Going out and finding a Christmas tree that is just right for your home is a tradition that brings such festiveness and cheer to the holidays. Finding a beautiful tree with family and friends builds fun memories and often has us thinking that the Christmas magic somehow guides us to the perfect tree. “That’s the one,”; we exclaim as we proudly take hold of the trunk and branches, smelling the sweet pine we know will soon be filling our homes.

Here are 5 places to find the perfect holiday tree.


Nichols Christmas Trees

163 Dartmouth College Hwy, Lyme, NH 03768

At Nichols Christmas Trees and Wreaths, you can find the perfect tree for Christmas as well as some beautiful handmade Christmas wreaths, centerpieces, and many other decorations. They are a family business lasting four generations. During the year, they produce maple syrups and care for their gorgeous Christmas trees. They begin selling the Christmas trees the day after Thanksgiving between the hours of 9 am to 4:30 pm.  A great place to go, especially if you need maple syrup too!


You can walk through their tree field to select a beautiful Christmas tree for your home and cut it down yourself! Or you can choose from the freshly cut trees such as a Balsam Fir, White Spruce, and Fraser Fir to take home. Saws to cut your tree and twine to bind them are provided. The prices range from $20 to upwards of $75, depending on the size of the tree. They also have a couple of retail locations open for your convenience. One is in West Lebanon at the Colonial Plaza next to Seven Barrel Brewery. Another is located at the Hanover Street Plaza next to Gnomon Copy off exit 18 from Highway 89.
