Mini Majestic Fir Tree with Clear Lights
Keep it traditional, even in the smallest of spaces, with this pre-lit tabletop tree. The gold cloth-bag base is the perfect elegant touch.
One reviewer said: “This tree is perfect and looks just like the picture. I did, however, add a 50 count strand of lights because I like a lot of lights on my trees. I have it on the window ledge in my apartment and it is exactly what I was looking for!”
Adding simple clear lights can help make the tree even more cozy and festive. Here is a basic guide of how to put lights on a Christmas tree.
Wall-Mounted Christmas Tree
This enchanting tree can be displayed outdoors, but we think it’s an attractive option for anyone with limited space for a Christmas tree. One clever feature of this wall-mounted tree is the energy-efficient timer. Think of the possibilities! Kids, you have to go to bed when the tree lights go out or lights-out means the party is over! This is sure to add a glow to any home. Speaking of glow, check out these stunning Christmas light displays you have to see.
Pre-Lit Artificial Half Christmas Tree
This small Christmas tree idea is great for saving space while still having the feel of a full-size tree. This half-tree design features lifelike branches and boughs, featuring 552 branch tips and 150 pre-lit white LED lights. If you are unsure of whether to go with a real vs fake Christmas tree, consider the pros and cons of each first.
“I loved everything about this tree,” says an Amazon reviewer. “I bought the 7 foot and you would never be able to tell it is a half of a tree, it looks so full and I actually tell folks it is a half of a tree [because] they cannot tell. I have it anchored to [the] wall with a little screw and wire in one spot near the middle for additional support. This is a great tree I love it, and my dad does as well. Perfect for a smaller room or space.”

Pink Ceramic Christmas Tree
Lighted ceramic Christmas trees are back in a big way! Everyone’s grandma had one of these and now they’re showing up again as on-trend Christmas decor. Plus, since pink trees are also having a moment, this is the year to get one. This mini tree is 11-in. tall and has a 5-ft. power cord.
Pine Cone Christmas Tree
This classic, small Christmas tree features pine cones and a burlap base. Despite its small size, the tree looks very realistic. One happy reviewer wrote:
“This little tree is absolutely perfect for our downsized Christmas display this year. The base is sturdy and heavy; the burlap covering is traditional and innocuous. The tree itself was fun to ‘fluff out.'”

6 Foot White Iridescent Tinsel Tree
One of the best hacks for working with a small space is going up, not out! So while you can’t go for a fat tree, perhaps you can go for a tall one like this gorgeous tree. It’s slim, sleek and will look perfect tucked in a corner in your living room. The tinsel look is a fun way to shake things up. We’re also intrigued by these nontraditional colored Christmas trees.
