Have you ever left the house only to realize you forgot to unplug the Christmas lights? Well, Amazon is here to ease your holiday worries—one technologically-enabled device at a time.

Introducing the Mr. Christmas 7-foot Douglas fir, which is the first-ever Alexa compatible smart tree. The faux evergreen has multiple voice functionalities, which means you can control it from the comfort of your own couch. “Alexa, cue the mood lighting.”

The Christmas tree has a user-friendly design, making it ideal for people who hate assembly. Not only does it have pre-wired pole-to-pole connections, but the branches can also be easily arranged to ensure a full appearance. Oh, they’re also flame retardant.

The holiday staple has numerous voice-activated lighting options—like red, green, yellow, blue, purple, cyan, white, multi-color, multi-fade, multi-twinkle, multi-sparkle, blue-sparkle and red-sparkle.

So, why does someone need to pair their Amazon device with their Christmas tree? Well, it completely eliminates the need for a remote. (If you regularly misplace things, then you probably relate.)

Alexa compatibility also means that you can schedule the lights to turn on/off at the same time each day. Hallelujah!

The Mr. Christmas Tree is now available for purchase on Amazon.

Come to mama.
