Starting at $349, coming in three different sizes, and featuring over 3,000 branch tips and over 2,000 color-changing LEDs, TikTokers cannot help but rave about the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree from Home Depot. With just one look at its official hashtag on the app, it is a no-brainer that this product is perfection!

To highlight just one of the many TikTok users gushing about the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree, @xosimplylo could not have more positive things to say about the product, posting a video of her unboxing the Christmas tree while wearing the cutest red and white striped pajamas.

“Let’s set up the viral Christmas tree that everybody’s talking about,” she prefaced, prior to diving into the details of the product itself. “Mine is the 7’5 full version. This also comes in 9 feet, 12 feet, and a slim version as well. It has over 2,200 color changing lights, including colored lights and a warm soft white. It comes with a battery operated remote, which makes it easy to glide through all 10 different light settings.”

@xosimplylo then proceeded to showcase all of the different light settings that the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree has to offer, admitting that the “twinkle white lights” are her favorite, and we seriously could not agree more.

She concluded passionately, “This took less than 10 minutes to put up. It is worth the buy.”

While @xosimplylo believes that purchasing the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree is a must, not all TikTok users are in agreement…

@offliveoak had some critiques towards the product in a video of her own, suggesting a different Christmas tree from Home Depot instead called the Pre-Lit LED Eastcastle Balsam Fir Artificial Christmas tree.

“I’m going into Home Depot to look for the viral Christmas tree, and I was able to find it, but I’ve got some questions for y’all,” the TikTok user explained, before diving into the negatives she found surrounding the product.

“I was kinda surprised, but I think the tree looks a little hole-y. Like, I can straight up see through the tree in some spots,” she dished, discovering that the Pre-Lit LED Eastcastle Balsam Fir Artificial Christmas tree appeared to be a lot fuller, even though it was lacking the “twinkle white lights” we know and love.

To follow this statement, @offliveoak continued with yet another problem that both Christmas trees had, which was the lack of diversity when it comes to height.

“The trees either come in 7.5 feet or 9 feet tall. I have 9 foot ceilings, so I feel like I can’t get a 9 foot tall tree, because how will I fit my angel on top? But, the 7.5 foot tree looks so short,” she shared, detailing her dilemma to her nearly 500k followers.

Concluding the video by asking viewers which Christmas tree she should purchase, the TikTok user seemingly left the store empty-handed.

To check out the viral Christmas tree that TikTok users have been raving about, the Grand Duchess Balsam Fir Christmas tree, as well as the Pre-Lit LED Eastcastle Balsam Fir Artificial Christmas tree, are available to purchase at Home Depot now.
