Where Can I Buy a Pre-Lit Christmas Tree in Australia in 2026?
Where to buy a pre-lit Christmas tree in Australia in 2026: what Myer, BIG W, Spotlight and Target offer on range, delivery, returns and rewards, how to compare trees fairly, and going through ShopBack before you check out.
Short answer. In Australia in 2026, the easiest places to buy a pre-lit Christmas tree online are Myer, BIG W, Spotlight and Target Australia, then check out through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Myer's Christmas tree range listed 65 trees at the time of writing, with a dedicated pre-lit filter, and Myer offers free delivery on eligible orders over $99. Spotlight groups pre-lit and fibre optic trees in their own section. Compare height, light count and delivery, then open ShopBack, tap the store and check out.
ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back when you shop online at thousands of stores, including Myer, BIG W, Spotlight and Target. You open the store from ShopBack, shop as normal, and part of what you spend comes back to your ShopBack account as cash you can withdraw. New members can join free at shopback.com.au/signup.

Where can I buy a pre-lit Christmas tree in Australia?
You can buy a pre-lit Christmas tree in Australia from department stores, discount department stores and homewares and craft chains, both online and in store. The four stores below cover most budgets and sizes, and each is strongest on something different.
| Store | What stands out for pre-lit trees | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Myer | 65 trees in its Christmas tree range, a Pre-Lit filter, and its own Myer Giftorium trees alongside brands such as Christabelle and Jingle Jollys | Mostly delivery only; free delivery on eligible orders over $99 |
| BIG W | A seasonal Christmas range online and in store; earns Everyday Rewards points | Home delivery, Click and Collect or in store |
| Spotlight | A Pre-Lit and Fibre Optic section, plus pop up and frosted trees from brands such as Jolly and Joy, Christabelle and Santaco | Click and Collect or home delivery; free delivery over $120 |
| Target Australia | A seasonal Christmas range; OnePass members get free delivery on eligible items | Delivery, Click and Collect or in store |
Sources: Myer, Spotlight, OnePass and Everyday Rewards sites, at the time of writing. Ranges change through the season and differ by store and postcode.
A simple routine that works for most households:
- Measure first. Myer suggests measuring your ceiling height and floor space, leaving room for a topper.
- Shortlist two or three trees of the same height from different stores.
- Compare light count and tips, which most listings put in the product name.
- Add delivery and check the returns policy. A tree is bulky, so delivery and returns matter more than for small decorations.
- Before you pay, open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Steps 2 to 4 find the best tree for the money. Step 5 lowers what you actually end up paying for it.
Pre-lit Christmas trees in Australia: what you are actually paying for
A pre-lit tree is an artificial tree with the lights already fixed to the branches. Myer describes it as a tree that "comes with lights already attached and evenly spaced", so you assemble it, switch it on and start decorating. A traditional tree lets you choose and arrange your own lights.
Listings in Australia usually describe a pre-lit tree with three numbers, and they are the fairest way to compare one tree against another:
- Height. Usually given in centimetres (180cm, 210cm, 240cm) or feet (6ft, 7ft). Myer splits its range into under 6ft and over 6ft trees.
- Number of lights. Often shown as a number followed by L. For example, Myer lists a Fraser Fir 210cm tree with 400 lights and 2,389 tips, and a Deluxe Reno 210cm tree with 300 lights and 951 tips.
- Number of tips. The branch tips that make up the tree's fullness. More tips usually means a fuller, more realistic tree.
Two trees of the same height can look very different. Using the Myer examples above, the Fraser Fir has roughly 2.5 times as many tips as the Deluxe Reno at the same 210cm height, so the two are not like-for-like even before you look at price.
Types of pre-lit tree you will see:
- Warm white LED trees. The classic look, and the most common style.
- Multi-function LED trees. Lights that can switch between colours or modes. Christabelle trees at Myer are listed with multi-function LED lights.
- Fibre optic trees. Light carried through fibres to the branch tips. Spotlight groups these with its pre-lit trees.
- Pop up trees. Trees that fold out in one piece, such as Myer Giftorium's Aurora pre-lit pop up trees and Spotlight's Jolly and Joy pop up pre-lit tree.
- Flocked or frosted trees. Branches with a snow-like coating. Myer lists pre-lit flocked trees, and Spotlight has a frosted tree section.
- Tabletop trees. Small pre-lit trees for apartments and desks. Myer says compact under 6ft trees and tabletop trees suit apartments and tight corners.
Before you buy, check the tree is meant for indoor use and comes with a plug that suits Australian power points. If you plan to keep the tree for years, a storage bag helps: Myer suggests disassembling the tree, compressing the branches and packing it in a dedicated tree storage bag.
Pre-lit Christmas tree best deals in Australia in 2026: where the savings usually come from
The best pre-lit tree deals in Australia in 2026 usually come from a few places:
- Seasonal sales. Christmas ranges often see price drops during the late November sales and again in post Christmas clearance. Sale timing changes each year, so check each store's site closer to the date.
- Free delivery thresholds. A tree on its own can be close to a free delivery line. According to the stores at the time of writing, Myer offers free delivery on eligible orders over $99 and Spotlight on orders over $120.
- Memberships you already pay for. OnePass members get free delivery on eligible items at Target, and Everyday Rewards members collect points at BIG W.
- Price promises. Spotlight advertises a 10% Price Beat Guarantee, with conditions, according to Spotlight at the time of writing.
