11 Spots for U-Cut and Pre-Cut Christmas Trees in Vancouver

Twinkling lights, sparkling decorations, and the smell of a fresh-cut Christmas tree – doesn’t get much more festive than that. While plenty of folks haul out the artificial tree from the attic, there’s just as many who love to go choose their own – from tall and thick, to the tiny Charlie Brown favourites. This year, many tree lots that were on hiatus due to covid last year have returned, and we’ve got a round-up of plenty of options for both u-cut and pre-cut Christmas trees in Vancouver and in every corner of the greater Vancouver region.

Make sure to check ahead for availability – some u-cut farms have already sold out.
