Real Touch™ Christmas Greenery: Realism, Luxury and Style for Your Holiday Decor

Once upon a time, artificial Christmas trees resembled a pile of old bottle brushes – an awkward arrangement of stiff dyed green bristles that vaguely resembled a pine tree.

Even so, they delighted people who didn’t want to deal with the mess and maintenance of a real Christmas tree.

Thankfully, artificial tree manufacturing and design have greatly improved. In millions of homes, beautifully decorated faux Christmas trees admirably serve as the centerpiece of the holiday season.

Traditional, or “classic,” artificial trees are made using thin strips of PVC plastic wound together with wire to resemble pine needles on a branch. The tips are arranged on larger branches, which in turn are connected to a central pole or “trunk” to form a Christmas tree with its familiar cone shape.

Classic Christmas trees are attractive, long-lasting, non-allergenic and available in many styles and colors. 

However, classic trees are no longer the only option. For consumers who crave realism and variety in style, Northlight, Christmas Central’s proprietary brand, created Real Touch™ realistic artificial Christmas trees and luxury greenery.

Unlike the feathery plastic needles on a classic tree, a realistic Christmas tree achieves its natural beauty by design. Their polyethylene (PE) branches are molded from real pine trees that appear amazingly lifelike, even close up.

The outer branches of a Real Touch™ Christmas tree feature abundant, realistic PE branches, with classic PVC branches tucked deeper into the tree for fullness and depth. Mixing the two types of branches not only improves the visual texture of the tree, it also helps keep realistic-looking Christmas trees within budget.

Real Touch™ high-quality, realistic Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands appear exceptionally lifelike, and our Real Touch™ Elite trees offer additional in-demand features comparable to other well-known artificial tree lines. 

Our Real Touch™ Christmas tree collection features dozens of lifelike artificial Christmas trees in all sizes and styles. Choose from pine, spruce and fir varieties in full, medium and slim profiles.

Explore our wide selection of pre-lit Christmas trees – some with color-changing options that let you choose between white and multicolor LED lights. Or consider an unlit tree and use the savings on new ornaments and trimmings! Potted and flocked trees are also options.

Beyond their natural good looks, our Real Touch™ Elite trees have even more features. Select between white, multicolor and soft color lighting, as well as 10 twinkly settings. Real Touch™ Elite trees also offer the convenience of instant power technology, with power cords pre-connected through the center pole.

In addition, trees in the Elite line are engineered with memory wire. After an initial fluffing and shaping, your tree should hold its shape better in storage, making setup a snap.

When it comes to decorating doors, windows, banisters and mantels, realistic artificial Christmas greenery is especially convenient. It doesn’t dry out, drop needles or shed leaves and looks great all season long – no matter how early you start decorating!

Like our trees, Real Touch™ wreaths and garlands come in a variety of styles and sizes. From lush green Christmas wreaths to frosted wreaths, and from realistic cedar garland to pre-decorated garland, you’ll find prelit and unlit Christmas greens to turn any room into a seasonal showcase.  

After the holidays, you can still enjoy touches of green throughout your home with Northlight’s Real Touch™ botanicals.

Our realistic florals, artificial houseplants and trees use quality materials that imitate the look of natural plants and add vibrancy to any room.

When you’re too busy to remember to water, don’t have a green thumb or just aren’t interested in plant maintenance, high-quality artificial plants bring life to your spaces without the fuss.

While natural-looking artificial trees have a reputation for being expensive, a Christmas tree that’s beautiful and realistic isn’t out of reach. Some realistic-looking Christmas trees may be considered an investment, but it’s important to remember that lifelike Christmas trees are available at many price points.

Considering a less conventional style, such as a tree that is potted, short, slim or unlit, can also help keep your holiday spending under control.

Real Touch™ trees blend realism, style and value – so you can have a really beautiful Christmas tree that realistically fits your budget.
