14 Best Pop Up Christmas Trees 2022 | The Sun UK | The Sun

IT only begins to feel a lot like Christmas if you've got the tree up, and decorated – but though it's magical once it's done, it can feel like a pretty big task.

To save you time and effort, check out the best pop up Christmas trees this year for something that's reusable, easy to assemble and stores compactly for the next festive season.

A pop up Christmas tree is an artificial tree that's ideal for anyone who doesn't have the time to decorate a fresh tree every year.

They're also a budget-friendly option – you can save a small fortune by not buying a new tree each year.

It can look as good as the real thing without shedding any needles and clogging up the vacuum.

Pop up Christmas trees can be reused from one year to the next, if you're looking for an eco-friendly choice this festive season.

Typically pop up trees come decorated with LED lights, baubles, tinsel and more, and then they collapse down for easy storage.

Whatever your budget, Christmas aesthetic and spatial constraints, you'll easily find a pop up Christmas tree to suit your home.

Where to buy pop up Christmas trees

This year, your best bet is to buy Christmas trees online. It's delivered to your door in no time, with less hassle heading to the shops in the pre-Christmas rush.

Your first stop to buy a pop up Christmas tree, we think, should be Amazon.

Amazon has a wide range of artificial trees that are easy to assemble, and to pack away — starting from as little as £30.

It has options for mini pop-up trees, too, for putting on your dining room table during dinner, or even dotted around the hall to give it that extra festive feel.

Otherwise, if you'd rather hit the high-street, Argos has a fantastic selection too. So does supermarket favourite Asda.

What to look for in a pop up Christmas tree

It entirely depends on your taste and needs when it comes to what to look for in a pop up Christmas tree.

It's worth thinking about the boring bits first, though; like if it's sturdy enough, and if it has a cable that will reach the mains socket (if it's pre-lit).

We would recommend looking for a tree that has a sturdy central pole, with a metal or heavy duty plastic stand.

Also, it's worth looking for a tree with at least a 2/3m-long cable, if you're wanting it decorated.

Most artificial trees come decorated, but will need a fluff of its branches when it arrives. You can still opt for a 'naked' option if you've got hordes of baubles and lights at home in the loft somewhere…

How to put up a pop up Christmas tree

Pop up Christmas trees are designed to be fuss-free, with minimal effort required.

Most trees come with a plastic or metal stand in a few different parts which click into place. The central pole usually arrives in a few different pieces, too.

Fix it into the stand piece-by-piece, according to the provided instructions, and pop the artificial body of the tree on top.

Some are simple enough and come folded, so you simply open it up and click it into place.

The idea is that they're easy to assemble and pack away compactly for easy storage.

How to decorate a pop up Christmas tree

If you're lucky, your pop up artificial tree will come pre-lit and pre-decorated. meaning there's no time wasted on detangling last year's fairy lights or searching through broken baubles.

If not, don't panic. We recommend decorating it like your average Christmas tree, but perhaps with lightweight decorations.

Always start with your fairy lights and decorate from the bottom upwards, wrapping it around the central pole on each level of branch, and as close to the pole as possible. If you're using tinsel instead, do the same with this.

Then, hang your baubles and decorations as close to the end of each branch as possible. Voila, and get ready to rock around the pop up Christmas tree!
