Did You Know: Where to Get Your Christmas Tree in Nigeria

Planning for Christmas is as much fun as it is a hassle. It is a race against time because the closer it gets to Christmas, the more expensive everything related to it becomes. One of the best parts of Christmas is putting up the Christmas decorations. From tinsels and wreaths to colourful lights and trees, the decor choice is varied. If you want a ‘Hollywood Christmas feel’ in your home, a Christmas tree is the right way to go. But where ever can you find one? We’ve compiled a list of places you will get Christmas trees to suit your budget this season. Such as:

1. Online

Start with Google. Search with keywords like Christmas tree Nigeria, you are bound to see many options. Nigeria has online e-commerce sites that can deliver Christmas trees to you if you order online. We’re talking about sites like Jumia, Konga, U-buy and Jiji. You can see different options that come with free lights and ornaments. The price range is from N10,000 – N54,000 and above, depending on the height or type of tree you desire. The beauty of online purchasing of trees is you get to sample comparative prices before making a choice. That way, what is available in one store does not limit you.

2. Markets

This time of the year, large-scale supermarkets will put up their stock of Christmas items. You can get artificial Christmas trees in places such as Phil Hallmark in Benin City, Next Cash and Carry in or Jabi Mall in Abuja, Grand Supermarket in Owerri, and even One Center Superstore in Festac or The City Mall in Onikan, Lagos State. Even Local Markets and most shopping districts in the country will have stores with Christmas trees for sale. Check out places like Idumota Market and Ojota Market in Lagos, Laushi Market in Bauchi state, or any local market in your city.  

3.      Dealers/Suppliers

There are people who are specialized in sales and rentals of Christmas trees this season. Places like Eloquent Touch Displays, Party Supplies & More, or New World in Ikeja, Lagos are worth checking out if you need a tree. There are dealers of Christmas items in every city, locate the one nearest to you and you will get access to a Christmas tree.

4. Nature

Last but not least is mother nature. Firs, Pine, and Spruce trees, which are the globally preferred brand for Christmas trees, grow naturally in nature. The Araucaria Columnaris is a pine look like that is more common in Nigeria. Some Nigerians even plant the Araucaria trees around their houses early on during the year and then decorate them as Christmas trees during December. If you are fortunate to get them in the wild or in your neighbourhood, you can cut them down and use them in your home for the season. But remember real plants shed and die out before the month ends if transplanted into a soil-less environment. That’s why people prefer artificial trees for Christmas.

Remember, the beauty of a Christmas tree lies in the richness of the decorations we adorn it with. Trees aren’t only useful for Pre-Christmas and Christmas day. They are also very important afterwards. So don’t hold back from putting gifts under the tree for Boxing Day.
