Where To Find A Christmas Tree In 2020 Near Wentzville

Many local Christmas tree providers are taking COVID-19 precautions to make sure you and your family have a jolly holiday.

Wentzville, MO — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most quintessential holiday traditions in 2020, it should still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the right Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

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. And despite these unprecedented times, the tradition will continue this year. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to ensure shoppers can take home their ideal tree with minimal risk to their family's 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 wrote on its website this year.
