For Black Friday artificial Christmas trees, my best overall pick is the National Tree Company 7.5-Foot Pre-Lit Dunhill Fir, which pairs a traditional shape with built-in lighting and a room-filling height. The COSTWAY 5-Foot Pre-Lit Tree is a better fit for smaller rooms, while the SHareconn 7-Foot Flocked Spruce stands out for shoppers drawn to a snowy look and remote control. The main tradeoffs are tree height and fullness, pre-lit convenience versus lighting flexibility, and traditional green foliage versus statement-making black or flocked designs. Black Friday listings can change, so I focus here on features and fit rather than temporary promotions. Read on for the full comparison and guidance on choosing the right tree for your home.

Key Takeaways
- The 7.5-foot pre-lit Dunhill Fir is my best overall balance of traditional styling, room presence, and built-in lighting; its taller frame needs more ceiling clearance than the 6- or 6.5-foot options.
- The two black-tree styles from Best Choice Products and the black YITAHOME models make a deliberate color statement, while the DWVO black tree offers an unlit route for shoppers who want to choose their own lights.
- Pre-lit models vary in more than convenience: the COSTWAY 5-foot tree offers multiple lighting modes, while several black models pair lights with remote controls.
- Unlit National Tree Company trees, including the Downswept Douglas Fir and North Valley Spruce, suit shoppers who want control over decoration and lighting rather than a ready-lit setup.
- The lineup spans 5 to 7.5 feet, but height alone does not determine fit; measure ceiling clearance and the tree’s footprint before choosing a taller or fuller style.

More Details on Our Top Picks
National Tree Company 6.5-Foot Pre-Lit Dunhill Fir Artificial Christmas Tree
For a classic green tree with lights already in place, this 6.5-foot Dunhill Fir balances a full silhouette with a footprint that is smaller than its 7.5-foot sibling. Its 1,838 tips and 51-inch base give it substantial coverage, while 650 white lights simplify decorating. Hinged branches fold down for storage, and the metal stand is included; the five-year warranty also gives this pick a longer stated coverage period than the SHareconn flocked spruce, whose listed specs do not include a warranty.
The tradeoff is time: plan on 45–60 minutes of shaping after assembly, so it is not a ready-to-decorate tree straight from the box. Its lights are designed to stay lit when an individual bulb fails, but not when a bulb lens is cracked or broken. I’d choose it over the larger Dunhill when room is limited, but skip it if you want color-changing modes or flocked branches.
Pros:- 1,838 crafted tips create a full-bodied profile.
- 650 white lights are built in.
- Hinged branches fold down for storage.
- Includes a metal stand and a five-year warranty.
Cons:- Needs 45–60 minutes of shaping after assembly.
- A cracked or broken bulb lens can affect the lights staying illuminated.
- The 51-inch base still needs a substantial floor area.
Best for: Households seeking a traditional, full-profile tree with white lights and a manageable height for rooms that cannot accommodate a 7.5-foot model.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want multicolor lighting, a snowy flocked look, or minimal branch shaping after assembly.
- Brand:National Tree Company
- Tree type:Dunhill Fir
- Height:6.5 feet
- Base diameter:51 inches
- Branch tips:1,838
- Lighting:650 white lights
- Branches and stand:Pre-attached hinged branches; metal stand included
- Needles and use:Hypo-allergenic, fire-resistant; indoor use
- Warranty:5 years
Our verdict“Choose this Dunhill Fir for a full traditional tree with built-in white lights, but choose the taller Dunhill for dual-color settings or the SHareconn for a flocked finish.”
National Tree Company 7.5-Foot Pre-Lit Dunhill Fir Artificial Christmas Tree
This is the lineup’s more adaptable traditional tree: its 900 dual-color LEDs switch between white and multicolor, with ten functions for changing the display without adding separate strings. Compared with the 6.5-foot National Tree Company Dunhill Fir, it brings more height and lighting choices, but its 59-inch base diameter asks for considerably more floor space. The PowerConnect system routes wiring through the center pole, reducing the branch-level plug work associated with conventional pre-lit setups.
Hinged branches and a metal stand make assembly and storage more straightforward, though the tree still needs 45–60 minutes of shaping. The supplied details describe a full profile but do not give an exact tip count, so buyers who compare trees by branch-tip totals have less to work with than they do for the 6.5-foot model. I’d pick this over the flocked SHareconn when height and lighting control matter more than a snowy look.
Pros:- 900 dual-color LEDs offer white and multicolor lighting.
