Fresh Christmas Trees And Where To Find Them In Singapore (2021)

Nothing says ‘Christmas is here’ like a fully decked-out fresh Christmas tree. 

It may be warm, sunny and absolutely humid in Singapore, but did you know that you could get your hands on a real Christmas tree to celebrate the merry season with? 

We aren’t referring to the reusable, hyper realistic artificial ones that come out of a box, but ones that have actual pine and lace the air with an unmistakable, almost comforting scent of Christmas. Ask anyone who has brought a fresh Christmas tree home, and they will vouch for the fact that no matter the brand of candle, air freshener or reed diffuser, its scent doesn’t come close to the fragrance a fresh Christmas tree emanates. 

So, whether it's noble fir, fraser fir or nordmann fir, if you’re thinking about bringing a little Christmas spirit into your home this year, here’s where you can find fresh Christmas trees in sunny Singapore.

Why you should buy a Christmas tree from IKEA: Cheapest fresh Christmas tree in Singapore. 

The cheapest fresh Christmas tree on this list (and, we dare say, Singapore) are available in 1.6m and 2m at IKEA, priced at S$59 and S$79 respectively. The only downside is that they do not offer delivery for fresh Christmas trees, so you’ll have to boogie down to one of their stores to personally pick them up. And since you’ve found yourself at IKEA, you might as well deck out your tree with some baubles, ribbons, garlands and, lest we forget, the star of the night, a shiny Christmas tree topper from their Christmas 2021 collection. 

Sing See Soon

• Affordable prices

Not all fresh Christmas trees are ‘built’ the same. The fraser fir that you find at Sing See Soon may be slightly less lush as compared to noble fir, but they are known for being extremely resilient and their ability to retain their needles longer. This means that they last longer in our climate and make a great choice for first-time owners. 

Pro-tip: If you’re contemplating a fresh Christmas tree from Sing See Soon, you might want to get them quick as a few of their sizes have already sold out (we’re unsure if a restock is planned).

But, if you go a little closer, you’ll realise that nordmann fir give off a light fragrance, are dark green with a glossy upper-surface, and a contrasting silvery underside. Noble fir, on the other hand, give off a stronger fragrance and has needles that are blue-green on top and silvery-white underside.

3 Ways to prolong the life of your fresh Christmas tree

1. Just like fresh flowers, fresh Christmas trees love their cool. Place it at a shady area away from direct heat sources like the fridge, sunlight and radiators to prolong their life. 

Pro-tip: If you’ve decorated your fresh Christmas tree with lights, remember to turn them off for the night. When left on for extended periods of time, these seemingly harmless lights become a heat source. 

2. Did you know that a fresh Christmas tree can ‘drink’ up to 3.8 liters of water a day? Check your tree holder every day or two to ensure that the waterline never goes below the base of the trunk and keep it filled with iced water. 

3. With all that water in your tree holder, you’ll also want to prevent mosquito breeding. You can do this by adding mosquito repelling granules (available at all nurseries) or a quick-fix would be to use cooking oil to create a water barrier.
