Tennessee’s climate has made it an ideal place for Christmas tree farms to offer the long-standing tradition of having a real tree. When the air is feeling particularly crisp and the holiday spirit rushes in, round up the family and head to the farm—because it’s just not Christmas without a real tree. Here are the best Christmas tree farms in the state!
If you’re looking for the total Christmas tree farm experience (heavy focus on the “farm” part), you’ll need to heave to Country Cove. Their meticulously crafted farm provides an authentic experience, from scenery and decor to family-focused service. You can also grab some complimentary hot beverages to warm up after your time in the field. They’ll even shake out and load up your freshly cut tree for you!

The name says it all—Santa is a mainstay at this tree farm, and he’ll be watching to see if you’re naughty or nice! Guests can enjoy free popcorn, cocoa, and coffee as they begin their search for the tree of their dreams.
Though more widely known as a pumpkin patch in the fall, their Christmas tree farm isn’t to be overlooked. For just $50 for any size, families can begin their tree shopping tradition by cutting their own Leyland cypress, scotch pine, or Virginia pine.
