It might only be the height of summer, but now is one of the smartest times to buy an artificial Christmas tree. Shopping early gives you the widest choice of styles, sizes and heights before the festive rush begins, while many retailers are already offering early discounts or including last year’s designs in clearance sales.

If you already have an artificial tree you're happy with, the most sustainable choice is to keep using it. But if you do need to replace an old one or are buying your first artificial tree, shopping ahead can save both money and stress. Research suggests an artificial Christmas tree typically needs to be reused for around seven to 10 years before it has a lower overall environmental impact than buying a new real tree each festive season.

From full, bushy styles to slim alpine trees, and warm white lights to brighter displays, shop our top artificial Christmas trees currently on sale below.
