There's always one
I hope you had a hunch and remembered they did one at some point and not just went to OcUK in a glimmer of hope OP I think we have one from Homebase or something, the issue with artificial ones is lots of them aren't very 'full' like a real one.
Not everyone was lucky enough to get the My First Arson Kit when they were a kid you know

B&Q had a good selection a few years ago when I bought mine, although this was a 3ft artificial.

PUT THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ON YOUR WIFE AND DECORATE HER LIKE A TREE AND MAKE HER SIT IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM AND INSIST SHE TURNS THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF IN RANDOM PATTERNS OR AT PRE-DETERMINED INTERVALS AS PER YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
Looking for a small tree at the moment, 3ft and under.
Our old tree was damaged in a house fire. We're in temporary accommodation at the moment, but hoping to move back into our house the week before Christmas. We can't be bothered decorating up the temp home, but we're looking to get something small to hold us over till next year.
Looking for an all in 1 package with decorations and lights. Seen a few on the rainforest, but all the 1's I like are battery operated.

Take your pick the is loads of them.
Just google mains powers xmas trees.
If you want a £25 xmas tree then you'll get what you pay for. We have had a 5 foot £25 xmas tree for quite a few years. Its a bit dog eared now. I thought I might spend a bit of money this year and get an expensive, but far from their most expensive, John Lewis tree.
It looks like a proper tree, my old one, when compaired, looks like something that could be pulled off the side of the road 2 weeks after xmas is over.
You get what you pay for. I went for an irregular type so it looks very real.

I am not a fan of real trees. Like the smell and the look but I hate the mess, paranoia of fire, any stray tree sap depending on how freshly cut it is and the risk of it withering into sticks on a stand. Tree sap is a rare thing but getting it on carpet once is enough to put you off for life.
OFC i let the missus handle the christmas tree, lights, decorating. I will handle the outside lights and the mulled wine/cider.

All you really need are decorations, a saw, and rope. The trees are free. They're everywhere. Go outside and cut one down. Make sure nobody sees you. Problem solved.
The rope is to tie the tree to the roof of your car when you make your getaway.
^That was obviously a joke. I do not condone any non-law-abiding behavior!
Also, large cactuses make great Xmas trees and are good for a laugh when you have company
My family did this for 15 years.
