Despite the pandemic causing many businesses to lose money, one business says it's been thriving by selling Christmas trees.

Tree sales are surging in the Hudson Valley, and retailers say it's early in the season.

Amodio's Garden Center Nursery and Flower Shop says many families are making the switch to real trees this year to add to the holiday cheer.

The business says that picking out a Christmas tree is a coronavirus-safe activity, considering it's outdoors and everyone is wearing masks.
