It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year — and nothing says holiday magic quite like the smell of a fresh-cut Christmas tree filling your home. Whether you’re a family that loves to make a day of it, cutting down your own tree while sipping hot cider, or you prefer a quick pop-in and pick-up, Westchester County has plenty of festive options for every style and schedule.
Here are a few of our favorite local spots to find the perfect tree — each offering its own unique charm and experience.
Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm (Yorktown Heights)
1335 White Hill Rd, Yorktown Heights, NY | IG: @wilkensfarm
If you’re after the classic holiday experience, Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm should be at the top of your list. This family-owned farm has been part of Westchester holiday traditions for generations. Visitors can cut their own Douglas or Fraser fir, grab a hot cup of apple cider, and stroll through their gift shop filled with homemade pies, wreaths, and ornaments.
Pro tip: Go early in the season — Wilkens is that popular, and trees can sell out quickly. Don’t forget to check out their famous apple cider doughnuts before heading home.
Westchester Greenhouses & Farm (Hartsdale)
332 W Hartsdale Ave, Hartsdale, NY | IG: @westchestergreenhousesandfarm
Conveniently located for Scarsdale, Hartsdale, and White Plains residents, Westchester Greenhouses & Farm is a one-stop shop for all things festive. Their trees come pre-cut and ready to go, and they’re also stocked with fresh wreaths, garlands, poinsettias, and plenty of holiday décor to dress up your home.
If you’re short on time (or patience for cold weather), this is the perfect spot to get in, pick your tree, and get home to decorating — all in one quick trip.
Egan Acres Tree Farm (Yonkers)
945 Nepperhan Ave, Yonkers, NY
For a no-fuss, family-friendly experience, Egan Acres Tree Farm delivers every year. They’re known for friendly service, high-quality trees, and full-service wrapping and loading — so you don’t have to lift a finger.
It’s a great option if you’re in southern Westchester or Bronxville and want a reliable, local spot without the long lines or long drive.
Danny’s Christmas Trees & Wreaths (Eastchester)
Corner of Mill Rd & White Plains Rd, Eastchester, NY
Danny’s is one of those charming pop-up lots that locals look forward to every year. The vibe is casual, festive, and full of neighborhood spirit. You’ll find fresh trees, wreaths, and garlands — and Danny himself is known for helping customers find “the one” without upselling or fuss.
Perfect for anyone looking to grab a beautiful tree on the fly and still support a local small business.
How to Pick the Perfect Christmas Tree
Whether you’re shopping local or cutting your own, here are a few tips to help your tree stay fresh and beautiful all season long:
-
Go for green. The needles should look shiny and flexible, not dull or brittle. Give the tree a gentle shake — only a few needles should fall.
-
Measure before you go. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and come home with a tree that barely fits your ceiling.
-
Check the base. You’ll want a straight trunk and enough room to fit securely in your stand.
-
Water daily. Once your tree is up, keep the base filled with fresh water to prevent drying out.
-
Keep it cool. Avoid placing your tree too close to fireplaces or heating vents, which can shorten its life.

Once your tree is up and twinkling, Westchester has plenty of other festive things to do this season. From ice skating at Kensico Dam Plaza to hot cocoa dates at Hastings-on-Hudson cafés, there’s no shortage of small-town holiday charm.
You can even turn your tree-hunting day into a full outing — grab brunch in Scarsdale, stop by Bronxville for gift shopping, or end the day with a drive through one of the neighborhood light displays.
