The best fiber optic tabletop Christmas tree

If you're looking for a colorful and nontraditional tree, the Holiday Time Fiber Optic Christmas Tree is the perfect addition to your holiday decor.

The Holiday Time Fiber Optic Christmas Tree is definitely not a realistic tree, so if you want something that looks like it came from the tree farm, this isn't for you. But if you prefer an eye-catching tree that is so colorful you won't even need to add ornaments, you'll love this riot-of-color tree. And if you have children, this is likely going to be their very favorite holiday decoration. In fact, since it's such a compact size, you might even want to go ahead and set it up in their bedroom.

When the tree is unplugged, it's a white, 32-inch tree in a silvery base. It's when the tree is plugged in — either to an electrical outlet or a USB plug — that the magic starts. Each of the 83 branches has fiber optic lights that slowly dance through a rainbow of colors. While you can certainly add ornaments, a tree this colorful can easily stand on its own.

At 32 inches high, the tree is small enough to fit on a counter, table, or hutch, or even liven up your work cubicle. It does need to be close to a power source, however.

Pros: Very colorful and fun with ever-changing pre-strung fiber optic lights

Cons: Not at all realistic, not as full as some faux trees
