Big John's Christmas trees at The Works
Big John's Christmas Trees and The Works on the upper westside have teamed up to offer an indoor Christmas tree lot. Paul Milliken spent Wednesday morning checking it out.
ATLANTA, Ga. - Who says you have to be freezing cold while picking out your Christmas tree?
Big John’s Christmas Trees and The Works on the Upper Westside (1295 Chattahoochee Avenue) are teaming up for an indoor Christmas tree shopping experience set to open to the public today. The space is scheduled to stay open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily through December 23rd, giving shoppers plenty of time to stop by and choose the perfect tree for their home.
The Works is one of six locations this year for Big John’s Christmas Trees, a family-owned business that’s been an Atlanta holiday tradition for more than seven decades. It all began in 1949, when "Big John" Livaditis linked up with a Christmas tree grower to sell trees at the Zesto Drive-In on Peachtree Road across from Brookwood Station. Today, Big John’s family continues to carry on the legacy of offering the best firs and pines harvested from North American farms.

The Works talks about holiday festivities
Paul Milliken visits The Works on the upper westside to talk about their partnership with Big John's Christmas Trees and other holiday programming for the 2025 season.
Along with the trees, the shopping experience at The Works also includes a holiday-themed lounge space designed by Ballard Designs and will host regular pop-up beer and wine tastings. And, of course, The Works itself is celebrating the holidays with a long list of activities for families, including photos with Santa, a gift-wrapping workshop on December 7th, and an ugly sweater-themed party on December 13th.
