Buying your Christmas tree early is one way to ensure a trouble-free festive season. It removes the pressure of last-minute shopping and allows you to focus on what matters most—spending quality time with your family. Here is our guide to the best time to buy your Balsam Hill artificial Christmas tree.
Shop Seasonal Sales: A Year-Round Guide
There are many chances throughout the year to score a great deal, especially when you know when the big sales are. To get huge discounts and avoid the Christmas rush, figure out when to shop early and bear these key sale events in mind.
January to February
It’s never too early to get a jump on next Christmas, especially if you’re in the market to replace a tree that’s seen one season too many. It’s common for many retailers to offer post-Christmas clearance sales in this period, slashing prices to clear old stock and make room for new products. You may be able to get prior-season styles at lower prices for a limited time.
March to May
Spring promotions can bring about reduced prices on artificial Christmas trees. Balsam Hill regularly holds Spring Black Friday sales, where trees are often offered on discount alongside spring decor.
June to August
Take advantage of Christmas in July promotions to bring home your new tree, with plenty of time to spare for planning this year’s theme. Retailers like Balsam Hill often beef up stock during this period, so you may be able to grab the specific tree style you’ve been eyeing at a deep discount.
September to October
As peak season looms around the corner, expect more sporadic sales and promos as pricing remains at a premium. However, keep an eye out for one-off sale events that could include your dream artificial Christmas tree.
November to early December
This is your last chance to avoid paying full price on your new tree. Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are often the sale events with the most massive price drops before Christmas comes along and it’s time for your tree to take centre stage.

Why Buy Your Christmas Tree Early?
Early Christmas tree shopping gives you more freedom to choose the tree you want at the price that works best for you along with some other benefits. You get to:
• Avoid the Christmas rush—no crowded shops or limited stock. You don’t have to worry about your tree getting delivered late due to the busy season, too. Purchasing your tree early can reduce a lot of Christmas stress.
• More Christmas prep time to figure out assembly, fluffing, and lighting ahead of the busy season. Securing your tree early allows you to spend more time and energy planning your decorating theme, and spending time with friends and family.
• Save on Christmas expenses by investing early before peak-season pricing kicks in. Why pay full price when you can shave a little extra off your purchase, when you get the timing just right?
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Christmas Trees Cheaper in October?
There may be ongoing pre-Christmas sales in October, so make sure to check the Balsam Hill website or sign up for email notifications. You can also wait for the Balsam Hill Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales in late November.
Do Christmas Trees Get Cheaper Closer to Christmas?
No. Due to high demand, prices for both artificial and real Christmas trees stay steady or even increase leading up to Christmas. Shop early to take advantage of discounts and sales and to enjoy a wider selection.
How Early Is Too Early To Buy a Christmas Tree?
It’s never too early to purchase an artificial Christmas tree, especially as sales can drive prices down at any point in the year. Meanwhile, for fresh trees, aim for late November, so you have 4–5 weeks to allow the scent of your Christmas tree to develop in your home at Christmas.
What Is the Best Date To Buy a Christmas Tree?
The ideal time to buy an artificial Christmas tree is typically during major sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when retailers like Balsam Hill offer significant discounts. Another good time is immediately after Christmas and into January when shops mark down Christmas items. Early autumn can also be a good time, as shops begin stocking Christmas decorations and offer early-season promotions.
