The holiday season is on the way, and for many families, that means it will soon be the time to find the perfect Christmas tree.

Below is a list of Christmas tree farms and lots in and around Charlotte that can help you find the tree you’ll take home this year. There are several farms where you can choose and cut your own tree. If you want a Fraser Fir, you won’t be able to cut one yourself if you’re very close to Charlotte, but many farms and lots sell them pre-cut from the mountains.

Make sure to follow the links to verify all information and to look for changes. And scroll down for a big list of holiday events.
