The Christmas tree is always a focal point in any home during the holidays. Decorating one can also be a good family activity. But let’s face it, sometimes we don’t have the time nor space to put up a tree in our own space. Malls might even run out of the traditional ones during the holiday rush.
Before you panic, we found alternative Christmas trees that you can decorate as well. It’s not as big and you can place some of them on top of tables and foyers. You can even use them in the next few years. Plus, no trimming required.
Reminiscent of icy leaf-less branches, West Elm’s LED Light-Up Downswept Tree (P4,932) is made of plastic and wire with faux snow. You can add baubles on the branches and place it indoors or outdoors. The ends of the branches also light up when you plug it.

For a sturdy tree, opt for Pottery Barn’s Champagne Glitter Tree (P1,470 and P1,968) which is made of plastic and placed in a concrete and resin burlap cover. You don’t have to plug this as its glittery exterior can reflect light just fine.
