Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Woodstock-Towne Lake

Woodstock-Towne Lake, GA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it could still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states. And during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens to ensure shoppers can take home a tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a special guide full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow. Sellers are advised to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

"It is likely that Christmas will have a greater significance for many in 2020 as we seek to offset the disruption of normalcy from COVID-19 with a family-oriented holiday experience," the association wrote in its guide. "However, shopping for a Christmas tree, the iconic centerpiece of the holiday, will be a different experience this year as the risks from COVID-19 must be taken seriously."
