It's that time of year again! We've entered the holiday season and Christmas trees are becoming a focus once again. Many people have begun searching for the perfect Christmas tree to put in their homes and will continue all through December. However, many people may not know what to expect when shopping at a Christmas tree store. This is because they aren't available most of the year and only pop up seasonally. Let's take a closer look at what to expect whenever you shop at a Christmas tree store during the holidays.

Large Crowds and Busy Shopping

Did you know that there are around 25-30 million real Christmas trees that are sold during the holidays every year in the U.S. alone, according to the National Christmas Tree Association? This shows that real trees are still immensely popular for many families. If it's in your interest to avoid the rush of people that will come for their Christmas trees, you could invest in a reusable artificial tree! Using the same tree every year can help you save money, time, and energy during the precious holiday season.

Accessories and Decor to Pair With Your Tree

A Christmas tree store will also likely offer ornaments and other decor for you to purchase for your tree. Some of these may include:

• Candles
• Stars or angels to place atop the tree
• Tree skirts
• Ornaments
• Tinsel
• String lights

Each of these options offers you the opportunity to personalize your family Christmas tree while honoring tradition at the same time. Many families find great joy in Christmas shopping together and buying new decorations every year. Rather than buy everything online, make your holiday special by shopping in person. This way, you'll be able to see the items you want and take note of their size, color, luster, and quality before purchasing them.

Christmas tree shops may also offer you coffee, cookies, and hot cocoa to enjoy while you shop. If it's cold outside where you live, it may be nice to warm yourself up with a refreshing beverage. If you're looking for a quality store to bring your family to and buy Christmas decorations, you're in the right place. At North Pole City, we offer artificial trees, ornaments, lights, nutcrackers, and more! We look forward to seeing you in our Christmas tree store this season.
