Cut or Pick Your Own Christmas Trees & More in Litchfield Hills
Exactly when does that joyful holiday spirit really kick in? That’s easy – when you bring home the Christmas Tree! So why not make a memorable day of it by visiting a local tree farm and cutting your own? Find out which species provide the perfect color, branch strength, needle retention, and aroma for your home. Each farm adds its own special touches – like cider and hot chocolate, hayrides, and visits from Santa. So, bundle up, grab the kids and Rex (on a leash) and rev up the holidays at a Connecticut Christmas Tree Farm. Since some farms run out of trees and/or close early for the season, check before you head out.
