By Suzanne Dyer | Strand Hill | Forbes Global Properties

Living in Palos Verdes during the holiday season feels like stepping into a postcard. From festive lights twinkling above the cliffs to neighborhood streets lined with glowing décor, our coastal communities embrace the holidays with a warmth that feels uniquely small-town despite being just miles from Los Angeles. And at the heart of every joyful South Bay holiday season is the beloved tradition of selecting the perfect Christmas tree.

Whether you prefer a classic Noble Fir that fills the room with that unmistakable evergreen fragrance, a modern pre-lit option, a petite tabletop tree, or a grand 12-foot showpiece that suits the scale of a large estate home, Palos Verdes residents have more great options nearby than ever. This guide brings you all the best places to buy Christmas trees in and around Palos Verdes, including long-time community favorites, charitable lots, garden centers, and convenient big-box options.

Before we dive in, here is a quick look at a few of the wonderful holiday tree options around town:

🌟 Why Palos Verdes Residents Love the Christmas Tree Tradition

One of the joys of living on the Peninsula is the sense of community that surrounds the holidays. Many families here have been going to the same tree lot for years, some pick out two trees (a large one for the main living area and a smaller one for a child’s bedroom), and others love the convenience of having a premium tree delivered straight to their front door.

Whether your holiday season includes casual entertaining, formal Christmas Eve dinners, festive charity events, or simply cozy evenings by the fireplace, the Christmas tree becomes the focal point of the home. I've toured and sold thousands of homes throughout Palos Verdes, and no matter the style, modern, ranch, Spanish, coastal, contemporary, or mid-century, a beautifully selected tree brings warmth, life, and tradition to any space.

This guide is designed to help you find the perfect tree source for your lifestyle, budget, schedule, and holiday vision.

What makes Mr. Jingles special:
