It’s the most wonderful time of the year and while we scratch items off our holiday bucket list and check out all the the most dazzling lights, there’s nothing quite like a freshly-cut Christmas tree and the scent of pine to help get you into the Christmas spirit. To help you get into full holiday mode, we’ve mapped out some of the best places and options of where to find your perfect Christmas tree this year!
1. Jack’s Christmas Trees
If you’re looking for some fresh Fraser firs transported from North Carolina, then Jack’s Christmas Trees is the perfect stop. Once you pick out the tree you see fit, they’ll give the trunk a fresh cut to help absorb water and wrap it in netting to secure the branches for the ride home. They usually carry 6′ to 11′ trees, but can have trees as high as 13′ and 14′! Jack’s Christmas Trees is open daily, including holidays, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Where: Dade County Fair & Expo Center, 2000 SW 107 Ave Miami, FL 33165 (entrance is the gate off of SW 107th Ave)
2. Santa’s Garden
With locations all across the city, from Kendall to Little Havana, this family-owned business has been serving the community for more than 30 years. Their tents open every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and they also sell fireworks for New Years as well as pumpkins for Halloween. If you can’t make it in person to pick up your tree, don’t fret! You can still buy one on their website where you can have it delivered and installed. And if you prefer to add some color to your tree, you can make it pink, blue, white or red!
