Cheap Artificial Christmas Trees: Where to Find Real Deals
See where $25 unlit trees and $50 pre-lit trees are listed and what size and light details to check first.
Cheap artificial Christmas trees — reusable plastic trees with a stand — start around $25 for full-size unlit models. Walmart, Target and The Home Depot list the current low-price options, including $10 tabletop trees and pre-lit trees near $50. Price depends on height, lights and branch fullness.
A low headline price often means a smaller or unlit tree.

What does cheap mean over several seasons?
A cheap tree matters more across years than on one receipt. Real trees averaged $80-$100 in 2024, versus about $100 for artificial, according to the Akron Beacon Journal in its cost comparison. You pay once for plastic branches and a stand.
You reuse the same tree each December instead of buying a fresh one.
Where do low-price full-size trees start?
Walmart lists a 6-foot Holiday Time Wesley Pine unlit tree with stand for $24.97 in its Holiday Time listing. That size fits many living rooms without extra lights included. Target lists Wondershop budget trees, including a 3-foot Alberta Spruce for $25.00 and 24-inch tabletop minis for $10.00, in its cheap-tree results.
Small trees suit apartments, desks and second rooms. Check height before you expect a full living-room tree.
When does a pre-lit tree save money?
The Home Depot lists the 6.5-foot Home Accents Holiday Festive Pine LED pre-lit tree, model 26HD30002, for $49.98 in its Festive Pine page. Pre-lit means lights are already attached to the branches. Built-in lights remove a separate purchase and setup step.
Unlit trees cost less upfront but need strings you own or buy. Choose pre-lit when you lack spare lights.
What should you check before you pay?
Headline prices assume a set size, light count and seller. The same photo can hide different heights and shipping terms. Tip count describes branch ends and affects how full the tree looks.
Measure your space and confirm seller, shipping cost and return window before you pay.
- Confirm height, width and tip count for fullness
- Confirm whether lights are included or unlit
- Confirm seller name, shipping cost and delivery time
- Confirm stand is included and return terms allow repacking
