As much as I love Halloween, I'm already counting down the days until I can swap my pumpkins for Christmas decorations. The second the trick-or-treaters have collected their candy and the jack-o'-lanterns are packed away, I'm ready to break out the ornaments and start playing Mariah Carey on repeat. If you're also firmly team November 1, I've got some very merry news.
Balsam Hill is already taking up to 50% off select artificial Christmas trees, so you can upgrade your old tree before the holiday rush begins. While a realistic-looking artificial tree can be a serious investment, this sale makes it easier to snag a full, bushy fir or a space-saving slim style for less.
Several Balsam Hill trees have impressed our Good Housekeeping Institute experts, including the Classic Blue Spruce, one of our picks for the best artificial Christmas trees. Our experts praised its realistic blue-green coloring, soft-yet-sturdy needles and easy assembly. Plus, it comes with gloves for fluffing the branches and a storage bag.
If your holiday decorating philosophy is the bigger, the better, the Vermont White Spruce might be more your speed. Its lush, lifelike branches create that classic Christmas tree silhouette, and our testers appreciated how easily the sections fit together and how simple the lights were to operate.
Beyond the ‘ol Tannenbaum, the sale also includes wreaths, garlands, and other accessories. Whether you're decorating the entire house on November 1 or just want to replace an aging Christmas tree before December rolls around, it's worth a look at what's included while the discounts last.
