Balsam Hill is the premier provider of high-quality, realistic artificial Christmas trees and holiday decor. Founded by Mac Harman, the company was born out of the need to create a festive atmosphere for families who have allergies to live trees, showcasing a commitment to developing the most luxurious and lifelike Christmas trees available in the market. With a focus on craftsmanship, Balsam Hill’s designers utilize actual tree cuttings and field research to ensure their products closely mimic nature in appearance and feel.
The brand has gained significant recognition, with their trees frequently used in set designs for popular television shows and prominent holiday exhibits, including Macy's Santaland in New York City. Their flagship tree, the BH Balsam Fir, was even honored as the 'best overall' artificial Christmas tree by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. Balsam Hill's commitment to quality is evident through their innovative designs, such as the True Needle branches, which resemble real evergreen needles, and their advanced lighting options, including Color+Clear technology that allows users to switch between clear and multicolored lights with the touch of a button.
Balsam Hill operates primarily online, offering a wide selection of products exclusively through their website. For those interested in experiencing their trees firsthand, a branch sample kit can be ordered to preview different styles. The company has built a devoted customer base who appreciate the beautiful and realistic appearance of their trees, which remain pristine throughout the holiday season - free from sappy residues and needle cleanup. With an emphasis on creating a magical Christmas experience, Balsam Hill continues to enrich holiday traditions for families across the globe.