- Ten light functions give more display choices than a basic white-light tree.
- PowerConnect routes wiring through the center pole.
- Hinged branches, metal stand, and five-year warranty are included.
Cons:- The 59-inch base requires a broad floor area.
- Needs 45–60 minutes of branch shaping.
- The provided product details do not state an exact branch-tip count.
Best for: Households with tall ceilings and open floor space that want a traditional green tree with both white and multicolor lighting options.
Not ideal for: Apartment dwellers or anyone with a narrow tree location; its 59-inch base is wider than the 6.5-foot Dunhill’s.
- Brand:National Tree Company
- Tree type:Dunhill Fir
- Height:7.5 feet
- Base diameter:59 inches
- Lighting:900 dual-color LED bulbs
- Light colors and functions:White and multicolor; 10 functions
- Wiring:PowerConnect system
- Branches and stand:Pre-attached hinged branches; metal stand
- Warranty:5 years
Our verdict“Pick this taller Dunhill over the 6.5-foot version when ceiling height and lighting variety justify its wider footprint.”
COSTWAY 6-Foot Artificial PVC Christmas Tree with Stand
The COSTWAY makes the most sense for shoppers who want a snowy finish but prefer to choose their own lights. Its white-flocked PVC branches supply the wintry look without built-in bulbs, unlike either National Tree Company Dunhill; that leaves more freedom to set the color, placement, and style of lighting. The 6-foot height and 36-inch listed width and depth also make its footprint easier to place than the 7.5-foot Dunhill Fir’s 59-inch base.
That flexibility comes with extra work: buyers need to supply lights if they want an illuminated tree, and the product information gives varying branch-tip counts, so I would not choose it based on tip density alone. It includes a metal stand and is listed for indoor or outdoor display, a broader use claim than the indoor-only Dunhill models. Compared with the SHareconn, it has no remote, timer, or built-in lighting modes; choose it for custom decorating, not convenience.
Pros:- White flocking creates a snowy appearance.
- Unlit branches allow personalized lighting and ornament placement.
- Metal stand is included.
- Listed for indoor or outdoor display.
Cons:- Lights must be purchased separately if illumination is wanted.
- Branch-tip counts vary across the supplied product description.
- No built-in lighting modes, remote, timer, or memory function.
Best for: DIY decorators who want a flocked tree for an indoor or outdoor display and want to select their own lights and ornaments.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a pre-lit tree, reliable branch-tip-count comparisons, or remote-controlled lighting features.
- Brand:COSTWAY
- Tree type:Pine
- Height:6 feet
- Dimensions:36 × 36 × 72 inches
- Material:PVC
- Branch tips:650 listed; count varies in product description
- Lighting and color:Unlit; green with white flocking
- Stand and use:Metal stand; indoor or outdoor display
Our verdict“Choose the COSTWAY over the pre-lit Dunhill trees when a flocked finish and custom lighting matter more than plug-in convenience.”
SHareconn 7 ft Pre-Lit Flocked Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree with Remote
Among these five, the SHareconn is the clearest choice for shoppers who want a snowy tree and built-in lighting controls. Its 932 PVC tips carry flocking, while 300 warm-white and multicolor LEDs provide 23 modes, plus a remote, timer, and memory function. That is more hands-on control than either pre-lit Dunhill offers in the supplied details, and it avoids the separate light purchase required by the unlit COSTWAY.
The tradeoff is that the branches may need arranging to fill gaps, and its listed dimensions are unusual: 42.91 × 14.17 inches at the base may not communicate the same broad footprint as the Dunhill’s stated diameter. The tree separates into three hinged sections for storage, but the remote battery is not included. I’d favor it over the black DWVO when a lighted winter look is the goal; skip it if you want a conventional green fir or a stated warranty.
Pros:- Flocked spruce branches create a snowy look.
- 300 LEDs offer warm-white and multicolor options across 23 modes.
- Remote includes timer and memory functions.
- Three-section hinged construction supports setup and storage.
Cons:- Branches may need arranging to create a fuller appearance.
- Remote battery is not included.
- Supplied dimensions list a notably narrow 14.17-inch measurement, which may make footprint planning less clear.
Best for: Decorators seeking a flocked, lighted tree with remote-selected colors and modes, along with timer and memory controls.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a traditional green tree, guaranteed dense-looking branches without extra shaping, or a remote ready to use without supplying a battery.
