8 Best Christmas Tree Storage Bags

How To Choose a Christmas Tree Storage Bag

Taking down your Christmas tree marks the end of the holiday season and the beginning of a new year. The right Christmas tree storage bag helps keep your artificial tree looking good and free of dust, mildew, rodents and other pests while saving space.

“Selecting storage for your artificial Christmas tree starts with where you are going to store the tree,” says Michele Vig, founder and chief organizer of Neat Little Nest.

“For trees that are pre-lit, you’ll want to protect the tree from the elements. If you are going to be storing your tree outside and it might have a chance to get wet, you’ll want to select a storage bag that is waterproof to protect the electrical.”

When shopping, here are some important features to look for:

Size

Measure the tree to make sure it will fit properly.

Material

Look for durable, tear-resistant and water-resistant or waterproof fabrics.

Portability

Strong handles, reinforced straps and wheels make moving the tree around easier.

Style

Options include duffle-style, totes, uprights or air-tight tubs with lids. “Finding a home for your artificial tree before you buy the storage container is also important because you’ll know if you need a bag or bin that lies on its side or stands up,” Vig says.

Space-efficiency

Consider verticals, stackables or combo sets (tree plus lights, wreaths, skirts, stand, etc.).

Cost

Most Christmas tree storage bags are affordable, ranging from $10 to $30. For heavy-duty or extra-large bags, expect to pay between $100 to $250 depending on quality and features.
