Lower Mainland Christmas Trees for Sale
This December why not get into the Christmas spirit of giving and purchase a tree at a location that supports local charitable causes? Check out our list below for the best places to buy Christmas trees where proceeds go to worthy charities.
Most non-profit organizations have their Christmas tree sales during the last weekend of November and the first couple of weekends in December. Sometimes they are open for longer periods, and sometimes for shorter ones. Places generally remain open for business until they sell out (which often means by the middle of December if not earlier).
Organizations that usually sell Christmas trees in the Lower Mainland as part of their fundraising efforts include local Lions Clubs, Aunt Leah’s, and Scout groups.
Lions Clubs Tree Lots
Lions Clubs around the Lower Mainland host annual Christmas tree sales to raise funds for community programs and local charities. Below are the 2025 details for some of Metro Vancouver’s most popular Lions Club tree lots.
Lynn Valley Lions Club (North Vancouver)
Christmas tree sales return to Lynn Valley Lions Club on November 28th, 2025, beginning at 4:00 pm. The lot is located at 3690 Park Road in North Vancouver and is open daily from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm until the trees sell out.
This long-running fundraiser supports local schools, community groups and neighbourhood initiatives. Families can also enjoy a walk through Lynn Canyon Park before or after selecting their tree, which has become a favourite seasonal tradition for many North Shore residents.
Note: The Lynn Valley Lions also operate a tree-chipping fundraiser in the days following Christmas. Dates for this season’s chipping weekend are to be confirmed. Click Vancouver Tree Chipping Locations for information.

Tips & Advice
Below are some tips, suggestions and additional information to help you with your Christmas tree-shopping endeavours.
Tree Farms and Charities
TIP #1: Buy your Christmas tree from a charity if you can. The money goes to a worthwhile cause (and giving is an important part of Christmas).
TIP #2: Yes, you can usually buy cheaper Christmas trees at supermarkets and big-box stores. If you want to do this, instead of buying from a non-profit fundraising event or local farm, consider donating the money you save to a charitable cause. You can even get a tax receipt for your generosity.
Selection, Supply and What to Look For
TIP #1: Looking for a tree that won’t lose its leaves for a long time? Frasers and Nobles are the best trees as they last the longest. They are also some of the prettiest trees, the most labor-intensive to grow, and the most expensive. If you plan to set up your Christmas tree in late November or the beginning of December and want it to still look good on December 25th and beyond, consider paying the small extra fee and opting for a Noble or Fraser.
TIP #2: Tall trees have been in short supply all across the Lower Mainland in recent years. If you want a tall tree, and you see one, buy it right away! If you wait a while in the hopes of finding another one you might end up being disappointed.
TIP #3: The selection of trees at different venues changes over time, as not all trees arrive at the beginning and in the same initial delivery. If you don’t see the tree you want on the first weekend, there won’t necessarily be fewer selections the following weekend (although that can be the case towards the very end of the tree-selling season).
Environmental Things to Consider
TIP #1: According to organizations like the Sierra Club of BC, you need to use the same artificial tree up to 20 years or more to be more environmentally responsible than using a real tree every year. So real trees can be the more earth-friendly option than fake trees (but only if they are disposed of responsibly at the end of each season).
TIP #2: The best way of disposing of a real Christmas tree is to have it turned into mulch (like at a Tree Chipping Event that charities sometimes do at the end of the holiday season). One of the worst things to do is to just drop it off at the dump.
TIP #3: The most environmentally-friendly real trees are those that are grown locally. Those imported from far away have a significantly higher carbon footprint due to their transportation requirements. Trees that haven’t been sprayed with pesticides are also obviously preferable (both for you and the environment).
TIP #4: Real trees look better, smell better and, in most cases, are much better for the environment than artificial trees (which can contain toxic substances). If you buy one that is grown locally, you also get a tree with a lower environmental footprint, and more of your dollars remain in the local community.
TIP #5: Ask the tree seller where their trees come from. Most are grown in BC, Washington or Oregon.
TIP #6: Before bringing the tree into your house, give it a good shake to remove any bugs. There probably won’t be any, but very occasionally there are. Some people even give their trees a bit of a vacuuming.
