If you are celebrating Christmas in Chicago this year and googled “Christmas tree farm near me” you are in the right place. There are many Christmas tree farms in the Chicago area to cut your own Christmas tree. You can also visit a Christmas tree farm to purchase a pre-cut tree.
Please note that it is too soon to know 2026 dates for Christmas tree farms but you can see dates from 2025 below to get an approximate range of timing.
Christmas Tree Farms in the Chicago Area
Even though the weather is getting colder, there are still plenty of fun to be had outdoors this November and December including ice skating, looking at holiday light displays, and visiting a Christmas tree farm to choose and cut your own Christmas tree (or enjoy the ambiance and buy a fresh pre-cut tree if you prefer).
Most Christmas farms open on Thanksgiving Day or the Friday after Thanksgiving but a few open the weekend before. I recommend visiting early in the season for the best selection.
Below is a list of all the Christmas tree farms in and near Chicago (listed in order of distance from downtown Chicago). I have included all the information you need to plan your visit, including addresses, dates and times, prices and more. Note: Make sure to check the farm’s website for any updates.
