While faux Christmas trees seem like they get more common each year, there's something special about decorating your home with the genuine article, especially if you cut it down yourself.
Fortunately, nine Christmas tree farms in the area are ready for you to come enjoy this beloved holiday tradition. We also confirmed that these have protocols in place to keep you safe and socially distanced while you're there.
If a road trip isn't in the cards for you, though, we've also included two San Antonio sellers where you can get a beautiful Christmas tree for your home.
Old Time Christmas Tree Farm
7632 Spring Cypress Road, Spring, (281) 370-9141, oldtimechristmastree.com
Over in Spring you’ll be able to choose and cut your very own tree at this adorable farm. With pine, cypress and Frasier trees to browse, it won’t be hard to select a tree everyone can agree on. This year, don't forget your mask — the farm is requiring face coverings for entry.

Brungot Farms — Cedar Park
204 E Little Elm Trail, Cedar Park, (512) 750-4378, brungotfarms.com
Though they usually have outposts in both Leander and Cedar Park, Brungot Farms has consolidated its operations to the YMCA in Cedar Park this year. Not only are they setting things up with social distancing in mind, but they've also expanded their delivery options to include porch drop-off. Plus, wreath purchases from Brungot help to support a good cause — now that's what we call holiday cheer.

Spring Creek Growers
23803 Decker Prairie Rosehl Road, Magnolia, (281) 259-8114, springcreekgrowers.com
A family-owned farm since 1921, Spring Creek Growers all about offering family-friendly fun. The Houston-area attraction offers both Virginia Pine and Leyland Cypress trees, so you’ll be able to take home a beautiful tree that’ll complete your holiday decor. This year you'll need to plan ahead — the farm is limiting daily admission in order to maintain social distancing, so buying tickets beforehand is a must. They're also offering curbside pickup for pre-cut trees, wreaths and garlands.

Evergreen Farms Christmas Trees
242 Monkey Road, Elgin, (512) 281-4833, evergreen-farms.com
Over in Bastrop County you’ll find this super rural Christmas tree farm. The family-owned farm lets Texans take a wagon ride out to where the trees are, where they’ll then be able to cut their own Texas-grown tree — or pick a precut tree if they’d like. If you’re a real tree nut, you’ll appreciate having the option to choose between five different types of trees. The farm requires masks in indoor spaces and has social distancing and sanitation protocols in place.

Seiler's Christmas Tree Farm
4100 Jakes Colony Road, Seguin, (830) 401-4590, seilerschristmastrees.com
Whlie lots of Christmas tree farms get patrons to and from the fields in communal hayrides, Seiler's business model was already compatible with social distancing — you grab a saw and a wagon and go get that tree yourself. Drive out to Seguin and you’ll be able to hit up this farm, which features trees as short as four feet and as towering as 10 feet. With trees priced at $6 a foot, you’ll be able to snag even a monstrous tree without breaking the bank.

For extra cash you can also score a beautiful wreath to add a bit more holiday spunk to your decorations.