- Tree type and height:Spruce; 7 feet
- Material and color:PVC; white flocked finish
- Branch tips:932
- Lighting:300 warm-white and multicolor LED lights
- Lighting modes:23
- Controls:Remote, timer, and memory function
- Construction:Three hinged sections
- Dimensions and weight:42.91 × 14.17 × 84 inches; 18.7 pounds
- Remote battery:Not included
Our verdict“Choose the SHareconn over the unlit COSTWAY if you want flocking plus built-in lighting controls and are willing to shape the branches.”
DWVO 6 ft Black Artificial Christmas Tree with 818 Tips
The DWVO stands apart from the green and flocked options with a black PVC silhouette suited to Halloween displays, dramatic Christmas themes, or event décor. Its 818 non-shedding tips, hinged branches, and three-section design give it a more defined setup and storage plan than the unlit COSTWAY, while the collapsible metal base helps reduce storage bulk. It is also the only product here explicitly listed for both Christmas and Halloween occasions.
This is an unlit tree, so anyone who wants a glowing centerpiece must add lights; the pre-lit Dunhill and SHareconn are simpler choices for that. Branch tips need shaping to fill gaps, and its 41.34-inch square footprint is wider than the DWVO’s six-foot height might suggest. I’d choose it for a dark, unconventional palette and skip it for a traditional green holiday look or a ready-lit tree.
Pros:- Black foliage suits distinctive Christmas, Halloween, and event displays.
- 818 non-shedding PVC tips provide a substantial branch count.
- Three hinged sections and a foldable base support storage.
- Metal stand and flame-resistant foliage are listed.
Cons:- Unlit design requires separate lights for an illuminated display.
- Branch tips need shaping to fill gaps.
- Its 41.34-inch square footprint takes up more floor space than a narrow-profile tree.
Best for: Shoppers planning black-themed Christmas or Halloween décor who want a reusable, unlit tree with hinged branches and compacting storage sections.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a traditional green fir, built-in lights, or a tree that looks full without arranging its tips.
- Brand:DWVO
- Height:6 feet
- Color and material:Black PVC
- Branch tips:818
- Lighting:Unlit
- Dimensions and weight:41.34 × 41.34 × 72 inches; 9.6 pounds
- Assembly:Three sections with hinged branches
- Base:Sturdy foldable metal stand
- Special features and use:Flame-resistant; indoor use; listed for Christmas and Halloween
Our verdict“Choose the DWVO over the green COSTWAY when black seasonal décor and storage-friendly construction matter more than built-in lighting.”
Best Choice Products 6-Foot Pre-Lit Black Artificial Pine Christmas Tree
For a buyer drawn to a black tree but unwilling to settle for one fixed lighting look, this Best Choice Products model offers 250 warm-white LEDs with twinkle, slow-fade, and steady-on settings. That gives it more built-in mood choices than the Yaheetech 6 ft Pre-Lit Black Christmas Tree, which has 300 warm-white lights but no lighting modes listed. The tradeoff is fewer lights, so buyers who prioritize light count over effects may prefer Yaheetech. At 6 feet, this fits more readily into rooms where a taller tree would dominate, while its 947 tips provide a fuller branch count than Yaheetech’s 818. Hinged construction and three-step assembly simplify setup, but the branches still need fluffing. Its black color is a deliberate style choice, not a match for conventional green-tree décor.
Pros:- Three lighting functions provide different warm-white display effects.
- 947 branch tips offer a higher listed tip count than the Yaheetech black spruce in this roundup.
- Hinged construction and three-step assembly simplify setup.
- Metal stand and metal hinges support the tree structure.
Cons:- Black branches may clash with traditional green-tree décor.
- Branches require fluffing after assembly.
- Its 250 lights are fewer than the 300 on the Yaheetech 6-foot black tree.
Best for: Shoppers seeking a 6-foot black tree with several warm-white lighting effects for a contemporary or Halloween-to-Christmas display.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a traditional green holiday centerpiece or who prioritize a higher pre-installed light count over selectable effects.
- Brand:Best Choice Products
- Tree type:Pine
- Height:6 ft
- Color:Black
- Branch tips:947
- Lights:250 warm-white LEDs
- Lighting functions:Twinkle, slow fade, steady on
- Dimensions:46 × 46 × 72 in
- Assembly:Three steps
Our verdict“Choose this tree if lighting effects matter more than maximum light count and you want a compact black centerpiece.”
