Flocked Artificial Christmas Trees



Christmas is drawing near and its time to think about getting some decorations for your home, which might include one of the excellent flocked artificial christmas trees.  These snow covered fake christmas trees are ideal for adding that extra festive cheer as they look really great in your home or outdoors.

In our home, we love to put up Christmas decorations and the tree is always the main centrepiece around which we put the gifts and hang our nice little ornaments.  Our old fake tree (we never get a real tree, to help protect the environment) was looking a little worn and tattered, so we decided to get a new tree and the trees that are flocked with snow caught our eye when we were looking online.

You could get hold of a tree and use the fake snow, which comes in a spray can, but these trees are perfect.  You just take them out of the box and put them up.  If you choose one that is pre-lit, with the lights all in place already, you don't even need to worry about untangling the string of lights and putting them on.

That was one of the worst parts of doing the Christmas tree each year - getting the lights looking right and all in the proper place.  That was something we always struggled with - and never got it right, every year!

We also looked at the flocked trees as we thought that if the weather was not too bad, we could put the tree in the garden and have it as an outside display at the front of the house.  We are not one of those families that goes crazy, putting flashing bulbs on every inch of our roof, but we do like to put up something in the windows for people to see.  However, if we could put this tree in the garden, then we have another choice of how to use it each year.

We checked out the various different styles of trees online and have narrowed it down to a list of 3, which I have detailed below so you don't have to go searching for the right Christmas tree - you can just click, read the reviews and check the details and then buy.  Time is running out - so you might want to get cracking!

Flocked Alaskan artificial christmas trees

This tree is the daddy of all flocked artificial trees and stands 6.5 feet high and has a diameter of around 62 inches.  This is the tree to get if you are looking for one that will be big enough to put lots of presents underneath.

There are over 1000 flocked branch tips, so you know that this is going to be very dense and thick.  They also say that the tree features the heaviest flock of any of the trees they make.

As I said earlier, the tree comes pre-lit with 600 bulbs, which will not completely fail if one of the bulbs dies out for any reason.  There is also enough room on each of the branches to hang some small ornaments, although you might not even need to as the tree looks simply stunning on it's own.

Read the glowing reviews of this product and get your order in early for this Christmas.

Pre-Lit Flocked artificial christmas trees

If you, like me, struggle to get the lights all looking even and properly spaced out, then you need a pre-lit tree.  You just get it out of the box and plug it in and sit back and enjoy!  What can be more simple than that.

We always seem to take ages fiddling with the lights, trying to make them all look even and that there were no gaps, so buying a tree that is already set up is a good idea and will definitely cut down on the stress levels.

This artificial flocked tree caught our eye because it was tall and thin, compared to some of the other "fatter" ones that might take up too much room in our house.  It is about 6.5 feet high, so not a tiny tree by any measure, but not too large.

I always worry with Christmas lights, that they will be too "yellow" or not bright white, but the comments show that this is not the case and that they are a brilliant, clear white.

Apart from snow and Christmas trees, I also love the look of red holly berries and we use them as part of the decorations over our fireplace.  We were pleased to find this flocked tree came with some nice red berries and pine cones included.  So you won't need to worry about decorating it too much, if that is not something you are interested in.

Thats one of the benefits of a pre-lit flocked tree, that you can almost get it from storage each year and plug it in (inside or outside) and it will just work and look great straight away.  This one can also be used safely outside, which was also a tick in the box for us.

We were also pleased to see that we could choose from different sizes as having the largest tree is not always perfect and we sometimes struggle to put it up and store it somewhere afterwards.

It is very easy to put up and the 100 light bulbs are already in place, so all you need to do is stand it up and "fluff" the branches to make sure they are all sticking out in the right angles and you are done.  The white flocking gives a great snowy feel and makes your room very festive.

I hope that this list of trees has been useful.  Click through and read the details of each one before you make your choice.  We went for the last one in the list, as it offered us the most choice and it also looks amazing.

Happy holidays!
