There's something extra special about real, natural Christmas trees, and luckily for us, there are some great places to find them near Sioux City and Siouxland! Here are all of the Christmas tree farms I found within about 2 hours of Sioux City.
The Christmas tree farmers I spoke to in writing this post were super nice, festive people who are genuinely excited about helping families make the season special. So I encourage you to reach out to them if the details you're looking for aren't listed here.
