The pre-lit LED beauty has taken social media by storm, with TikTok videos of it reaching millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes.
With different sizes available, including 7.5ft and 9ft, this imposing piece is likely to delight those who are already counting down the days until Christmas.
One TikTok user, @karenpacelli, has a clip of the famous tree that has been viewed a staggering six million times and liked over 300,000 times.
The comments beneath the video are all in awe of the item, sharing their excitement at how wonderful it looks in a room.
One comment reads: “I can only imagine how beautiful the xmas decor in ur house looks like”.
A similarly overjoyed comment said: “omg this christmas tree i want!!!!!”
On Facebook, Tara Johnson posted: “The most beautiful tree we’ve ever had!
“The Grand Duchess Twinkling Balsam Fir from Home Depot.
“I cannot believe we found one!
“Now I just need to pick a theme. What a blessing!”
Some shoppers are shocked by the cost of this balsam tree.
One unsatisfied TikTok user refuses to pay the extortionate $1k price tag for the decoration.
They said: “I refuse to spend $998 on it”.
“I may drive to buffalo and buy it for $349”.
CHRISTMAS ROLL OUT BEGINS
Home Depot aren’t the only ones drawing anticipation from Americans, with several other brands starting their Christmas roll out.
Dunkin’s festive menu has just released, with several fan favorite items returning.
The Holiday Cookie Signature Latte is available hot or iced and the rich espresso blended with whole milk is flavored with buttery cookie and toasted almond.
Cookie Butter Donuts and Peppermint Mocha Signature Latte will all be making a return to shops.
Their menu released on November 1.

Elsewhere, Sam’s Club has started its holiday push, but has drawn criticism for pushing the season too early.
The chain got ahead of the competition, with shoppers spotting Christmas preparations as early as September.
Customers shared their thoughts in a Facebook thread after one user wrote that Sam’s Club “already” has Christmas items on display.
“Halloween in July, Christmas in August,” one shopper commented.
“It’s way too early for that stuff!” another said, in part.
“Push that season,” a third wrote.
More retailers are expected to start their push for the season soon.
