Best Christmas Trees, Wreaths, and Garlands

Looking for the best holiday greenery? Check out these realistic Christmas trees, wreaths, and garlands that are perfect for classic holiday decorating!

Artificial Christmas greenery is definitely my go-to holiday decor! Faux greenery does require storage, but it is so much less messy and less expensive (in the long run) than fresh greenery. Faux Christmas greenery has come a long way in the last few years, too, and I’m loving it.

Although my home is not generally decorated until mid-late November, these items often sell out by the end of October, so I wanted to share my favorite realistic Christmas greenery while they’re still in stock. I’ve gathered beautiful artificial Christmas trees, garland with and without pinecones, stems and branches for centerpieces, Christmas wreaths and evergreen sprays, and much more.

  1. It is amazing how far faux greenery has come from years ago. Some of it is so real that you can’t tell it is fake. Great post! xo Diana