- Going through ShopBack before you pay. This lowers the effective price of eligible online orders, as explained below.
Compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price. A tree that looks a little dearer at one store can work out cheaper once delivery and the cash ShopBack returns are counted. The worked example further down shows how.
Big W vs Spotlight: pre-lit Christmas tree price comparison for 2026
BIG W and Spotlight both sell artificial Christmas trees; the better pick depends on which perks you will use and which style you want. Shelf prices change week to week through the season, so there is no fixed winner on price. Compare the same height and light count on the day you buy.
| BIG W | Spotlight | |
|---|---|---|
| Christmas trees | Seasonal Christmas range online and in store | Christmas tree range with Pre-Lit and Fibre Optic, Pop Up, Frosted and Tabletop sections |
| Rewards | Everyday Rewards: at least 1 point per dollar on eligible spend; 2,000 points can become $10 off a future shop | Spotlight's own VIP membership |
| Delivery | Home delivery or Click and Collect | Free delivery over $120; Click and Collect |
| Price promise | Check BIG W's current policies | 10% Price Beat Guarantee, conditions apply |
| ShopBack page | ShopBack BIG W | ShopBack Spotlight |
Sources: Everyday Rewards and Spotlight sites, at the time of writing.
BIG W in detail. BIG W is part of the Everyday Rewards programme. According to Everyday Rewards, you collect at least 1 point for every dollar on eligible spend, and every 2,000 points can become $10 off a future shop or 1,000 Qantas points. BIG W's 90 day change of mind returns policy does not apply to Marketplace products, which are sold and shipped by other sellers, so check who sells a tree before you order it.
Spotlight in detail. Spotlight's Christmas tree range online had 40 trees at the time of writing, from tabletop sizes up to tall trees, with brands such as Jolly and Joy, Christabelle and Santaco. Its pre-lit and fibre optic trees sit in their own section, and many trees can be picked up through Click and Collect.
Big W, Spotlight and Target Australia: buying a pre-lit tree at each
BIG W, Spotlight and Target Australia all sell Christmas trees in store and online, and each has its own perks. BIG W suits Everyday Rewards members, Spotlight suits shoppers who want a dedicated pre-lit and fibre optic section, and Target suits OnePass members.
Target Australia and OnePass. Target is part of OnePass, the paid membership shared with Kmart, Bunnings and Officeworks. According to OnePass at the time of writing:
- Membership costs $4 a month, or $40 a year on the annual plan, after a 30 day free trial.
- Members get free delivery on eligible items or orders.
- Members get 365 day change of mind returns at Kmart, Target, Officeworks and Priceline.
- Members earn 5x Flybuys points for every $1 spent in store and with Click and Collect at Kmart, Target, Bunnings Warehouse and Officeworks.
For a bulky tree, free delivery and a long returns window are the two perks that matter most. If you would not otherwise use OnePass, compare its cost with the delivery fee on your tree.
Myer. Myer has one of the widest online ranges of pre-lit trees. At the time of writing, Myer's Christmas tree range listed 65 trees, with filters for Pre-Lit, Over 6ft and Under 6ft. Its own Myer Giftorium trees include pre-lit Fraser Fir, Deluxe Reno, Glistening Pine and Arrow Pine Flocked trees and Aurora pre-lit pop up trees, and the range also includes Christabelle and Jingle Jollys trees. Myer says most Christmas trees are delivery only, and that it offers free delivery on eligible orders over $99. Some trees are sold through Myer Marketplace by other brands, so check the seller and delivery details on the product page.
How to work out what a pre-lit tree really costs
Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. That is the number to compare across stores.
Here is a worked example with illustrative prices (not real shelf prices):
| Store A | Store B | |
|---|---|---|
| Tree price, same height and light count | $300 | $295 |
| Delivery | Free | $15 |
| You pay | $300 | $310 |
In this illustrative example, Store B has the lower sticker price, but Store A works out $10 cheaper once delivery is counted. Going through ShopBack before you pay then lowers the effective price at the rate shown on the store's ShopBack page. Check the live rate on each store's ShopBack page before you buy, because it varies by store and changes over time.
How ShopBack lowers the price of your Christmas tree
ShopBack lowers the effective price of your tree order after you pay. For a tree, the routine is simple: open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and adds Cashback to the same order. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it confirms, you can withdraw it to your bank account, subject to ShopBack's withdrawal terms.
How to do it, step by step:
- Open ShopBack Australia (app or website) and search for the store: Myer, BIG W or Spotlight.
- Check the rate shown on that page.
- Tap through to the store, add the tree to your cart and check out.
- Your Cashback shows in your ShopBack account as pending, then confirms later.
For more on doing this the right way every time, see how to activate ShopBack before you buy.
Promo codes, rewards and ShopBack together
Here is how sale prices, codes and rewards fit with going through ShopBack:
- Promo codes. No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay.
- Rewards points. Collecting points with Everyday Rewards, Flybuys or a store's own programme is set by that programme.
- Card offers. Any bank or card offer is set by your card provider, and whether it applies to a given order is up to its terms.
Other places to buy a pre-lit Christmas tree in Australia
Besides Myer, BIG W, Spotlight and Target, pre-lit trees are also sold in Australia by Kmart, Bunnings, Amazon Australia and specialist Christmas shops, among others. Department and discount stores suit most budgets, while specialist shops often carry taller and more realistic trees.