National Tree Company 7-Foot Unlit Dunhill Fir Artificial Christmas Tree
I’d place this Dunhill Fir ahead of the smaller COSTWAY 5-Foot Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree for shoppers who want a substantial, traditional green centerpiece and already have a lighting plan. Its 2,144 branch tips and 55-inch base create a full profile, while the COSTWAY is shorter and comes with lights and modes for a more ready-to-display setup. That difference makes this National Tree Company option better for buyers who want to choose their own lights, but less convenient for anyone hoping to decorate quickly. Hinged branches fold down for storage, and the metal stand is included. Expect to spend 45–60 minutes shaping the tree after assembly; its density rewards that effort, but the unlit design means lights are an added task.
Pros:- Full profile with 2,144 individually crafted branch tips.
- Hinged branches fold down for setup and storage.
- Hypoallergenic, fire-resistant needles are specified.
- Metal stand and a five-year warranty are included.
Cons:- Requires 45–60 minutes of branch shaping after assembly.
- Unlit design requires buyers to supply and install lights.
- The 55-inch base takes more floor space than the compact COSTWAY 5-foot tree.
Best for: Households with room for a wide, full 7-foot tree who want to choose their own lights and decorations.
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited floor space or anyone wanting pre-installed lights and a quick, low-effort setup.
- Brand:National Tree Company
- Tree type:Dunhill Fir
- Height:7 ft
- Base diameter:55 in
- Branch tips:2,144
- Lighting:Unlit
- Branch design:Pre-attached hinged branches
- Setup and shaping time:45–60 minutes
- Warranty:5 years
Our verdict“Pick this Dunhill Fir for a spacious room and a full, customizable tree, provided you are willing to add lights and shape it carefully.”
National Tree Company 7.5-Foot Unlit Downswept Douglas Fir Artificial Christmas Tree
This 7.5-foot Douglas Fir suits buyers who want a taller, downswept silhouette and lifelike molded branch tips rather than the denser, slightly shorter Dunhill Fir. Its 59-inch base is wider than the Dunhill’s 55-inch footprint, so the extra height comes with a real space demand. The crush-resistant polyethylene tips distinguish it from the Dunhill’s listed branch-tip construction and support a more lifelike look, but the tree has 1,867 tips rather than the Dunhill’s 2,144. Both are unlit and require 45–60 minutes of shaping, so neither is the fast route to a finished display. This pick makes more sense when height and molded-tip realism outrank maximum tip count; you will need to provide your own lights.
Pros:- 7.5-foot height gives the tree a taller profile than the 7-foot Dunhill Fir.
- Lifelike molded tips are made from crush-resistant polyethylene.
- Hinged branches fold down for storage.
- Includes a metal stand and a five-year tree warranty.
Cons:- The 59-inch base needs more floor space than the Dunhill Fir’s 55-inch base.
- Unlit design means lights must be added separately.
- Branch shaping takes 45–60 minutes after assembly.
Best for: Decorators with generous ceiling and floor space who prefer a tall fir profile and plan to select their own lights.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a narrow footprint, a pre-lit tree, or the densest listed tip count among the two National Tree Company firs.
- Brand:National Tree Company
- Tree type:Douglas Fir
- Height:7.5 ft
- Base diameter:59 in
- Branch tips:1,867
- Branch material:Crush-resistant polyethylene
- Lighting:Unlit
- Setup and shaping time:45–60 minutes
- Warranty:5 years for the tree
Our verdict“Choose this Douglas Fir for added height and molded-tip realism if you have room to spare and do not mind adding lights.”
COSTWAY 5-Foot Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree with 11 Lighting Modes
Among these five options, the COSTWAY is the easiest fit for a smaller room: at 5 feet tall and 33.6 inches wide, it claims less space than the two 6-foot black trees and the full-size National Tree Company firs. Its 150 LEDs offer 11 lighting modes, including warm white and multicolored choices, giving it more lighting variety than the Best Choice Products black pine’s three functions. The tradeoff is scale and branch count: 600 PVC tips make this a modest compact tree, not a substitute for the National Tree Company Dunhill’s full 2,144-tip profile. A hinged three-section design and foldable stand help with storage, though the sections and stand still need seasonal storage space, and branches require shaping before display.
Pros:- Compact 5-foot size and 33.6-inch width suit tighter rooms.
- Eleven lighting modes include warm-white and multicolored options.
- Hinged sections and a foldable stand support easier setup and storage.
- Non-slip feet help the stand stay in place and protect floors.
Cons:- At 600 tips, it has a smaller branch count than the larger National Tree Company options.
- Branches need fluffing and shaping after assembly.
- The sections and stand still require storage between seasons.
Best for: Apartment dwellers, small-room decorators, or households wanting a short pre-lit tree with both warm-white and multicolored settings.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a tall, dense centerpiece or a tree with a lifelike molded-tip appearance.
- Brand:COSTWAY
- Tree type:Fir
- Height:5 ft
- Dimensions:33.6 × 33.6 × 60 in
- Branch tips:600
- Lights:150 LEDs
- Lighting modes:11; warm white and multicolored
- Stand:Foldable cross-shaped metal stand with non-slip feet
Our verdict“Choose this COSTWAY if a compact footprint and varied built-in lighting matter more than a tall, full-bodied tree.”
Yaheetech 6 ft Pre-Lit Black Christmas Tree with 300 Warm White Lights
For shoppers who want a black tree with a bright, fixed warm-white display, Yaheetech puts 300 pre-installed lights on a 6-foot spruce. That is 50 more than the Best Choice Products 6-Foot Pre-Lit Black Pine, which counters with three lighting functions and 947 tips versus Yaheetech’s 818. The choice is clear: prioritize light count and simple setup here, or choose Best Choice for selectable effects and a higher listed tip count. Yaheetech’s bendable tips let decorators shape the branches around ornaments, and hinged construction helps with assembly. Its black finish can suit contemporary or Halloween décor, but it is a marked departure from a conventional green Christmas tree. The indoor-only design also rules it out for outdoor displays.
Pros:- 300 pre-installed warm-white lights simplify decorating.
- Bendable tips allow shaping around ornaments and personal display styles.
- Hinged branches make setup more convenient.
- Includes a foldable metal stand.
Cons:- Black color may not suit traditional Christmas décor.
- Indoor use only, so it is not intended for outdoor display.
- No lighting modes are listed, unlike the Best Choice Products black pine.
Best for: Decorators who want a 6-foot black spruce with more warm-white lights and pliable branches for shaping.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer green holiday décor, need an outdoor tree, or want multiple built-in lighting effects.
- Brand:Yaheetech
- Tree type:Spruce
- Height:6 ft
- Dimensions:45.5 × 45.5 × 72 in
- Color:Black
- Branch tips:818
- Lights:300 pre-installed warm-white lights
- Branch design:Bendable tips and hinged branches
- Recommended use:Indoor
Our verdict“Pick Yaheetech if you want a black 6-foot tree with a higher warm-white light count and do not need selectable effects.”
YITAHOME 6 ft Pre-Lit Black Artificial Christmas Tree with Remote, 818 Tips and 250 Lights
For a compact black tree that arrives pre-lit, this YITAHOME makes seasonal setup more straightforward than the larger, unlit Best Choice Products 7.5-Foot Artificial Black Spruce. Its 818 PVC tips and 250 white lights provide a ready-made base, while the remote lets you change brightness and choose among eight lighting modes from up to 13 feet away. Hinged branches and the X-shaped iron stand also reduce the number of separate setup steps. The tradeoff is a more restrained look than a full-size centerpiece, and its single white-light color gives you less display variety than the other YITAHOME 6-Foot Pre-Lit Black Artificial Christmas Tree with Remote, which offers three lighting colors and 11 modes. Black branches are a deliberate style choice, and ornaments are not included.
Pros:- 250 pre-strung white lights and eight modes provide a lit display without a separate string-light purchase.
- Remote control operates lighting and brightness from up to 13 feet away.
- Hinged branches make assembly and later storage more manageable.
- X-shaped iron stand supports the tree.
Cons:- Black coloring is a distinctive alternative to a conventional green Christmas tree.
- Only white lights are specified, unlike the other YITAHOME model’s three color choices.
- Ornaments and other decorations are not included.
Best for: Shoppers who want a six-foot black tree with included white lights and remote-operated settings for a home, office, or party display.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a traditional green centerpiece, multiple light colors, or a ready-to-decorate tree with ornaments included.
- Height:6 ft
- Tree type:Pine
- Color:Black
- Branch tips:818
- Lights:250 pre-strung white lights
- Lighting modes:8
- Remote range:Up to 13 ft
- Stand:X-shaped iron
Our verdict“Choose this YITAHOME if you want a six-foot black tree with remote-controlled white lighting and simpler setup rather than a larger, customizable unlit tree.”
