Christmas tree farms in Illinois, 2026
3 of the 5 Illinois Christmas tree farms we list have posted 2026 season dates; the first opens Nov 21 (Conifera Tree Farm, Harvard). All 5 are choose and cut.
Each farm shows the date we last checked its source (between October 9, 2026 and October 23, 2026). Farms are listed by opening date, then by name. We do not rank farms, and no farm pays to be listed or placed.
Dates, hours and prices come from each farm's own website or the official listing named with it and can change, and some sites still show last season's details. Check with the farm before you go. How we check

What does a Christmas tree cost at Illinois farms?
3 of the 5 farms post a price. Each is shown in the farm's own terms. Only a price the farm marks for 2026 counts as this year's; older prices say so, and some pages give no year at all. We do not average them, because farms price by the foot, by the tree or by type.
- Ben's Christmas Tree Farm (Harvard): 2026 season page: firs and spruces from $98 ($15 per foot, 6.5 ft minimum); pines from $52 ($8 per foot, 6.5 ft minimum)
- Camelot Christmas Tree Farm (DeKalb): All choose-and-cut and pre-cut trees $80 (the farm's page does not say which year)
- Anderson Tree Farm (Plainfield): Cut-your-own trees $15 per foot, shaking and baling included; pre-cut Fraser fir $100 to $225 (the farm's page does not say which year)

Also in Illinois: 5 Christmas markets and 4 light displays, checked the same way.
More Christmas tree farms by state in the Midwest: Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Wisconsin.
We list a farm only when its own site (or, labeled, a state association, agriculture-department or tourism listing) confirms it; a farm gets a page of its own once it has posted 2026 dates, and a farm still waiting on dates gets one only in a state with at least 3 dated farms; until then its full details sit on this page.
