Is a real Christmas tree is on your wish list this year? Here's a selection of great local farms within driving distance of Muskego.

Muskego, WI — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it might still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family this year — and even more importantly, 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. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic to ensure buyers can select their ideal tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a 2020 guide containing 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. Special signage and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged.
