17 Best Types of Christmas Trees for Your Home This Holiday Season
From fragrance to size, here's how to find the right one for you. 🎄
Of all the Christmas traditions, there's nothing quite as magical as visiting a Christmas tree farm. On those chilly afternoons, you walk between fragrant rows of luscious pine, fir, or spruce trees. And then there it is, the one that calls to you—the one you can just see in your living room wrapped in your favorite Christmas tree ribbons, adorned with ornaments, and finished off with a tree skirt and pretty tree topper. Some might even argue picking the tree is better than decorating!
If you're like Ree Drummond and need to have the real deal each year, then you'll want to browse the different types of Christmas trees to see which works best in your home. For Ree, that's an impressive 12-foot full-bodied Noble fir. "Part of the beauty of a Christmas tree is the amazing scent that fills your house," she says. If fragrance is a top consideration for you too, you might also want to check out a Balsam Fir or White Fir, which we've noted ahead!
There's a perfect tree out there for everyone, whether you're looking for one that's low-maintenance, great for small spaces, or is simply pretty. Traditionalists will probably prefer the classic White pine or popular Douglas fir, while those who want something a little outside of the box might enjoy the Leyland cypress. Anyone who hangs cherished DIY Christmas ornaments each year should explore the White spruce with its short, stiff needles that can withstand heavy ornaments and garlands. Of course, there are always artificial Christmas trees to shop—we've included one that looks so real maybe The Pioneer Woman herself wouldn't mind.
