Review Details
Reviewed by: JMJosh Matz

The Holiday Time Lawndale Spruce is unabashedly what it is: a whimsical, grinch-style tree with a curved silhouette and bright light green needles. This isn't a tree that's trying to look realistic or compete on traditional metrics like fullness or PE percentage. It's a character piece for folks who want something playful and different, and at its frequently discounted price point, it delivers exactly what it promises without pretense.

What we like
  • Unique curved silhouette creates instant whimsical character
  • Distinctive light green color nails the Grinch aesthetic
  • SureBright lighting keeps the whole strand lit even if bulbs fail
  • Strong customer satisfaction (4.6/5 stars, all written reviews 4-5 stars)
  • Budget-friendly with frequent discounts
Where it could improve
  • All-PVC construction with zero realistic needles
  • Moderate fullness (714 tips at 6ft) leaves visible gaps
  • Light coverage is sparse - only 250 LEDs across the tree
  • The flopping curved top is part of the design, not a bug
  • Won't suit traditional or realistic decorating styles

Design & Aesthetic

Let's address the elephant—or rather, the Grinch—in the room: this tree is bright light green with a deliberately curved top that bends over. That's the whole point. If you're looking for a traditional evergreen or a realistic spruce, keep scrolling. This is for people who want a whimsical holiday focal point that channels storybook charm.

The color is genuinely distinctive—not the forest or sage green you see on most artificial trees, but a brighter, more saturated green that reads as intentionally playful. The curved silhouette adds character, though be aware that "curved" means the top section bends over by design. Multiple customers note it as a feature, not a flaw, and one reviewer measured their tree at 6'3" from the curved tip to floor.

Construction & Lighting

This is basic, budget-friendly construction throughout. The 714 branch tips at 6ft give you moderate fullness—enough to hold ornaments and fill space, but you'll see gaps and the trunk will be visible. It's all traditional PVC needles with the standard hinged branch assembly that's been the industry baseline for years.

The 250 warm white LED lights use Holiday Time's "SureBright" feature, which keeps the strand lit even if individual bulbs burn out. The catch: 250 lights across a 6ft tree is sparse coverage. One reviewer noted only about a third of branches have lights. If you want more glow, plan on adding a string or two. The base is a flat square metal stand rather than the typical round tripod—no complaints about stability in customer reviews.

Real-World Performance

Customer reception has been remarkably positive for what this tree is. With 4.6 out of 5 stars across 157 ratings and every written review sitting at 4-5 stars, people who buy this tree seem genuinely happy with it. Multiple reviewers specifically call out the Grinch aesthetic as a reason they purchased it.

Setup is straightforward—three sections that slide together with hinged branches. The weight (14 lbs) and flat square base provide adequate stability. The tree comes with flame-retardant materials and is rated for indoor use only, standard for this category. One reviewer noted the base is "super heavy," which they viewed as a plus for preventing tip-overs.

Value & Who It's For

This tree typically sees significant discounts from its $119 MSRP, often dropping into the $70-80 range. At those prices, you're getting exactly what you're paying for: a fun, distinctive holiday decoration that embraces its whimsical nature rather than apologizing for it.

This tree is for you if: You want a Grinch or storybook aesthetic, you're decorating a smaller space or using this as a second/accent tree, you prioritize character over realism, and you're okay with adding extra lights if you want more coverage.

Skip this tree if: You want a realistic or traditional appearance, you need a full tree that hides its trunk, you expect dense pre-lit coverage out of the box, or you're looking for high PE percentage and premium construction. This is a character tree, not a workhorse.
