Every holiday season, a host of rugged, strapping men — some from exotic, far-off lands — take to the streets of New York.

Ostensibly, they’re here to sell trees. But they’re not above flirting for tips as they haul your Fraser fir up five flights of stairs.

“I’m a naturally flirty person,” says Adam French, 32, who sells evergreens on the East Side.

“The businesswomen here are sexy!” he observes. “They’re very independent — and more fun to mess around with, because they’re a little more uptight. I do my best to loosen them up.”

Forget Rockefeller Center. These guys are the real seasonal attraction in New York.
