9 Ridiculously Fun Christmas Trees for Anyone who Loves Non-Traditional Decor

Decorating for the holidays usually involves a Christmas tree (or two), and if you’re not going the real tree route, you’ve undoubtedly done a search or two for the best faux trees. While there are plenty of fool-the-eye faux options out there that mimic the real deal pretty perfectly, there are some other versions that are just flat out unconventional, and we love it.

From an American flag inspired tree (yes, really!) to a sparkly rosé colored tree, we’ve rounded up nine that will totally make your holiday decor stand out. Because how you holiday is up to you, and if you want something different, you should go for it! Plus, none of these require an annoying needle cleanup when the season’s over, which is a win for getting your home in gear for 2020.

This whimsical ombré beauty stands 6 feet tall and has lots of pink and silvery, shimmery accents. Plus, it’s pre-lit so you don’t have to worry about the hassle of untangling lights and stringing them on the tree.

This 7-foot stunner looks like an ordinary white tree, and then bam—it’s a full blown, multi-colored light show with the flip of a remote control switch! You’ll get a lot of mileage out this guy, since you can choose what color its lights twinkle and how bright they shine. It also comes pre-programmed with 10 pretty settings if you don’t want to figure out something setting on your own.

You’ve probably seen this ROYGBIV tree before, but we’d be remiss not to include it in this roundup.  It’s rainbow striped, for crying out loud! Imagine the cool, color blocked effect you’d create if you decorated each stripe in only ball ornaments that matched it.

If minimalist is your middle name, this wooden sculptural tree will be right up your alley. Its “branches” can be positioned in different directions, so you can personalize the final look to your exact liking.
