Dollar Tree Shoppers Are Loving These Ceramic Christmas Trees

They might be difficult to find in stores, but luckily, you can shop them online.

With the end of spooky season in sight, it's just about time to start taking inventory of Christmas decor you already have — think outdoor lights, tree toppers and artificial trees — and what you may need to buy new this holiday season. And if you've come to the conclusion that you need to rethink your budget this year (you're most definitely not alone), there's one place you should always look: Dollar Tree.

This year, shoppers are absolutely loving Dollar Tree's ceramic Christmas trees not only for their affordable price tag (they're only $5 each!), but also for their nostalgic value. Because who didn't have one of these light-up tabletop trees as a kid?

"These remind me of ceramic trees from when I was growing up (except now, they are battery operated instead of plug in, a good thing!)," wrote one Dollar Tree customer.

Whether you were the lucky one responsible for fitting each tiny ornament into each tiny hole or you were the unlucky one tasked to find the little doodads that went missing, we all have fond memories with these delicate beauties.

Dollar Tree customers and social media users have become obsessed with these $5 trees, so much so that they're buying them in bulk (which makes them difficult to find in stores). And while you can purchase them from Dollar Tree online, the minimum that can be shipped is eight at a time, which comes out to $40. If you don't have a store nearby or don't want to buy eight trees at once, we found similar picks from Amazon that are just as good.

If you'd like to revitalize your Christmas decor this year with some old-fashioned charm, light-up ceramic trees are a must. Plus, they go with everything — light up your mantel, add some extra decor to a Christmas village set or simply place them on your nightstand and reflect on the therapeutic process of intricately adorning each small tree with even smaller ornaments.
