The 10 Best Artificial Christmas Trees in Australia

An artificial Christmas tree is a reusable frame of hinged or hooked branches carrying moulded PVC or PE tips, assembled each December and packed away in January. The best artificial Christmas trees in Australia are separated by two numbers on the box: tip count, which decides how full the tree looks, and whether it arrives pre-lit with LEDs already wired through the branches.

Four shapes cover the market here. Full profile trees use the traditional wide triangular spread and need floor space to match. Slim and pencil trees keep the height but pull the branches in for narrow rooms. Corner and half trees are flat on one side to sit against a wall junction. Tabletop and potted trees stand under 1.5 metres for units, desks and entryways.

Tip count is the specification that predicts appearance, and it varies enormously at the same height. Two 2.1 metre trees here carry 430 tips and 1584 tips respectively, and the difference between them on a lounge room floor is dramatic. A pre-lit tree removes the annual job of threading lights, at the cost of a dead bulb string being harder to replace.

This guide compares ten artificial trees sold in Australia, from a 45cm tabletop model to a 2.7 metre pre-lit tree with 2590 tips, and lists height, tip count and lighting for each. Anyone hosting over the holidays might also want our guide to ice maker machines in Australia, which solves the other summer entertaining problem.

1. Jingle Jollys 2.7m LED Christmas Tree – Best Tallest Option

Two point seven metres makes this the tallest tree in the guide, carrying 2590 tips and warm white LED bulbs wired through the branches. A powder-coated metal stand takes the weight. It arrives pre-lit rather than needing lights threaded.

Height on this scale changes a room, and 2.7 metres suits the double-height entry or the open living space where a 2.1 metre tree looks lost. Warm white rather than cool white LEDs give the softer glow most Australian living rooms suit. The powder-coated stand matters because a tree this tall is top-heavy once decorated.

Ceiling height is the obvious constraint, and standard Australian ceilings sit around 2.4 metres, so this needs a raked or extended ceiling to work at all. Measure before ordering rather than after. Storage between seasons also takes a genuinely large box.

Pros

• 2.7 metres suits high or raked ceilings
• 2590 tips give a dense profile
• Pre-lit with warm white LEDs
• Powder-coated metal stand for stability

Cons

• Too tall for a standard 2.4 metre ceiling
• Needs substantial storage space

Key specs: 2.7 metre height; 2590 tips; pre-lit warm white LED bulbs; powder-coated metal stand.

2. Jingle Jollys 2.4m Christmas Tree with 1488 LEDs – Best Large Pre-Lit

Fourteen hundred and eighty-eight LEDs run through this 2.4 metre tree, threaded across generous PVC tips. The branches hinge down for storage. Assembly is a matter of unfolding rather than slotting individual limbs.

That LED count is high for the height, which means the lighting reads as even rather than patchy once the tree is decorated. Two point four metres is the tallest tree that fits comfortably under a standard Australian ceiling with a topper still on. Hinged branches cut setup time considerably against a hook-in design.

A pre-lit tree ties the lighting to the tree permanently, so a failed section cannot simply be replaced with a new string. For most households that risk is worth avoiding the annual job of threading lights. It is the largest tree here that suits an ordinary room.

Pros

• 1488 LEDs give even, dense lighting
• 2.4 metres fits under a standard ceiling with a topper
• Hinged branches speed up assembly
• Generous PVC tips

Cons

• Failed light sections cannot be replaced separately
• Large storage footprint

Key specs: 2.4 metre height; 1488 LEDs; PVC tips; hinged branch construction.

3. Jingle Jollys 2.1m Christmas Tree with 2800 LED Lights – Best Light Show

Two thousand eight hundred LEDs is by a distance the highest count here, packed onto a 2.1 metre frame with eight lighting modes. Modes run from steady through to various chase and fade patterns. The tips are PVC.

Density of lighting is what separates this from every other tree in the guide, and at 2800 bulbs the branches carry light right through to the interior rather than only on the outer surface. Eight modes covers households that want a static warm glow and those that want movement. It is the tree for anyone whose decorating leans festive rather than restrained.

Eight modes needs a controller, which is another component to store and another thing to fail. Two point one metres is a standard height that fits nearly any room. Households wanting a quiet, understated tree should look at the lower-count models instead.

Pros

• 2800 LEDs is the highest count in this guide
• Eight lighting modes
• Light reaches the interior branches, not just the surface
• Standard 2.1 metre height fits most rooms

Cons

• Controller is another part to store and can fail
• Too much light for an understated look

Key specs: 2.1 metre height; 2800 LED lights; 8 lighting modes; PVC tips.

4. Jingle Jollys 2.1m Pine Needle Christmas Tree – Best Realistic Foliage

Pine needle tips rather than flat cut PVC give this 2.1 metre tree its character, with 1584 tips across the frame. The needles are moulded to a rounder profile than standard tips. It is the highest tip count at this height in the guide.

