The Best Faux Garlands to Deck the Halls With for Years to Come

"Fake greenery has come a long way from its plastic predecessors. Now made with high-quality faux florals and durable wire frames, some of our favorites are nearly identical to the real thing. These pieces are sure to help you deck the halls for many years to come, both indoors and out. Ahead, we're highlighting the 10 best faux garlands for adorning your fireplace mantels, bannisters, front porches, and everywhere in between."

"Best Overall Faux Garland For a faux greenery garland that is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, this real-touch pine option is for you. This best-seller from Afloral is eight feet long and is packed with double the volume of other fake garlands. The branches and needles are intentionally irregular to give a more natural appearance, while the wired base makes for easy installation and additional structure."

High-quality faux garlands replicate the appearance and often the feel of real evergreen without sticky sap or daily needle cleanup. Modern garlands use lifelike faux florals and durable wire frames to achieve realistic volume, irregular branches, and structural support. Styles span sophisticated metallic palettes to rustic cottage looks and suit mantels, bannisters, porches, and other spaces. Some pieces are specifically built for outdoor durability and come pre-lit with warm white LEDs spaced through long lengths. Examples include an eight-foot Afloral real-touch pine with double volume and a wired base, and a 10-foot Balsam Hill cedar-style, pre-lit outdoor option.
