Balsam Hill, the premium retailer of highly realistic artificial Christmas trees and seasonal home décor, is thrilled to announce today that four of its illuminated accent trees have been selected for Oprah’s Favorite Things 2026, the highly anticipated annual holiday gift guide. The full list will be featured in Oprah Daily’s special print 2026 Holiday Edition, on newsstands nationwide on November 17.

The selected products include Balsam Hill’s 4-foot and 7-foot Lit Winter Birch LED Trees and 5-foot and 6-foot Black Fairy Light Twig Trees. Inspired by the natural beauty of winter birch trees, the Lit Winter Birch LED Trees feature organic, sculptural branches illuminated with warm white LED fairy lights. Available in multiple heights, they bring an enchanting woodland-inspired touch to entryways, living spaces, and covered outdoor areas. Displayed individually or grouped together, the trees create a welcoming winter display with a soft, ambient glow.

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, “I liked these so much, I brought them home last Thanksgiving and put them in my dining room. By Christmas they’d moved into my breakfast room, and now, honestly, they just stay up all year. This is one of my favorite things in my whole house.”

“We’re incredibly honored to have four of our trees recognized as part of Oprah’s Favorite Things this year,” said Mac Harman, founder and CEO of Balsam Hill. “At Balsam Hill, we believe the details of holiday decorating help create the moments and traditions people look forward to year after year. These trees offer a beautiful way to bring warmth, ambiance, and a little extra magic into the home, and we’re delighted to see them included in this year’s holiday gift guide.”

Also available today is a very special holiday episode of The Oprah Podcast which features Oprah surprising an unsuspecting audience full of caregivers with ‘Oprah’s Favorite Things.’ This episode, decorated with Balsam Hill trees and lit décor, also includes a live holiday performance from Grammy-winning artist Jacob Collier. The Oprah’s Favorite Things podcast episode is available on Prime Video, FireTV Channels, Oprah’s YouTube Channel, Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you enjoy podcasts. Customers can also watch and shop the episode on Amazon Live, or the Amazon Live FAST channel, as well as through Prime Video’s ‘Shop the Show’, where customers can seamlessly shop the featured products.
