assembly or a simple extra decoration, this is the solution.
