7.5′ Faux Norwegian Spruce Tree
There’s a moment every year — right around when the walking weather starts to get crispy — when we start thinking about the tree. Not the when or the where (we decorating early — before Thanksgiving), but the tree itself. Full or sparse, pre-lit or classic — there’s always the search for one that feels as magical as the real thing, without the mess.
We’ve tried our fair share over the years, and the truth is: not all faux trees are created equal. The best ones have subtle color variation, realistic branch structure, and tips that mimic the way real pine or fir needles grow. And during Wayfair’s Way Day Sale — running October 26–29 — you can score up to 80% off plus free shipping on thousands of home finds (including the most realistic faux trees we’ve seen this season).
Below are our top picks from Wayfair’s holiday lineup—trees that look incredibly lifelike and fit a range of styles, from traditional to minimal and modern.
1. The Classic Fir
If you want that quintessential Christmas look — the kind that could fool even the biggest tree snob — this one’s it. Full, lush, and perfectly symmetrical, with deep green needles, it’s ready to be strung with warm, white lights.
2. The Mountain Pine
Slightly sparser with longer branches that allow ornaments to hang freely, this style feels more natural and Scandinavian-inspired. We love it in a woven basket or linen tree collar for an organic, understated look.
3. The Frosted Spruce
A hint of flocking gives this tree a “snow-kissed” effect that catches the light beautifully without leaving a trail of white dust everywhere. It’s perfect for those who love a neutral, wintry palette.
4. The Slim EvergreeN
Ideal for smaller spaces or cozy corners, this tree’s slender profile still feels full thanks to its realistic branch texture. It’s a great second tree for an entryway, bedroom, or kitchen nook.
5. The Noble Fir
This one looks straight out of a mountain cabin — soft, layered branches, varying shades of green, and a shape that’s somehow both wild and elegant. Add simple twinkle lights and a few statement ornaments, and it’s stunning.
