There are not as many places/street corners that sell Christmas trees like they used to; they used…read moreto be all over. That being said, I googled places in Philadelphia that sold trees and came upon The Christmas Tree Stand as an option. It was 1 of 3 options listed without having to drive around searching or driving too far. The space where they are on Front street is a small space compared to other tree selling places I've been to in the past. However, they had a nice selection. My only concern was that their prices were considerably high compared to what I am used to. I have never paid $150 plus tax for an 8' tree. And I have been buying them for years to compliment our tall ceilings. I asked about delivery and that was an addl $199. Wow! So I took my tree with me. As I was too lazy to drive to another part of town 30 minutes away to see if they had just as good or better trees for a lesser price, I went ahead and purchased a tree. She is really beautiful, but overly priced for what I am used to from other places that are just as good. There was only one person working and he was really kind and helpful. So, they do have good customer service. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning there next year unless I can't find what I want elsewhere.

They are really careful about cleaning up any messes and unwrap the tree and put water in the stand, too. The cost might be a little higher than going to Acme and getting a tree, but the value of the time saved makes it more than worthwhile. Hit the "easy button" this year and order a tree from TCTS!

The staff is really friendly and there is plenty of parking in the garden area. They always have a nice selection of trees. This year with Covid, everyone wore masks and did a great job keeping everyone socially distanced while waiting for the trees, paying, loading the trees on the car etc. They really have the logistics down to a science here and the staff is always friendly! Most years there is a small table set up for cookies and hot cocoa, apple cider but it's understandable that they didn't do it this year. Our kids always have such great fun picking out our tree. The trees last several months and look great. If you want to pick out your trees but don't want to leave the city, this is a great option for city dwellers! I highly recommend Philly Christmas trees. There are several locations but our go to spot is in Fairmount!

They also had ample, nearby parking. Unfortunately, the prices are nearly double what you will pay at other local lots. The cheapest tree I saw was almost exactly my height (I'm not even 5'6"), very thinned out, and it was $85. That's a lot for a glorified Charlie Brown tree. Instead, we went down to South Philly and got a fuller tree, about a foot taller, for $50. If you are stuck shopping for a tree in CC, this might be your best bet, but be aware you are paying for the convenience. If you're a budget shopper, there are better options.

Set around Philadelphia city hall and one of the city's traditional holiday events it is worth a…read morevisit. Nestled side by side with the 'Christmas Village' market the Made in Philly has many small stalls selling candles, clothes, ornaments, food drink both hard and soft, and is a great place to shop for the season. While the 'the Christmas Village is more international and mass produced. Made in Philly is, as the name implies more local business and more artesian. If you're looking for that holiday something that screams local pride, this is it! Besides being smaller than the Christmas village the Made in Philly market is a little more relaxed. There are more areas to sit down and let your mind wander and abutting the Rothman ice rink you're not just limited to shopping and dining. I would recommend going during the day and going early in the season as the site gets busier in the evenings as commutes stop off and on the weekends. You may also find stocks not dwindling as the season rolls on as these are produced locally. Afterall it's easier to get a shipment in from Fishtown than something going to the Christmas Village from Dresden or Stockholm! Also they do not seem to have the problems with a uniform form of payment that is a both in the Christmas village. The one real downside here is the limited selection. While smaller than the Xmas Village there is also a sameness to some of the stalls, there's only so much you can do with scented candles.

Overall a fun holiday market with the standard things you'd expect (candles, bath/lotion items,…read morejewelery). A little bit crowded when I went the Friday before xmas. A good number of visitors not masking. I highly recommend using the portapotties outside rather than the bathrooms inside, as the portapotties were surprisingly very clean and had no line, while the indoor bathroom had a long line of 50% unmasked individuals and some stalls had no toilet paper. Loud music may make this less than ideal for people with babies.

A kind team associate directed me to the center just before groceries for shampoo, lotion, etc. I then needed some paper goods where "Charles" was so kind and helpful while stocking items. The store set up has changed in the back but a team member was always within sight for assistance. Many things are of great value. But 4 dish towels for $10 and $20 batteries were not in the budget. Oh, you may want to take your cart for a spin before loading items because my cart grew a personality of its own. I was moving my cart like the Red Bull Sales Rep. Turning the corner like a wide load because the wheels did not have coffee. "I was struggling with the cart along with 3 other customers I encountered. Ms Annette at checkout is a gem as always! Productively good shopping run minus the dysfunctional cart.

That being said, I've come in here a few times now, to find some board games and puzzles, another time to find some towels, and another time for some gift exchange gifts, and haven't had too much issue getting in and out with what I need. I go through self-checkout and don't really engage with staff to find what I need-- tends to be self-explanatory when you follow the signs around and they have the kiosks where you can search in-store now too. For immediate purchases, probably the best place at the best price point to look for things in the city. But if you have some time and the means, best to head to NJ for somewhere that's more pleasant to shop at.
