When it comes to celebrations, is there anything more magical than turning on the Christmas fairy lights… and being reminded how your twinkling tree is a tower of happiness?

And with so many artfully decorated, realistic artificial trees – from firs to young pines – you’d be hard pushed not to know they’re not freshly cut.

Furthermore, if you prefer flocked tips over green, or brilliant white spruce with a light dusting of faux snow, when it comes to fake Christmas trees, the realms of possibility are endless.

To help fire your imagination, we’ve shortlisted some hot favourites adorned with dreamy decos, to trigger those feel-good festive moments…
