If you're celebrating Christmas this year, then chances are that you're on the hunt for a Christmas tree. For many, that means finding a real tree (that's affordable), tying it down to your car in the hopes that it won't fall off, watering it regularly once it's trimmed and decorated, and a whole host of other tedious bits of maintenance that come with the holiday tradition. For others, an artificial Christmas tree is always an option.
Artificial Christmas trees are certainly nothing new. They require less maintenance once they're up, and you can even store them away when the holidays and pull them back out when the holiday arrives again. It's a pretty nifty alternative to regular fir trees, but one particular style of artificial Christmas tree is so popular that it's currently trending on TikTok. Check out why the internet is obsessed with the this viral Christmas tree and where you can (try) to get your hands on one.

There are plenty of artificial Christmas trees on the market, but few are quite as popular as the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir LED pre-lit artificial Christmas tree (also known as the T27 Christmas tree) that's currently all the rage on TikTok. Specifically, TikTokers are going gaga over the 7.5 Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree, which currently retails for $349 at The Home Depot.
The tree practically comes pre-decorated with 2,250 lights installed in the tree itself, removing the hassle of having to circle other trees with an unruly tangle of Christmas lights. The lights even feature several different color settings.
The branches are sturdy to accommodate ornaments, and it also comes with a remote control to change the light settings on command. You can even download an app to control the lights from your smart device.
At $349, it's a pretty heavy investment for a Christmas tree. But considering that you'll be busting it out every year as a hassle-free alternative to actual tree shopping, it may be well worth the price tag. Either way, it's already gained plenty of traction on TikTok.
The Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree has been making the rounds on TikTok. Many are sharing videos of their trees undecorated, letting the light settings and considerable size speak for themselves. Others are loading their trees with lovely decorations. It's even earned a few haters online, with many feeling that the tree is too lackluster to justify its hefty price point. But whether you like the tree or not, good luck trying to find one anywhere.
This particular model of artificial Christmas tree is only sold at Home Depot. As of this writing, it's sold out online and stocks may be very limited depending on your location.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of other models of fake Christmas trees on the market for prospective customers to peruse. You may not be able to contribute to the viral trend by not specifically having a Grand Duchess Balsam Fir, but there are certainly alternatives to check out.
