We may not get a White Christmas here in Florida during the holiday season, but picking out a fresh Christmas tree together is a beloved holiday tradition that many families look forward to each year.
Whether you’re picking a real tree from a lot or chopping it down yourself from a Christmas tree farm, you can choose from an array of varieties, grown locally or fresh cut and brought in from up North.
Here’s a look at a few popular Christmas Tree Farms and lots throughout Central Florida:
