Growing up, one of the things I’d always look forward to during the holiday season was the Christmas tree. Going tree-shopping, strapping it to the car, taking it home, and decorating it with all kinds of lights and ornaments was my favorite part of the holiday season. My family eventually switched to using a faux Christmas tree, but we all still had a lovely time setting it up and decorating it year after year. One thing we didn’t love doing? Untangling all those lights to discover what lights still worked and what lights broke.
One way to save even more time is with a pre-lit Christmas tree, which is basically a faux Christmas tree that already has lights on it. Ace Hardware now has its own pre-lit tree, and if you still haven’t gotten a tree this year, this well-reviewed holiday gem is now on sale.
What Is the Holiday Bright Lights Emerald Pine Sparkle Christmas Tree?
The Holiday Bright Lights Emerald Pine Sparkle Christmas Tree is a pre-lit Christmas tree with twinkle lights sold at Ace Hardware. It comes in five sizes, but currently, everything is out of stock except for the 7-and-a-half-foot and 9-foot versions. The 7-and-a-half-foot tree retails for $499.99 at Ace Hardware, but it’s currently $50 off, bringing the price down to $449.99. (If you have high ceilings and want to go big with the 9-foot version, that’ll run you $949.99.)
While this discounted price may still seem a bit steep, remember you’re getting both a tree and color-changing lights that you can use year after year without having to buy new stuff every time December rolls around. It also has 2,250 LED lights and 3,271 “branch tips,” so you’re definitely getting a lot to work with.
What Ace Hardware Reviewers Are Saying
This twinkle tree currently has 149 reviews on the Ace Hardware website, and almost all of them give this tree five stars. Reviewers have many kind words for this pre-lit tree, praising how it looks, how easy it is to assemble, and how convenient and customizable the lights are.
“Tree was super easy to setup. It had three parts that just clicked together effortlessly. No light wires to connect was amazing, too. It comes with a remote and a foot pedal to turn on and off the lights — so, so convenient,” one reviewer wrote. Another said that they loved “the fact that it has a remote and can go from white lights to colored lights, twinkle to steady. The lights are bright, and there are several on each branch.”
