Mr. Christmas 4 ft. Tinsel Tree vs Bringstar 4ft Pre-Lit White Artificial Christmas Tree with 50 String Lights, Mini Tinsel Tree

Buy the Mr. Christmas if you want a self-contained retro showpiece: the rotating color wheel base lights the tinsel without any stringing, and the 30 ornaments come with it. Buy the Bringstar if you want a plain white tinsel tree you decorate yourself and prefer warm white light over rotating color. The Mr. Christmas is the more distinctive object and the easier setup; the Bringstar is the simpler, more conventional tree, and its 4.1 rating from 662 buyers suggests mostly satisfied owners with some complaints. Neither is a heirloom: both are plastic tinsel built for a few seasons of indoor display.

• Choose the Mr. Christmas if you want the 1950s aluminum-tree look with rotating colored light and ornaments included, plug-and-play.
• Choose the Bringstar if you want a white tinsel tree you can light and decorate your own way, in warm white.
