About Artificial Christmas Trees at Christmas World

At Christmas World, we've been helping Australian families create magical holiday memories since 1999. Starting from our first store in NSW, we've grown to become Australia's largest dedicated Christmas store because we are genuinely obsessed with all things Christmas!

That's why we don't just sell any artificial tree. Every single model in our collection of over 116 trees is hand-selected by our team for realism, structural stability, and longevity. Gone are the days of sparse, scratchy plastic trees that drop needles everywhere and collapse under heavy baubles!

Whether you want a budget-friendly classic or a luxury showstopper, we treat your home like our own.

How to Choose the Right Artificial Christmas Tree

Buying an artificial Christmas tree is an investment in years of holiday joy. To help you narrow down over 116 models, here are the five crucial things you should consider before making your choice:

1. Tip Material: PE vs PVC

Understanding needle materials is the secret to finding your perfect tree. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) uses classic flat cut strips to create a dense, bushy interior. PE (polyethylene) uses 3D injection moulding copied directly from real evergreen branches for unmatched lifelike texture. Many of our best-selling luxury trees feature a hybrid construction — PE tips on the outer edges where everyone looks, and PVC on the inside for deep, lush volume without extra weight.

2. Hinged vs Hooked Branches

How much time do you want to spend setting up on December 1st? Hinged trees come with branches pre-attached to the central pole on sturdy metal pivots — you simply unbox, drop the sections together, and let gravity fold the branches down in seconds. Hooked trees require you to insert every branch hook into colour-coded slots manually. While hooked trees are great budget options, hinged trees save you heaps of time and hassle.

3. Unlit or Pre-Lit?

Love the ritual of stringing your own lights? An unlit tree gives you total freedom to switch up your lighting theme every year. But if you want to skip the annual tangle dance, a pre-lit tree is a total game-changer! Check out our pre-lit LED Christmas trees for brilliant, energy-efficient illumination, or our micro-bright fibre optic Christmas trees for instant plug-and-play colour shows.

4. Colour and Finish

Traditional forest green is a timeless favourite that works with any ornament style, but why not branch out? Our snowy and flocked trees feature realistic snow dusting that brings a magical winter alpine feel straight into hot Aussie summer afternoons. We also carry vibrant white, champagne gold, and deep emerald finishes to match your personal interior decor.

5. Slim vs Full

Always consider your room's floor footprint! Full-profile trees have a wide, traditional conical base (often 120cm to 150cm wide for a 7ft tree) that makes a grand statement in spacious living rooms. If you're decorating a tighter corner, townhome, or apartment, a slim or pencil tree offers full height and lush density with half the diameter footprint!

Comparing Artificial Christmas Tree Types

Still weighed down by choices? Here is a quick side-by-side comparison matrix of the main tree styles to help you pick the right match for your home, schedule, and budget:

Quick Tips for Artificial Christmas Trees

• Always measure your ceiling height and subtract 20–30cm to allow plenty of room for your tree stand and star or angel topper.
• Don't skip the "fluffing"! Take 15 to 20 minutes to bend and spread every individual tip out from the trunk to eliminate gaps and maximize lushness.
• Keep your tree sturdy and safe from curious pets or toddlers by using a solid metal base from our tree stands collection.
• For unlit trees, plan on about 100 LED lights per 30cm (1 foot) of tree height for brilliant, even coverage across every layer.
• If choosing a pre-lit model, plug the light sections in as you stack them during assembly so you can spot any unlit branches immediately.
• Protect your tree year-round by wrapping sections in a heavy-duty canvas bag from our tree storage range instead of cramming it back into a flimsy cardboard box.

Setting Up Your Artificial Christmas Tree

1. Unboxing and Assembly

1. Clear a wide workspace near your designated spot and assemble the metal stand on a flat surface.
2. Insert the bottom pole section into the base stand and tighten the eye-bolts securely so it won't wobble.
3. Connect the middle and top sections sequentially, ensuring the internal pole connectors lock firmly in place.
4. If setting up a pre-lit tree, connect the internal light plugs between each section as you build upward.

2. Shaping and Fluffing

1. Starting with the lowest layer of branches, pull each branch outward away from the central trunk.
2. Separate individual branch tips, angling inner tips upward and side tips outward to fill empty interior voids.
3. Work layer by layer around the tree in a circle, moving upward toward the crown.
4. Step back 2 to 3 metres periodically to inspect for sparse spots and tweak branch positioning as needed.

3. Adding Lights (for unlit trees)

1. Plug in your light strand before stringing so you can instantly judge brightness and distribution.
2. Start from the base of the trunk and weave lights deep along the branches before bringing the strand back toward the tips.
3. Wrap lights around main branch stems to hide excess wiring and keep cables neatly secured.
4. Work in a spiral pattern around the tree until you reach the crown, leaving enough slack for your tree topper.

