If you’re in need of some extra holiday cheer this year, you’re not alone. Approximately 20 million Christmas trees are sold annually, according to the Associated Press, and that number is expected to rise this year.

Due to the pandemic, many people are trading in their artificial trees for a fresh-cut version, as a way to make fun family memories or just because they have plenty of time to water them. When you’re all-in on buying a real Christmas tree, you don’t have to head out to a tree farm and chop one down yourself.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates looked at national retailers that sell live Christmas trees standing at least 4 feet tall. Using each retailer’s website, information was gathered regarding tree type, height options and regular non-sale prices. After collecting these details, the overall average price of a Christmas tree from each retailer was calculated. Do note, these rates apply to El Segundo, Calif., as prices are regional.
