The decision to buy a full or pre-lit artificial Christmas tree is one of the most important choices you’ll make before the holidays.

It all comes down to your personal preference and budget. If you’re looking for an affordable option that looks good but won’t break the bank, a pre-lit tree may be a good fit for your needs. If you want something more extravagant that will add character to your home, then a full artificial tree may be for you.

Here’s what you need to know about these two types of trees so that you can make an informed decision when it comes time to shop:

Full Artificial Christmas Trees

Full artificial Christmas trees are exactly what they sound like: they’re made up of many individual plastic branches that are attached to a trunk at the bottom and topped with a starburst (or angel) at the top. These trees typically range between 6′ and 8′ tall and usually have between 60 to 80 branches per tree (some have even more). A full tree will not look realistic unless it’s decorated with lights, ornaments, garlands, etc., so if you want your fake tree to look like real wood, expect to invest some time in decorating it yourself or hiring someone else to do it for you.

Full artificial trees are the most common type of tree that you’ll find on the market. The benefit of a full tree is that it will look like a real Christmas tree as soon as you take it out of the box, with no need for trimming or fluffing up. It also has branches all the way down to the base and looks very realistic. However, they can often be heavy and difficult to move around once set up.

Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Trees

The pre-lit artificial Christmas tree is also a great option for those who want something that looks like the real thing without having to deal with the hassle of stringing lights on it. If you’re looking for an artificial tree that will last you years, then you should definitely consider buying one with lights already in place. These trees are less expensive than their unlit counterparts and they make things much easier when it comes to decorating your home during the holidays.

What’s more!

The main difference between full and pre-lit artificial Christmas trees is the amount of work required to set them up. Full trees are sold without lights, so you’ll need to buy a separate strand of lights to decorate your tree. Pre-lit artificial Christmas trees come with a built-in lighting system that makes it easy to get your tree up and running in no time.

The best way to determine if an artificial Christmas tree will work for you is by doing a little research first. That way, when it comes time to make your purchase, you’ll know exactly what kind of tree will work best in your house and how much money you should spend on it without having to waste time on something that won’t work at all!
