The 5 Shops with the Best Christmas Trees in Calgary for the Holidays 

Tree Quality: We checked out a few of these tree farms to assess the freshness, shape, and overall health of their trees.

Pricing: We asked for the prices of the trees they sell at each location we checked out. We then compared the prices, considering things like tree size, species, and other included services (e.g., tree shaking, netting, and loading assistance).

Customer Service: When possible, we ask staff questions about their trees to test out their friendliness and their knowledge of which trees are the best.

Sustainability: We asked about their tree harvesting methods, replanting initiatives, and if they had any environmental certifications.

Finding the perfect Christmas tree is not as easy as you think. You have to figure out which tree would go through your door and which one won’t die after a day or leave a nasty trail of pines everywhere.

If you’re thinking of doing Christmas tree shopping this holiday season, we don’t want you to be underprepared. 

We looked into the best places to get a Christmas tree in Calgary. Here are the ones we found worth checking out!

How much does it cost to get a Christmas tree in Calgary? 

It costs at least $40 to get a Christmas tree in Calgary. This price is just an estimate. The actual price will depend on the size of the tree, the kind, and where you buy it from. 

1. Christmas Treeland

Address: 5255 Richmond Rd SW

Christmas Treeland makes picking out a tree enjoyable. Several parents shared that the staff at Christmas Treeland made their kids feel like VIPs as they handpicked the tree of their choice.

We love that visitors get hot apple cider or delicious hot chocolate to quench their thirst while picking out a tree to go home with. Plus, the staff even take family pictures for their customers against their iconic red truck. 

We also like that the staff guide their customers through their selection of Douglas firs, Fraser pines, and “speciality” Quebec-grown trees (cultivated specifically for their lush, fragrant branches). 

When we came to visit, we noticed how they trim, wrap, and load the trees into the car with care. It’s no surprise that previous customers we talked to said their Christmas trees always ended up being the showstopping holiday centrepieces.

However, there have been a few complaints about the prices.  Some people complained they paid too much for a tree that shed needles relentlessly despite following care instructions.

Pros

  • Vast selection of trees
  • Offers hot cider and hot chocolate 
  • Excellent customer care 
  • Trimmed, wrapped, and loaded

Cons

  • High prices
  • Inconsistent quality in trees

Great selection, super friendly and helpful staff

“We come back every year! Great selection, super friendly and helpful staff, a fire to warm up beside and love the new red truck! They also make a huge contribution to the Calgary Food Bank every year!“

– Petra Kelly, Google Reviews 

Beautiful fresh full Christmas trees

“Beautiful fresh full Christmas trees at this lot.  Excellent knowledgeable service.  We picked up a beautiful Balsam Fir but they also had gorgeous Douglas Fir Christmas trees.  Please drop by and support this local business owner from our community.  Our home now smells like Christmas.”

– Dale Robertson, Google Reviews

Countryside Christmas Trees is for families who value reliability, warmth, and trees that outlast the season. 

Although the place is a bit hard to find at first, we think the effort is worth it after seeing the quality of the trees they offer. There were rows of Fraser Firs, Nova Scotia Balsam Firs, and Natural Balsam Firs in the shop—all in great condition.

The staff made the experience even better. They greeted us with smiles, even in the chill of winter. They were very patient in explaining the trees that they have and guiding us through the selection. 

Their Nova Scotia Balsam Fir trees stood out the most during our visit. We loved how full and symmetrical they were. Plus, they have this woodsy aroma that kind of feels luxurious.

When we talked to customers, many shared that their trees held their needles well into January. That’s really impressive considering the dry indoor heat that comes after the holidays.

We also think, for the most part, that their trees are affordable. Plus, we like how their staff takes care to load the tree on your car or arrange delivery if need be.

Pros

  • Long-lasting trees
  • 3 kinds of trees available
  • Affordable prices
  • Great customer service

Cons

  • Place is hard to find 

Always had the best customer service

”They have always had the best customer service. My family has been going to them for several years and we have always had the best experience! Seeing them each year has always been apart of our family tradition. Always reasonable prices with quality trees that have lasted well into January.”

– Taylor Raessler, Google Reviews

Contact Details: +14035199074

Operating Hours: 

  • Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 3 PM 
  • Saturdays – Appointment Only 

Website

Stewart Tree Farms has been around for over 20 years, and we think they’ve really mastered the art of growing and installing trees that don’t just survive but thrive. 

Their speciality lies in their climate-adapted varieties—deciduous and coniferous trees bred to withstand Canada’s extremes.

That’s why their Christmas tree selection is filled with highly durable trees. Many actually stood proud for months, according to the families we talked to. 

Apart from the quality of their trees, we also love that they have trees of all sizes. Anything from baby Christmas trees to six-foot trees are available.’

We also appreciate that they offer different delivery options. Thye offer flat deck trailer delivery, semi-truck delivery, and even machine installation for larger trees. This makes it easier for customers to take home the trees that they want.

