’Tis Artificial-Christmas-Tree Season This Amazon Prime Day
October Prime Day is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our October Prime Day coverage.
October Prime Day (October 7 and October 8 this year) is billed as a pre-holiday shopping sale a whole month before Black Friday, according to our deals editor Sam Daly. Just as gifts are up for grabs, so are artificial Christmas trees. Not only will you save in the short term, you save in the long term (meaning no more overspending at a Christmas-tree farm). Some of the biggest names in the artificial Christmas-tree business — Balsam Hill, National Tree Company, and Puleo (all of which we’ve written about) — are marked down this Prime Day. This includes one that had a starring role in a Hallmark movie and a “profane pink number” that got one writer into the holiday-decorating spirit.
The sale ends tonight at 2:59 a.m., and some sizes of trees below have already sold out since yesterday (and a few trees have sold out entirely), so if you’re in the market, grab yours now.
For even more deals, be sure to check out our hub of every Prime Day deal worth shopping and the live blog that our editors are updating regularly. And sign up for the Strategist Sales Alert newsletter while you’re at it.

Until this Dunhill Fir, Stefania Orrù, head of production at Eater, owned “Charlie Brown–y” fakes. She can pile the holiday decorations on to these branches, which are “pretty pliable in terms of positioning.” She went with a “junk food” theme one year — which included a stick of butter, hot dog, and pizza in ornament form.

Writer Ivy Pochoda is known as the “person with the pink tree” in her neighborhood. This inspired her to go down a rabbit hole for vintage Christopher Radko and Kurt Adler ornaments. “It relished each ornament, coloring it with a rose glow,” she says.