Tip shape is what the eye reads as realistic more than colour does, and a rounded pine needle catches light differently to a flat strip of PVC. Fifteen hundred and eighty-four tips at 2.1 metres makes a genuinely full tree with no gaps showing the pole. It holds heavier ornaments without branches drooping.

This one is not pre-lit, so lights have to be threaded each year. Anyone who prefers choosing their own light colour and spacing will treat that as a feature. Households wanting to unbox and switch on should take one of the pre-lit models.

Pros

• 1584 pine needle tips, densest at this height
• Rounded needle profile looks more realistic
• Holds heavier ornaments without drooping
• Lets you choose your own lighting

Cons

• Not pre-lit, so lights must be threaded annually
• Denser foliage takes longer to fluff out

Key specs: 2.1 metre height; 1584 pine needle tips; PVC construction; not pre-lit.

5. Jingle Jollys 2.1m Corner Christmas Tree – Best for Corners

This is a half tree, flat on the back two faces so it sits into a wall corner rather than standing free. Height is 2.1 metres across 430 tips. Warm white LED bulbs come fitted.

A corner tree reclaims the floor a full tree wastes, which in a small lounge or a unit is the difference between having a tree and not. Full height is preserved, so the visual impact from the front is unchanged. It also cannot be walked into, which matters in a narrow room.

Four hundred and thirty tips is far fewer than the full profile trees, because half the tree does not exist, so it looks sparse if pulled away from the wall. It only works in a corner. Decorating is limited to the visible faces, which uses fewer ornaments.

Pros

• Flat back fits into a wall corner
• Full 2.1 metre height in half the floor space
• Pre-lit with warm white LEDs
• Cannot be knocked in a narrow room

Cons

• 430 tips looks sparse if moved away from a corner
• Only works against a wall junction

Key specs: 2.1 metre height; half corner profile; 430 tips; pre-lit warm white LED bulbs.

6. Jingle Jollys 1.8m Optic Fibre Christmas Tree – Best Colour Changing

Optic fibre strands carry light out to the tips here rather than individual bulbs sitting on the branches. The tree stands 1.8 metres and cycles through multi-colour LEDs. Light emerges from the needle ends themselves.

Fibre optics produce an effect no bulb string reproduces, with colour travelling out along each strand and shifting across the whole tree at once. It works particularly well undecorated, which suits households wanting minimal effort. At 1.8 metres it fits a standard room with room to spare.

Optic fibre trees are dimmer than a densely lit LED tree and the effect is best appreciated in a darkened room. They also cannot really be decorated heavily without covering the fibres. Treat it as a lighting feature rather than a tree to hang a collection on.

Pros

• Colour travels along the fibres for an effect bulbs cannot match
• Looks complete without decorations
• 1.8 metres suits standard rooms
• Multi-colour cycling built in

Cons

• Dimmer than a densely lit LED tree
• Heavy decoration covers the fibre effect

Key specs: 1.8 metre height; optic fibre multi-colour LED lighting; pre-lit; light emitted from needle tips.

7. Jingle Jollys 1.8m Snowy Christmas Tree – Best Snow Effect

Flocking across the branch tips gives this 1.8 metre tree a snow-dusted finish rather than plain green. The profile is slim rather than full. Generous PVC tips sit under the flocking.

A flocked tree changes the palette of the whole display, since white tips push silver, blue and clear decorations forward in a way a green tree does not. The slim profile keeps the floor footprint down at full height. It suits the white and silver look that has become common in Australian homes.

Flocking sheds, particularly in the first season and when branches are bent into position, so a drop sheet during setup is sensible. It also cannot be wiped clean the way plain PVC can. Households with young children or pets should expect some of it on the floor.

Pros

• Flocked tips suit silver, blue and clear decorations
• Slim profile saves floor space
• Full 1.8 metre height
• Generous PVC tips beneath the flocking

Cons

• Flocking sheds, especially in the first season
• Harder to clean than a plain tree

Key specs: 1.8 metre height; slim profile; snow flocked PVC tips.

8. Jingle Jollys 1.2m Potted Snowy Christmas Tree – Best Potted

A moulded pot replaces the usual metal stand on this 1.2 metre tree, with warm white LED bulbs already fitted. Snow flocking covers the tips. It stands as a finished object rather than needing a skirt to hide the base.

A potted base is the practical difference, because a tree stand is the part everybody covers with fabric and this one does not need hiding. At 1.2 metres it works on a hall table, beside a doorway or in a unit where a full tree is impossible. Pairs of them either side of an entry are a common use.

One point two metres is decorative rather than a centrepiece, and it will not hold a family ornament collection. Entryways, apartments and second rooms are where it belongs. The pot adds a little to the storage footprint.