The delivery is prompt and done neatly too. Customers we talked to said the trees arrived in great shape, without a branch out of place.

The only downside is that their delivery calendar fills up fast. 

Pros

  • 20+ years of tree handling experience
  • Climate-adapted trees
  • High-quality trees
  • Wide size range
  • 3 kinds of tree delivery 
  • Prompt and safe delivery

Cons

  • Delivery calendar fills up fast

Helped us make a good decision

”Chandler gave us great advice to buy a tree that will grow well and thrive in the Calgary climate. Her vast knowledge of trees helped us make a good decision. I highly recommend Stewart Tree Farms.”

– Leona Derkson, Google Reviews 

The quality of the trees are great 

Great experience overall, I sent an email inquiring about purchasing some spruce trees., Chandler got back to me very quickly and set a up a time to meet at their location. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic and ended up arriving 5 minutes before closing, regardless of the time she showed me around and spent the time to answer all the questions I had. From initial contact to picking up the trees, all went very smoothly. The quality of the trees are great and pricing was very reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

Operating Hours: 

  • Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 9 PM 
  • Saturday – 10 AM to 9 PM 

Website

Christmas Trees To Your Door does precisely what their name says. We like how customers don’t have to pay a single cent for delivery. Customers even get the option to recycle their tree in January!

Sure, some families do wish Christmas Trees to Your Door offered the traditional tree-picking experience, but we like the convenience that they offer.

Ordering is a breeze. All customers have to do is browse their online store, choose their preferred fit, fill in their info, and place their order.

When it comes to the tree selection, Christmas Trees to Your Door specialises in two varieties: Fraser fir and Balsam fir. 

We recommend their Fraser fir trees if you want that classic Christmas tree scent in your home. If you want a sweeter, woodsy scent, go for the Balsam fir. 

We also appreciate the care that goes into their trees. Each one is meticulously pruned for that picture-perfect Christmas tree shape. Customers raved that their trees arrived flawless—no gaps and no wonky branches.

Pros

  • Free delivery 
  • Recycling service
  • Simple online ordering
  • 2 kinds of Christmas trees
  • Meticulously pruned trees

Cons

  • No on-site tree farm 

He had the perfect tree delivered

“I always get the tree at Christmas. It’s mostly because it makes my mum happy (makes me happy too cmon). I’ve cut down my own, picked up from the tree lot. This is the first year I’ve had one delivered. Dylan was completely sold out! So I emailed him. I get an email back quickly saying they’re going to get some more trees.  He had the perfect tree delivered within two days. Like a perfect tree. The base was already square for the stand. With the delivery the fee is on point without the hassle. The most appreciated experience was they really had great communication and customer service. The website is really straightforward and informative with the selection. I’m telling everyone about this guy.”

– Steve Crawford, Google Reviews 

I got a premium tree and it’s so full and luscious

“I’ve never purchased a real tree before, but now I’ll never go back! Dylan was very professional and flexible with delivering the tree. I got a premium tree and it’s so full and luscious! I will definitely be using his services for next year!”

– Tabitha Enns, Google Reviews 

5. Calgary Christmas Tree

calgary-christmas-tree-logo

Address: 755 Lake Bonavista Dr SE

Operating Hours: Sunday – 11 AM to 2 PM

Calgary Christmas Trees is at the Lake Bonavista Promenade site. From what we’ve heard, they have perfected the art of matching families with their ideal Christmas tree. 

We love how friendly their staff is. We appreciated how they guided us through rows of options, patiently answering our questions about needle retention and trunk straightness. 

Whether their customers are first-time buyers or seasoned tree hunters, the team makes sure everyon finds a tree that fits their space and style.

That’s probably why several families told us that for years, they’ve returned to this lot for healthy, strong trees. 

One family shared that they came by here and picked up a 6-foot Fraser fir, with full, lush branches and a fresh pine scent. They liked that the sturdy branches held everything from their heirloom glass baubles to chunky knit stockings without a droop. 

The only thing we aren’t too crazy about is that they don’t offer a lot of assistance with tree delivery. This is an issue for some who don’t have access to a truck that can take a tree home.

Pros

  • Great customer service
  • Personalized experience
  • Healthy and strong trees 

Cons

  • Limited delivery assistance

We got the most beautiful tree

“We have been buying out trees here the last 3 years. We always end up with a Beautiful tree!, this year we got the most beautiful tree we had ever gotten. Here is a picture of the tree once we had decorated it”

– Jason Wilson, Google Reviews 

They picked out the perfect 7.5 foot tree for us

“A lovely couple (I assume the owners) delivered our GORGEOUS tree last night right to our door. They were so kind and easy to work with, not to mention punctual. They picked out the perfect 7.5 foot tree for us and it came to our house clean and green. It smells amazing and is already brightening up our home for Christmas. Highly recommend this place!”

– Jane H, Google Reviews
