Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Venice-Mar Vista

Many local Christmas tree farms are taking precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure you and yours have a jolly holiday.

Venice-Mar Vista, CA — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it could still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.. And despite these unprecedented times, the tradition will continue this holiday season. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens to ensure buyers can take home a tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

Tree lot operators and choose-and-cut farms "must protect the health and safety of their employees, provide customers with the confidence they need so they can enjoy selecting a tree without risk and demonstrate to state and local officials they are conducting business responsibly," the the National Christmas Tree Association said on its website this year.
