Why we love this deal
Winter might not be everyone’s favorite season, but there are a lot of great things that come with the holidays and the occasional snowy day where everything gets blanketed in a crisp, white covering. Sure, you might need some extra layers to stay warm, but when that first frost hits, everyone gets a little bit of a thrill seeing that snow fall. The only thing more exciting than seeing those blanketed trees weighed down with fresh white powder is when you can get that very same look inside your home. A holiday staple, artificial trees have long been the easy choice to bring a bit of Mother Nature inside your home, and with the Costway Snow-Flocked Christmas Tree, you can get that snow-covered look for a great price.
Walmart is selling the snow-capped look on sale for 40% off during a Flash deal, and the bestseller, down from $159 and now available for only $96, is sure to go quickly, especially with the holiday season coming up quickly.

Why do shoppers love it?
Standing 7.5 feet tall and 4.2 inches wide, this tree is perfect when you want something that takes up a bit of space but doesn’t completely overwhelm a room. With a four-pronged metal base measuring 20 inches wide, you have a great support system to keep it stable and sturdy no matter how long it’s up, and because it’s not pre-lit, the decorating opportunities, if you’re using it for the holidays, are truly endless. You have a completely clean slate to be creative with.
The tree branches have 1010 branch tips, which are made from thin, compressed strips of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that are cut into flat rectangles and then twisted onto wire to mimic the look of pine needles. Although texturally you can tell that it’s not a real tree upon feel, from a far, it gives the look of a full, fluffed traditional tree pulled straight from the outdoors. These branches are then covered with the fake snow, or flocking, which traditionally is made from finely shredded cellulose fibers, cotton, or wood pulp, that are combined with synthetic glue or adhesive and flame-retardant chemicals to give it that white, frosty look. And speaking of flame-retardant, you don’t have to worry. PVC is fire, fade, and allergy-resistant, ensuring lots of long-lasting but safe use that’s made to keep you protected.
The tree comes disassembled into four sections, which is ideal for storage purposes. You get those four pieces, plus the foldable metal stand, with your order. For assembly purposes, the pieces use an advanced hinged mechanism that allows the branches to drop automatically for easy setup. All you need to do after is fluff and spruce the branches a bit to get the full, natural look.

The only downside to this tree is that it isn’t pre-lit, so if that’s something you want, another product might be better. That said, shoppers are really impressed with the overall look and quality of this one. It’s very lifelike and looks like it has real snow. There is some flaking when you’re putting it up but it’s very minimal. “It’s so tall and elegant looking,” one shopper said. “I love the ease of assembly,” another shopper said. “Fluffing the branches is time consuming but well worth the time.”
