"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Live in a tiny apartment? Same. I know the struggle of finding pint-sized furniture and decor to fit into my shoebox-sized space all too well (*cue Taylor Swift's 10-minute version*). And while it may feel impossible to find a Christmas tree small enough to fit your pad this time of year, I promise you there are tons of options out there—don't let any Scrooge tell you otherwise!

You heard it here first: the size of the Christmas tree does not reflect the amount of holiday cheer it can bring. In fact, when it comes to sparking joy, I think small Christmas trees do it best. (Ever heard the phrase, "The best things come in small packages?" That person was def talking about holiday decor.) Aside from being undeniably cute, compact Christmas trees can also fit almost anywhere, so there's actually no excuse not to get one.

Whether you have a small corner or a bit of tabletop space to spare, I found 12 adorably small Christmas trees that will make your space feel homey and bright this holiday season. (And FYI, some even come with lights and ornaments!) From traditional snow-flocked options to Barbie-inspired evergreens, keep reading to find the perfect tiny tree for you and your lil home sweet home.

Ardrie 3-Ft White Fir Artificial Christmas Tree

Even if you don't live in a snowy area, you can create a mini winter wonderland in your home with this adorably petite flocked tree. At three feet tall, it's perfect for teeny apartments—or you could get two for some festive entryway decor!

No, you can't use the excuse of "not having enough space" as a reason to skip decorating for Christmas. Why? Well, this itty bitty 2.5-foot tree can fit literally anywhere. Place it on top of your kitchen table, TV stand, or even your dresser to spark holiday cheer at home. It arrives fully decorated, with a star, ornaments, and a golden base; plus, it's covered with fiber-optic lights that dance and change colors! It doesn't get much easier than this.

4-Ft Pre-Lit Flocked Douglas Fir Artificial Christmas Tree

Short on space but still want a wow-worthy tree? Target has got you covered. While it's no six-foot behemoth, this frosted Christmas tree rivals the big guys with its full, robust branches. And at four feet tall, it's dainty enough to fit in smaller areas. It comes pre-lit so it glistens out of the box, but go ahead and add some ornaments to make it really shine.

Pre-Lit Artificial Mini Christmas Tree

This pint-sized cutie could pass for a live fir, it looks *that* realistic. Housed in a sturdy red burlap base, you can place this beauty just about anywhere in your humble abode. It also makes for a darling holiday gift, especially for the people in your life who already have everything.

24-Inch Tinsel Mini Artificial Christmas Tree

Listen, traditional green trees don't always match a carefully curated aesthetic. If you're a minimalist who wants something that will blend right in with your apartment decor, this champagne-gold tinsel tree will be right up your alley. Place it on your end table—or literally anywhere else—for a touch of holiday cheer. At $10, you really can't beat the price.

Before you write off this five-foot tree as too big, keep reading. I promise it can fit in the most cramped of corners—the skinny pencil design takes up minimal space but delivers a big impact, I swear! And thanks to its shiny tinsel, it sparkles brighter than other Christmas trees on our list. The best part though? It comes with all the decorations you could dream of: LED lights, 25 ball ornaments, and a 3D star. Oh, and you can choose from a variety of colors!

Small Prelit Gnome Christmas Tree

Elf on the Shelf is so last year...how about a gnome in your home? You can't deny that this is the most adorbs mini tree you've ever seen. Standing less than two feet tall, he (yes, he's a he to me) he's as cute as he is practical. Plus, he can be used as more than just your standard tree—I think he'd be the cutest holiday table centerpiece, too.

4-Ft Pink Artificial Christmas Tree

Calling all the Barbie girls—this miniature hot pink tree was made for you. The vibrant color immediately sparks joy and will enliven your apartment. The included LED lights make set up a breeze, and frankly, it's all the tree really needs. But if you want some decorating tips, here's my advice: Place mini designer shopping bags—like Dior, Chanel, and YSL—under it for a lavish touch.

Artificial Christmas Tree with 150 Lights

I love real Christmas trees as much as the next person, but they just don't work in small spaces. This pick is about as realistic as it gets, and you won't have to worry about cleaning up stray pine needles months after the holidays (been there, never doing that again). At six feet tall, it's the largest option on our list, but the slender design allows it to fit in narrow areas with ease—yes, even studio apartments.

24-Inch Metal Ornament Display Tree

If you prefer to keep your decorations sweet and simple, allow me to introduce you to this two-foot wrought iron tree.

It slowly rotates so each ornament gets its moment in the spotlight.
