14 Places For Cheap Christmas Trees In Western New York

Thanksgiving was just last week, and already it feels like we're running out of time to get your Christmas tree before it's here and gone. If you're looking for a place to get a tree that won't eat up your entire budget, we've got some suggestions for you.

The Cost of Christmas Trees in 2025

You may have noticed that trees just aren't as affordable as they used to be. My wife is always blaming me for remembering how much things used to cost decades ago, and comparing them to what they cost now. I feel old when I say it, but I remember when almost every tree you bought was like $5 per foot. You could get a 5-6 foot tree for around $25 or $30 and still have money left over to go out and get some lunch when you were done.

It's just not like that anymore. Trees have gotten quite a bit more expensive. If you Google the average price of a real, 6-foot tree in New York, you'll find that they're normally between $65 and well over $135. It can be a tough pill to swallow when you've also got gifts to buy, dinners to make, and all of the other expenses that come along with the holidays.

Real Christmas Trees Vs. Fake Ones

There are plenty of people who just go the fake tree route. As a matter of fact, more people get fake trees these days than real ones.

In my mind, though, there's just nothing better than a real tree. It's all about the experience of picking it out as a family, tying it to the car, the smells, and the little imperfections of a real tree. A manufactured tree out of a box just doesn't compare.

Even the cheapest real tree is better than a fake tree in our house. So if affordable is what you're looking for, we have some suggestions. We asked you where the cheapest trees in Western New York could be found, and these were the places you suggested we try out.