Alupssuc 6 ft Pre-Lit Christmas Tree with Warm White Lights and Hinged Branches
The Alupssuc suits shoppers who want a green six-foot tree with warm white LEDs and more lighting patterns than a simple steady setting. Its 13 modes and eight-hour timer add flexibility for an indoor display, while hinged branches make the basic assembly less involved. Compared with the black YITAHOME trees in this roundup, this is the conventional-color pick: it blends more easily with traditional ornaments and holiday décor, but it gives up their distinctive black look and, in one YITAHOME model, remote operation and multiple light colors. Its listed dimensions suggest a particularly narrow footprint, which can help in tight rooms but won’t suit buyers after a broad, room-filling tree. The 728 tips still need shaping after unfolding, so the listed fullness takes some hands-on preparation.
Pros:- Warm white LEDs and 13 modes offer varied lighting without buying separate lights.
- Eight-hour timer adds a scheduled lighting option.
- Hinged branches simplify assembly.
- Narrow listed dimensions suit rooms with limited floor space.
Cons:- The listed 15.35-inch depth and width mean it is not a broad, full-profile tree.
- Branches require shaping after unfolding.
- Its warm-white-only light color offers less variety than the three-color YITAHOME 6-Foot Pre-Lit Black Artificial Christmas Tree with Remote.
Best for: People furnishing a small indoor space who prefer a green tree, warm white lighting, and a built-in timer.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who want a wide, full-profile tree, a remote control, or a black tree suited to alternative Christmas and Halloween displays.
- Height:6 ft
- Branch tips:728
- Material:PET
- Color:Green
- Light color:Warm white
- Lighting modes:13
- Timer:8 hours
- Stand:Metal
Our verdict“Pick the Alupssuc for a space-conscious green tree with warm white lights and a timer, but skip it if you want a wide silhouette or remote control.”
National Tree Company 7.5-Foot Unlit North Valley Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree
This North Valley Spruce is the strongest fit for buyers who want a taller, traditional green tree and would rather choose their own lights than accept a pre-lit setup. At 7.5 feet and 54 inches wide, it makes more of a room-filling display than the six-foot Alupssuc, but that extra scale calls for more floor space. Its 1,346 PVC tips and hinged branches provide a full starting structure; the branches still need 45–60 minutes of shaping after assembly, so this is not the quickest option in the group. Compared with the black Best Choice Products 7.5-Foot Artificial Black Spruce, it offers a classic spruce color rather than a statement-making black finish. Both leave lighting and ornament choices to the buyer, making this model a better match for traditional décor and a poor fit for anyone seeking a ready-lit tree.
Pros:- Unlit branches let buyers select their preferred light type and arrangement.
- A 7.5-foot height and 54-inch diameter create a substantial display.
- Hinged branches support setup and storage.
- Includes a stand and lists a five-year warranty.
Cons:- Requires 45–60 minutes of shaping after assembly.
- The 54-inch diameter takes considerable floor space.
- Lights must be purchased and arranged separately.
Best for: Buyers with a spacious room who want a traditional green 7.5-foot tree and control over their lights and decorations.
Not ideal for: People short on floor space or time for shaping, or shoppers who want lights already installed.
- Tree type:North Valley Spruce
- Height:7.5 ft
- Diameter:54 in
- Branch tips:1,346
- Material:PVC
- Lighting:Unlit
- Branch system:Hinged
- Warranty:5 years
Our verdict“Choose this tree for a spacious room and a custom-lit traditional display; choose a pre-lit model instead if you want less setup work.”
Best Choice Products 7.5-Foot Artificial Black Spruce Christmas Tree
When the priority is a tall black tree with a dense silhouette, this Best Choice Products spruce offers more scale than either six-foot YITAHOME black tree. Its 7.5-foot height, 51.6-inch width, and 1,346 PVC tips give it a larger presence, while the metal stand and three-step assembly keep the basic structure straightforward. The tradeoff is that this tree is unlit: buyers need to supply and arrange lights themselves, unlike the YITAHOME options, which arrive with 250 lights and remote controls. It also needs fluffing after assembly, so the three steps do not mean the display is finished quickly. Its black finish is less suited to shoppers seeking a traditional green tree, but makes sense for a bold Christmas look or a display that can also work for Halloween.
Pros:- 7.5-foot height and 1,346 tips create a full, tapered black silhouette.
- Unlit branches allow complete control over lights and decorations.
- Includes a metal stand.
- Three-step assembly establishes the tree structure.
Cons:- No lights are included, unlike either pre-lit YITAHOME black tree.
- Branches need fluffing after assembly.
- Its 51.6-inch width requires substantial floor space.
Best for: Buyers with room for a 7.5-foot statement tree who want a dense black canvas for personally chosen lights and decorations.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who want a pre-lit tree, a compact footprint, or the familiar appearance of green spruce.
- Tree type:Artificial spruce
- Height:7.5 ft, including stand
- Width:51.6 in
- Color:Black spruce
- Branch tips:1,346
- Material:PVC
- Lighting:Unlit
- Stand:Metal
Our verdict“Pick this model for a large black centerpiece you can decorate yourself, not for a compact or ready-lit tree.”
YITAHOME 6-Foot Pre-Lit Black Artificial Christmas Tree with Remote
This YITAHOME stands apart from the other six-foot black option in the batch by offering three lighting colors and 11 modes, including warm white, vibrant multicolor, and warm multicolor. That range makes it easier to shift the tree’s look for Christmas or Halloween without replacing the lights. Like the more restrained YITAHOME model, it includes 250 lights, a remote with a 13-foot range, hinged branches, and a foldable design for storage. It has over 820 tips, close to the other model’s 818, so the main difference is lighting flexibility, not branch count.

How We Picked
I compared these 15 trees on the details that shape ownership: height and style, lighting setup, branch design, assembly practicality, and flexibility for decorating. I also separated conventional green trees from flocked and black designs, since those styles serve different rooms and decorating plans. A pre-lit tree can reduce setup work, but it may limit lighting changes; an unlit model takes more decorating effort while giving the buyer more control.
The ranking favors trees that offer a clear fit for a common buyer need without hiding a meaningful tradeoff. The 7.5-foot pre-lit Dunhill Fir leads as a broadly usable traditional choice, while shorter, specialty-color, unlit, and feature-focused models rank for narrower priorities. Because product listings and Black Friday offers can change, I do not use temporary pricing or promotions to determine the order.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Black Friday Artificial Christmas Trees
Choosing a tree during Black Friday sales is easier when I separate the purchase into room fit, decorating preferences, and setup expectations. A dramatic style or a long feature list matters less if the tree crowds the room or its lighting does not suit your routine.
Measure the Room, Not Just the Ceiling
Tree height is only one part of the fit: a topper, ceiling fixture, or sloped ceiling can make a nominal 7.5-foot tree feel too tall. Measure from the floor to the lowest overhead obstacle, then leave space for the topper and for lifting the upper section into place. Check the tree’s widest point too, especially if it will sit near a doorway, sofa, or walkway. A narrower corner may suit a smaller tree even when the ceiling could accommodate a taller one. A common mistake is buying by height alone and discovering that the branches block circulation or decorations press against nearby furniture. I would choose a shorter model when it gives the room space to function comfortably.
Choose Pre-Lit or Unlit Based on Your Habits
Pre-lit trees reduce the yearly task of wrapping lights around branches, which can be useful if setup time is a priority. The tradeoff is less freedom to change the lighting layout, color, or density, and a lighting issue can complicate use of the tree. Unlit trees take longer to decorate but let you select the lights and refresh the look from season to season. Think about whether your household likes a consistent display or changes its theme often. Do not assume that every pre-lit model offers the same controls: modes and remote functions differ. If you already own lights you like, an unlit tree may be the more practical match.
Treat Black and Flocked Trees as Decor Choices
Black foliage and flocked branches change the whole visual effect, so choose them to suit the room and your ornaments rather than as a novelty alone. Black trees can make bright ornaments and lights stand out, but they may feel less traditional and may not blend with every decorating scheme. Flocked branches create a snowy look without relying on green foliage, though the texture can be more visually dominant than a classic fir. Consider the tree’s location and the colors already in the room before committing to a statement style. If you want a tree that can support many different themes over time, a conventional green model is usually more adaptable. If you want the tree itself to be a focal point, a specialty finish can do more of the decorating work.
Look Beyond Branch Tip Counts
A listed tip count can suggest how much foliage a tree has, but it does not describe the shape or spacing of its branches. Two trees with similar counts may look different once assembled, and a denser silhouette can require more room than a narrower profile. Check the named tree style and product dimensions alongside the tip figure rather than treating one number as a complete measure of fullness. Also allow time to shape the branches after assembly; careful fluffing can affect the finished appearance. If a tree will sit in a corner, a full view from every side may matter less than it would in the center of a room. Match the tree’s form to where people will see it.
