Setting up an artificial Christmas tree every year can be daunting, especially for those who find attaching parts, string lights, and shape branches challenging. With a Balsam Hill Flip Tree, the setup process becomes nearly effortless, allowing you to skip the hassle and dive straight into the joy of decorating and celebrating with your loved ones.
Flip Trees With Easy Plug Technology
All pre-lit Balsam Hill Flip Trees come with our patented Easy Plug technology for even quicker assembly. The light strings are pre-connected throughout the trunk, so lighting your tree only requires a single plug. This way, you don’t have to connect several light strands from end to end.
How Do You Set up a Balsam Hill Flip Tree?
Assemble Your Tree
Follow the steps below to achieve a picture-perfect display:
Tips for Seamless Assembly
- Clear the flip path by pushing the branches to the left or right of the tree trunk. This will prevent limbs from catching on the pole.
- If your assembled tree looks crooked, check if the floor is level and all four wheels are on an even surface. Make sure there is no limb caught between the flip pole and the tree pole.
- If your pre-lit tree doesn’t light up, check our Troubleshooting Guide to help fix potential issues.
How To Shape the Branches
Balsam Hill trees are compressed for shipping and require shaping to achieve a full look. Follow the steps below or read our guide to shaping your tree for more detailed instructions.

How Does a Folding Christmas Tree Differ From a Flip Christmas Tree?
A foldable Christmas tree has branches that fold up against its central trunk for streamlined storage and typically requires manual adjustment during setup. Balsam Hill’s Flip Tree consists of two main sections, with the tree base flipping into place, simplifying the setup process. While both designs aim to ease setup and storage, they differ in their mechanisms, with the Flip Tree focusing on reducing assembly steps and the folding tree emphasizing compact storage.
How Does the Setup Process of Balsam Hill’s Flip Tree Compare to Christmas Trees With Automatic Setup?
Balsam Hill’s Flip Tree simplifies setup by allowing users to manually flip the tree into place with two main sections. In contrast, an automatic Christmas tree may use motors to deploy branches or lights without manual intervention. While the Flip Tree emphasizes easy assembly, automatic trees offer a more hands-free approach.
How Does a Retractable Christmas Tree Compare to a Flip Tree?
Much like a telescope, a retractable Christmas tree is designed to expand and retract, making setup and storage more streamlined. Balsam Hill’s Flip Tree consists of two main sections, with the tree base flipping into place for setup. While both offer convenience, the retractable tree emphasizes a seamless transition between storage and full display, while the Flip Tree focuses on easy assembly with fewer steps.
Is It Easier To Set up a Collapsible Christmas Tree or a Balsam Hill Flip Tree?
Both tree designs are crafted for user convenience but address different pain points. The Balsam Hill Flip Tree is designed to reduce the number of assembly steps, making the setup process faster and more straightforward. Users simply flip the main tree section into place. With their vertical compression mechanism, collapsible trees might require more fluffing and arranging of branches after setup, but they offer the advantage of a swift breakdown and compact storage.
What Is the Easiest Christmas Tree To Set Up?
Several Christmas trees are designed for easy setup, including Balsam Hill’s Flip Tree, which simplifies assembly with its flipping mechanism, retractable trees that expand and retract for quick setup, hinged branch trees with foldable branches, and pop-up Christmas trees that spring into shape. Pre-lit trees with attached lights further ease the setup process by eliminating the need to string lights. The ideal choice depends on individual preferences, space, and budget.
