Albany, CA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most beloved holiday traditions in 2020, it might still be possible to hunt for the right Christmas tree — and do it safely.

And despite these unprecedented times, the tree market is still up and running in 2020. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as coronavirus cases rise to ensure shoppers can select their favorite tree with minimal health and safety risk.