Pros

• Potted base needs no tree skirt
• Pre-lit with warm white LEDs
• Snow flocked finish
• Works on a hall table or beside a doorway

Cons

• 1.2 metres is decorative rather than a centrepiece
• Holds only a small number of ornaments

Key specs: 1.2 metre height; potted base; snow flocked tips; pre-lit warm white LED bulbs.

9. Jingle Jollys 2.1m White Christmas Tree with 500 LEDs – Best White Finish

White throughout rather than green, this 2.1 metre tree carries 1260 tips and 500 warm LED bulbs. The frame construction matches the green trees in the range. Warm rather than cool LEDs sit against the white foliage.

A white tree is a deliberate design decision rather than a novelty, and warm bulbs stop it reading as cold or clinical the way cool white on white tends to. Twelve hundred and sixty tips is a solid count that fills out properly. Coloured baubles stand out against white far more strongly than against green.

Five hundred LEDs is modest next to the 2800-bulb model, so the lighting is a glow rather than a display. White foliage also shows dust more obviously across years of storage. It suits a considered, styled look rather than a traditional one.

Pros

• White foliage makes coloured ornaments stand out
• 1260 tips fill the frame properly
• Warm LEDs avoid a cold, clinical look
• Standard 2.1 metre height

Cons

• 500 LEDs is a modest count for the size
• White shows dust more than green over time

Key specs: 2.1 metre height; white finish; 1260 tips; 500 warm LED bulbs.

10. Jingle Jollys 45cm Mini Christmas Tree – Best Tabletop

Forty-five centimetres puts this on a table, a shelf or a desk rather than the floor. Warm lamp lights are pre-fitted. It arrives assembled apart from shaping the branches.

Something this small solves the case a full tree cannot, which is the unit, the office desk, the bedroom or the second tree for children to decorate themselves. Being pre-lit means it works as a light source in its own right on a hall table. Setup takes a minute rather than an evening.

Forty-five centimetres holds a handful of small ornaments and nothing more. It is a companion to a main tree or a complete solution for a very small space. Do not expect it to carry a display on its own in a lounge room.

Pros

• Fits a table, shelf or desk
• Pre-lit with warm lamp lights
• Assembles in about a minute
• Works as a second tree for children

Cons

• Holds only a few small ornaments
• Too small to anchor a lounge room

Key specs: 45cm height; tabletop size; pre-lit warm lamp lights; artificial PVC tips.

How to Choose the Best Artificial Christmas Trees in Australia

Tip count decides fullness, not height. Two trees of the same height can differ by a thousand tips, and the sparse one shows its centre pole through the branches no matter how it is decorated. Around 1200 tips at 2.1 metres reads as full, while 430 on a corner tree is deliberate because half the tree is absent. Check the number before the picture.

Measure the ceiling, then subtract for the topper. Standard Australian ceilings are about 2.4 metres, so a 2.4 metre tree leaves nothing for a star or angel and often will not stand upright at all once the stand lifts it. Two point one metres is the safe maximum for most homes. Only raked or double-height rooms suit the 2.7 metre option.

Pre-lit saves an evening and costs you repairability. Lights wired through the branches remove the annual job of threading them and give more even coverage than a string wrapped by hand. The trade is that a failed section cannot be swapped out for a new set, and the whole tree becomes the problem. Trees without lights let you choose colour and density each year.

Match the profile to the floor you actually have. Full profile trees need a wide circle of clear floor, slim and pencil designs keep the height while pulling the branches in, and corner half trees sit flat against a wall junction. In a unit or a narrow lounge the profile matters more than the height. Pace the space out before ordering.

Australian storage conditions matter more than they should. Trees usually live in a garage or a roof cavity where summer temperatures are extreme, and heat degrades PVC tips and flocking over years. Store the tree in its box rather than a bag, keep it off a concrete floor, and it will last several seasons longer. Flocked trees shed most in their first year regardless.

Buy earlier than feels necessary. Artificial trees are a seasonal line rather than year-round stock, and the popular heights and profiles sell through well before December in Australia. Ordering in October or early November avoids being left with whatever remains. If the tree is part of a wider entertaining setup, our guide to portable projectors in Australia covers the other thing households buy for the holidays. Confirm the tip count and height in the listing before ordering, because those two numbers decide almost everything about how the tree looks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Verdict

For a standard Australian ceiling the 2.4m Jingle Jollys is the one to buy, since 1488 LEDs across a hinged frame gives even lighting at the tallest height that still leaves room for a topper. Narrow lounges and units are far better served by the 2.1m Corner tree, which keeps full height while giving back the floor a full profile tree wastes. Anyone who wants the tree to be the light rather than a frame for it should take the 2.1m model with 2800 LEDs, which carries more than five times the bulbs of the white tree at the same height.
