About WikiChristmasTree

WikiChristmasTree keeps a record of Christmas trees on sale at the store: how tall each one stands, which lights come strung on it, how full its branches are said to be, and what it costs on the day that price was read. Use it to narrow a long season of listings down to the few trees worth a closer look.

Height, lights and tips, as the listing gives them

Every tree page repeats what the seller or the manufacturer claims: the height, whether it comes pre-lit and with how many bulbs, the color of those lights, the tip count, the stand and how the tree folds away for storage. We do not round, convert or improve those claims, and a line left blank means the listing never stated it.

Where a page notes that a tree has more tips or more lights than most, it is counting across the trees on this site. It is not telling you the tree will look fuller in your living room.

Nobody here has put one up

We have not unboxed, assembled, fluffed or lit any of these trees. You will find no photographs of our own, no ratings out of five and no claims about needle feel, shedding or how long the lights keep working, because we would have nothing to base them on.

Prices with the hour they were read

Tree prices swing hard between autumn and late December, so each price on WikiChristmasTree is taken from the store's listing and printed next to the time it was read. Once a price is too old to quote, we drop it rather than keep a stale figure on the page, and send you to the store for the current one.

How the site is paid, and what that leaves alone

WikiChristmasTree takes part in the Amazon Associates program, so it may receive a commission when a purchase follows one of its links. You pay the same either way. The order in which trees appear comes from their price and the specs you filter on; a bigger commission never lifts a tree up a list.

Our guides set trees beside each other on stated height, lights and price. The Learn pages explain terms such as tip count, needle materials and light types, drawing on what makers and standards bodies publish. The front page shows how many trees we cover.
