Looking for a Christmas Tree? Check Out These Black Friday Deals

A fresh-cut real Christmas tree for the holidays is lovely, but it can also come with headaches. If the trunk isn't big enough, it could fall over. You’ll be cleaning up pine needles for weeks after you take the tree down. Also, a real tree can be a fire hazard if you aren’t diligent with watering it daily.

So, if you’ve decided to skip the hassle of having a real tree and want to get a fake fir, now is a good time to buy one. Many retailers are offering Black Friday deals on artificial Christmas trees. Whether you’re looking for a tree that’s plain, pre-lit, flocked, full, thin, short, tall, or tabletop size, retailers like Walmart, Michaels, Wayfair, Target, and Amazon have many options for you to choose from. With many of these deals, you don’t have to wait until Black Friday to score big on holiday trees to decorate your home.

Here are some of the early Black Friday sales on Christmas trees being offered right now:

Online retail giant Amazon is discounting trees from Puleo International and The National Tree Company by anywhere from 48 percent to 54 percent off.

At Walmart, you can save up to 71 percent on select artificial, pre-lit, non-lit, and pencil Christmas trees in various sizes. You can save up to $250 on a selection of pre-lit trees.