Factor Assembly and Storage Into the Choice
A tree that separates into sections may be easier to carry and store than a single bulky piece, but the assembled tree still needs branch shaping before it looks settled. Consider where the box will live for most of the year and whether stairs, closet openings, or storage shelves limit its size. Hinged branches can make setup more orderly, while separate branches may take more arranging. Check the listing for assembly details rather than assuming all artificial trees open in the same way. Storage is a recurring part of ownership, not an afterthought once the holiday ends. If storage space is tight, a smaller tree may be a better long-term choice than the tallest one your room can fit.
Use Black Friday Offers to Compare the Full Package
Seasonal promotions can draw attention to a listed deal, but the right comparison is between the tree’s features and the way you will use it. Check whether lighting is included, whether a remote or multiple modes are provided, and whether the style fits your existing decorations. Confirm dimensions, included stand details, and assembly information on the current product page, since listings can change. Avoid paying extra for controls you will rarely use, but do not dismiss a feature that solves a recurring setup problem. For a tree expected to serve for several seasons, ease of storage and decorating flexibility may matter more than a short-lived promotion. I would compare like with like: similar height, lighting type, and foliage style.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which tree should I choose if I want a traditional look but need built-in lights?
I would start with the National Tree Company 7.5-Foot Pre-Lit Dunhill Fir if your room has enough clearance and you want a taller traditional centerpiece. Its 6.5-foot counterpart is a sensible alternative for lower ceilings or tighter rooms. Both keep the choice within the Dunhill Fir style while offering pre-lit convenience. Before deciding, check the current listing for the exact height and lighting details, since product pages can change. If you prefer to choose your own lights, compare the unlit Dunhill Fir instead.
Is a pre-lit tree the right choice if I like changing my holiday decor?
It depends on what you like to change. A pre-lit tree can still support different ornaments and garlands, but its built-in lights shape the look you start with. If you regularly switch between lighting colors or want to arrange lights yourself, an unlit National Tree Company option gives you more control. If the convenience of built-in lights matters more, a remote-controlled model or one with multiple lighting modes may offer more variation. Check the specific listing rather than assuming all pre-lit trees have the same controls.
Should I buy a black tree if I want something I can use for years?
A black tree can work for multiple seasons if its color fits your home and decorating plans, but it is a more distinctive choice than a conventional green fir. Bright ornaments and lights can stand out against black foliage, while some traditional themes may feel less natural on it. If you want maximum flexibility across changing styles, a green tree is the safer long-term option. If you already enjoy bold or contemporary decor, the black Best Choice Products or YITAHOME models may suit that preference. Consider where the tree will be displayed and whether its color will work with the room every year.
How do I decide between a 6-foot and a 7.5-foot tree?
Start with usable ceiling height, including the space needed for a topper, then check how much floor area the branches will occupy. A 7.5-foot tree creates more vertical presence but can feel crowded beneath low ceilings or in a room with large furniture. A 6-foot model is easier to place in smaller living spaces and may be simpler to store. The lineup also includes a 6.5-foot traditional Dunhill Fir, which can offer a middle ground. Measure the intended spot before ordering rather than relying on the room’s general appearance.
When is an unlit tree a better buy than a pre-lit one?
An unlit tree makes more sense when you already own lights, want to choose their color and placement, or expect to change your display from season to season. It also avoids committing to a built-in lighting arrangement that may not match future decor. The tradeoff is added setup time each year, along with the need to store lights separately. The National Tree Company unlit Dunhill Fir, Downswept Douglas Fir, and North Valley Spruce offer different traditional styles for that approach. If reducing setup work matters more than lighting flexibility, a pre-lit option is likely the better fit.
Conclusion
My best overall choice is the National Tree Company 7.5-Foot Pre-Lit Dunhill Fir for shoppers who want a traditional, ready-lit centerpiece and have enough ceiling clearance. For best value in practical fit, I would look at the COSTWAY 5-Foot Pre-Lit Tree when a smaller footprint and multiple lighting modes matter more than height. The best premium-style pick is the SHareconn 7-Foot Flocked Spruce for shoppers who want a snowy look and remote control, while the pre-lit Dunhill Fir is my best for beginners because it keeps the style familiar and reduces the need to add lights. For specific needs, choose an unlit National Tree Company tree for lighting freedom, or a black Best Choice Products or YITAHOME model for a bold color statement. Measure your space and decide on lighting before choosing; those two choices narrow this lineup quickly.
