At Double Creek Farm, take a hayride to the fields to find a Christmas tree, grab a saw and measuring stick (provided), then cut down your very own tree. Visitors can select from Virginia pines and Carolina sapphires. There will also be precut firs, spruces, and pines from Michigan available for purchase. Perhaps the best (and funniest) offering is the unique Charlie Brown trees, which are pre-priced in the field. Prices increase by the foot, with the five-foot trees starting at $45. Once you cut and tag your tree, you’ll place it on the hayride trailer, have it measured and shaken, and then baled for purchase at the gift shop. Handmade wreaths are also available.

Holiday Acres has been a family affair since 1999, when it was founded by couple Rocky and Leigh Ann Smith. Today, their 35-acre farm boasts some of the biggest Virginia pines in Brazoria County. Aside from picking the Christmas tree best fit for your home, you can also book a professional photographer at the farm to create a lasting memory for your family Christmas card. There is no admission fee, and if you purchase a tree, there are complimentary hayrides. Fresh Fraser fir wreaths await at the barn.

Sprawled across 40 acres, Old Time Christmas Tree Farm carries pine and cypress trees that you can cut yourself, as well as precut firs and spruces the Prause family grows themselves. You can round out your holiday decor by purchasing fresh wreaths and garlands while the kids wander the petting zoo. You’ll need to plan accordingly, though—if you want photos with Santa, he’ll be taking trips from the North Pole on the weekends for photo ops.

This choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm is off the beaten path, about 15 miles north of Bryan.

A tractor ride will take you out into the fields, where you can shop around the massive acreage for just the right size, shape, and color of your Christmas tree.
