Are prelit Christmas trees better than unlit trees?

Why prelit Christmas trees are the ultimate time-savers

It is confusing to decide where to begin with so many options available. There are many different types of trees on the market, including flocked trees, snowy trees, realistic trees, prelit trees and unlit trees. In this article, we have examined the benefits of both pre-lit and unlit artificial Christmas trees so that you can make an informed choice about the right tree for your home.

When it comes to lights, a pre-lit tree may be the best solution if you don’t like the hassle of untangling them. It only takes a few minutes to fluff the branches and plug in the pre-lit trees straight from the box. There are issues with pre-lit trees, however. The lights cannot be moved, the bulbs are often fewer than if you add your own lights, and you almost always have only one-color choice – white. Choosing an unlit tree is perfect if you enjoy decorating your tree. It is up to you which light style and color you would like to use and how you want them placed on the tree. However, this involves much more work and is time-consuming than a pre-lit tree.

The convenience, cost-efficiency, and beauty of prelit Christmas trees

Prelit trees are significantly more cost-efficient than buying trees and lights separately. Although artificial trees are designed to last for many years, pre-lit trees may not last as long, in which case you could find yourself with a very nice tree but with dreadful lights that are often irreplaceable, requiring you to use separate lights.

When you have to take the lights off the tree once Christmas is over, is there anything that makes you grumpier and sadder about January than putting the lights on the tree? In addition to avoiding the hassle of adding lights before you can decorate your tree properly, a pre-lit tree also means that you won’t need to take them down. Take it out of the box and unplug it.

However, a pre-lit tree is much heavier than an unlit tree, so you may have difficulty putting the box back in the loft/on top of your wardrobe or wherever you usually keep it.
