Although many look forward to the smell of pine all year long, traditional Christmas trees aren’t for everyone.

It might be because the bulky trees won’t fit into your small space, maybe a wintry plant seems at odds with your warmer climate, or perhaps you’re just looking for a more stylish way to decorate for the holidays.

Whatever your reasoning, a cactus tree might be the solution to your problem.

An artificial, pre-lit Christmas tree shaped like a cactus is available for purchase on Amazon

The cactus, which is designed by BestComfort, has all the fun of a traditional Christmas tree, as it’s made with built-in LED lights, and comes with red and gold ornaments and a gold bow. 

But the unique shape gives it a modern twist, setting a different mood for holiday decor.

The tree is available in three sizes — 5, 6, and 7 feet — all of which are equitable to the size of a typical Christmas tree.

Plus, the tree is artificial, so it can be reused for years to come.

The 5-foot tree costs $79.99, while the 7-foot option starts at $109.99. 

If you aren't a fan of the cactus tree, it's not your only alternative to traditional Christmas decor

For instance, there are a variety of miniature succulent Christmas trees available on Etsy.

The succulent trees are made up of a variety of small succulents that are then arranged in the shape of a tree. Many are topped with a star, like this one from Terracotta Corner FL.

If you want something larger, a palm Christmas tree might be right for you.

Target sells a 6-foot, artificial palm tree that brings beach vibes to holiday celebrations. 

Like the cactus tree, the palm tree is pre-lit, so it's simple to make your home festive for the Christmas season. 

Or maybe you want a traditional Christmas tree, but don't have room for it or just don't want to spend the energy decorating an entire tree.

You can buy the Hammacher Schlemmer "Against The Wall Christmas Tree," as it's half the size of a normal Christmas tree.

At first glance, the tree looks like a full Christmas tree, but in reality, it's only a half-circle. 

The 6.5-foot artificial tree can be bought with white or multicolored lights.

It's designed to lean against a wall, so you can have the look and feel of a grand Christmas tree with half the work.
