Sears sold the first artificial Christmas trees for $0.50 and $1.00 in the late 1800s

Artificial trees have become a favored option for many families. 

Overall, an artificial tree requires a lot less maintenance and care than a real tree does. Additionally, the price of an artificial tree may be more expensive than a real one, but in the long run, it turns out to be more affordable. 

Artificial trees may not have quite as long a history as real Christmas trees, but they have been sold in stores for quite a long time.
