Plastic Christmas tree – practical solution with style

The term "plastic Christmas tree" initially sounds rather unappealing to many. However, modern models have little in common with the cheap plastic trees of the past. Today, the term instead stands for high-quality, durable, and beautifully designed artificial Christmas trees that are in no way inferior to real firs in terms of appearance—but far superior in terms of comfort.

What is a plastic Christmas tree really?

A plastic Christmas tree is usually made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PE (polyethylene) – two plastics that are dimensionally stable, durable, and easy to maintain. Particularly realistic trees are made of so-called 3D injection-molded needles that replicate real needles – soft, tactile, and visually almost indistinguishable.

High-quality trees use PE for the outer branches (a natural look) and PE for the inner branches (stability). This creates a harmonious overall appearance while maintaining optimal functionality.

The advantages of a plastic tree

  • No needles, no resin, no dirt

  • Ideal for allergy sufferers and pet owners

  • Long-term cost savings

  • Safe: flame-retardant & stable

  • Simple assembly using plug-in or shielding systems

A plastic Christmas tree from ArtiTree can be set up in just a few minutes and stored away in a space-saving manner after the holiday – year after year.

Is this sustainable?

Yes – if you value quality. A high-quality artificial Christmas tree replaces an average of 10–15 real trees , saving CO₂ emissions, water, and energy. Long-term use is important. Buying a cheap new tree every year is missing the point – quality pays off.

Does it fit my living style?

Modern plastic trees come in many styles: classic green, snowy, narrow for small spaces, or grand for large living rooms. Many models are even available pre-decorated or with integrated lighting – for even more convenience and style.

Conclusion:

A plastic Christmas tree is no longer cheap, but rather a product of thoughtful design. Those who value quality get a product that brings joy year after year – no needles, no hassle, and plenty of style.
