Costco Real Christmas Tree 2019

It’s that time of the year where the Costco real Christmas trees come around. Most stores will have them by Black Friday, and they won’t last all that long. What’s great about the live Christmas trees is they are a tremendous value, usually ranging from $32 to $60 for an 8ft tree. The price differences relate to the type of Christmas tree being offered in that location as well as how far the fresh cut Christmas trees had to be trucked in. Not all Costco locations offer Christmas trees, so we’ve attempted to compile a list of all the known Costco locations with real Christmas trees.

All Costco locations offer fake Christmas trees that are beautiful, but not all offer the real Christmas trees in 2019. Normally there will be a large trailer parked near the building that is full of trees. They’re fully wrapped up, which means you cannot see what they’re going to look like before you buy them. The good news is that they’re great trees and you can’t really go wrong. If for some reason you get a bad one you can always return it to Costco, but please don’t be one of those people who returns a dead tree after Christmas. Oftentimes you’ll pay for the tree inside and then bring your receipt out to the truck to pick it up.
