Why Buy Your Christmas Tree Early?

Buying your Christmas tree early gives you more freedom to choose the style and size you want at the price that suits you best. It also saves time and takes the stress out of worrying about late deliveries. Here are the key benefits of shopping during the off-season:

Avoid the Christmas rush. Skip the crowds and limited stocks by shopping early. Buying online lets you browse options and check out from the comfort of your own home.
Enjoy more prep time. Get a head start on assembling, fluffing, and lighting your tree before the busy season begins, so all that’s left is the fun part — decorating.
Save on festive expenses. Investing in your tree ahead of time often means better deals and lower prices than during peak season, helping you stay within budget while preparing for Christmas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Christmas Trees Cheaper in October?

There are often pre-Christmas sales in October, so it’s worth checking the Balsam Hill website or subscribing to our emails for updates. You can also wait for Balsam Hill’s Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales in November for great savings.

Do Christmas Trees Get Cheaper Closer to Christmas?

No. With demand increasing, prices for both Christmas and real trees usually stay the same or even rise as Christmas approaches. Shop early to take advantage of sales and enjoy a wider selection.

How Long Before Christmas Should I Buy a Real Christmas Tree?

To get the best choice of fresh trees, buy in early December or on the first weekend of the month, when new stock is most plentiful. If you’re after a bargain, consider mid-December, but note that selection may be limited.

What is the Best Time to Buy a Christmas Tree?

The best time to buy a Christmas tree is during major sale events like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, when Balsam Hill offers significant discounts. You can also find great deals just after Christmas and into January, when stores mark down stock to prepare for the next season. Early spring and mid-year sales such as Christmas in July are also excellent times to shop.
