Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 In The Easton Area

Easton, MA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s well-loved holiday traditions, it could still be possible to hunt for the ideal Christmas tree this year — and most importantly, do it safely.

Did you know that at least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states? During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure patrons can take home their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a special guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms.

"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 on its website. "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."
