Despite how much you want a huge artificial Christmas tree in your living room, sometimes you just don't have the space. Unless you're willing to tiptoe around the tree and risk bumping into delicate ornaments every five minutes, a slim Christmas tree is a great alternative.
The width of a slim Christmas tree is usually around half its height, so it'll take up less space overall. They're great for doorways, hallways, corners, behind couches — basically everywhere.
But what they lack in width, they make up for in festive holiday spirit. Here are 12 of our favorite slim Christmas trees, from fun palm trees to fully decorated ones covered with pine cones and red berries. Some even start as low as $39.99.