4. Adding Decorations

1. Place your tree topper first to avoid accidentally knocking down delicate ornaments later on!
2. Hang larger baubles deeper inside the branches to create visual depth and hide interior hardware.
3. Distribute medium and specialty statement ornaments evenly across outer tips at eye level.
4. Drape garlands, ribbons, or tinsel gently in sweeping curves, finishing with a festive tree skirt around the base.

Caring for and Storing Your Artificial Christmas Tree

Cleaning

• Give your tree a gentle dusting before decorating using a soft microfiber cloth or a feather duster.
• For deeper cleaning, use a handheld vacuum on its lowest suction setting with a soft brush attachment.
• Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or harsh chemicals that could degrade PE needle coatings or rust steel frame hinges.
• For flocked trees, avoid aggressive wiping; simply blow off loose dust with a hair dryer on a cool setting.

Storage

• Carefully remove all ornaments, garlands, and loose wiring before attempting to disassemble tree sections.
• Gently fold branch hinges back toward the central pole, securing them loosely with soft fabric ties or ribbon.
• Place tree sections inside a durable, moisture-resistant tree storage bag rather than the original cardboard box.
• Store flat in a cool, dry place out of direct Australian sunlight to prevent needle discoloration and material degradation.

Artificial Christmas Tree Safety Tips

Your family's safety is always our top priority. Keep your holiday home safe and sound with these simple safety precautions:

• Position your tree at least 1 metre away from open flames, space heaters, candles, and direct Aussie summer sun.
• Always inspect power cords, plugs, and pre-lit connections for frayed wires or damage before turning on the lights.
• Plug tree lights directly into a surge-protected power board, and never daisy-chain multiple extension cords together.
• Turn off all tree lights and unplug pre-lit displays when leaving the house or going to bed for the night.
• Keep small, breakable ornaments and low-hanging wires out of reach of curious toddlers and pets.
• Ensure your tree stand screws are firmly tightened into place on a sturdy, level surface using one of our heavy-duty tree stands.

Complete the Look

• Tree Toppers — crown your tree with a glowing star, elegant angel, or dramatic illuminated topper.
• Christmas Bows — add texture, colour, and classic festive flair with wired velvet and burlap bows.
• Baubles & Ornaments — explore shatterproof bauble packs, glass collectibles, and themed ornament sets.
• Tinsel & Garlands — add extra sparkle and volume with shimmering tinsel strands and leafy garlands.
• Christmas Stockings — complement your decorated tree with personalized stockings hung along the mantel or wall.
• Christmas Lights — illuminate unlit trees with solar, battery, or mains-powered fairy and cluster lights.

Frequently Asked Questions — Artificial Christmas Trees

How long do artificial Christmas trees last?

A high-quality artificial Christmas tree will easily last between 5 and 12+ years depending on materials and storage. Premium PE-tip trees tend to last even longer than standard PVC because injection-moulded branches retain their realistic shape season after season without flattening.

Are artificial Christmas trees safe for Australian homes?

Absolutely. All artificial Christmas trees at Christmas World are crafted from high-grade flame-retardant materials that comply with Australian safety standards. For pre-lit models, electrical connections are fully tested for heat safety.

How do I make my artificial Christmas tree look fuller?

The real secret is taking 15 to 20 minutes to thoroughly "fluff" your tree during assembly. Separate every small tip from the main branch stem, angling inner tips upward and side tips outward to fill internal gaps.

What's the difference between PE and PVC tips?

PVC tips are made from thin cut foil strips that provide dense internal volume at an affordable price. PE tips are 3D-moulded from real evergreen branches for ultra-lifelike texture and appearance. Many of our best trees use a mix of both!

Do I need to assemble my artificial Christmas tree?

Most modern trees feature pre-attached hinged branches that drop open automatically in sections, requiring just 10 to 20 minutes of quick setup. Older or budget models may use hook-in branches that take slightly longer.

Can I use my own lights on an unlit artificial tree?

Yes! Unlit trees give you complete creative freedom. We recommend energy-efficient LED strings — roughly 400 to 600 bulbs for a standard 1.8m (6ft) tree, or up to 800 bulbs for a 2.1m (7ft) tree.

How do I store my artificial tree after Christmas?

Gently press the branch tips back toward the centre pole, disassemble into sections, and store inside a durable, moisture-resistant tree storage bag in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

What size artificial Christmas tree should I buy?

Measure your ceiling height and subtract at least 20cm to 30cm to allow for your tree stand and tree topper. For standard 2.4m to 2.7m Aussie living room ceilings, a 1.8m (6ft) or 2.1m (7ft) tree is usually ideal.
