What would the holiday shopping season be without picking (or chopping down) a festive fir from the tree lot and waking up to that fresh coniferous forest scent? On top of gift hunting and grocery restocking, buying a real, live Christmas tree online is yet another task you can merrily check off your to-do list.
With the climate crisis increasingly top of mind season after season, the debate continues on whether real trees are more sustainable than artificial ones. The assumption is that chopping down trees is always bad for the environment, but that’s not always the case, per the New York Times. Farm-grown Christmas trees help keep the air clean and provide a habitat for wildlife over its decade-long life (they’re also naturally biodegradable), while fake plastic trees can also be eco-friendly as they’re reused over many years (the issue is how to properly recycle them). BBC’s Science Focus points out that a live potted tree that can be reused or replanted may be the most ideal option for environmentalists who want to keep their holiday tradition alive.

If you can’t take home a tree atop your car’s roof (perhaps you don’t have a vehicle at all) or are too busy dashing through the snow, there’s no need to sweat. We’ve rounded up the best places to buy real Christmas trees online, plus some artificial options if you’re looking for a reusable evergreen.
Whether you’re seeking a tabletop fir, a short and stout spruce or a towering Douglas fir plucked right out of the scenes of Elf or A Christmas Story, read on for the best online stores for buying Christmas trees both real and faux.
