An immersive farm-based holiday outing at Erin Hill Acres—choose from thousands of Fraser Fir trees, ride a tractor wagon, meet farm animals, and settle by courtyard fire pits; this guide explains what to expect and how to plan your visit.
A Country Christmas at Erin Hill Acres: Tractor Rides, Fraser Firs and Fireside Evenings.
On a working farm an hour from the city, Erin Hill Acres unfolds like a small, lived-in Christmas village: open rows of Fraser Firs, tractor wagons cutting through snowy stands, a courtyard warmed by fire pits and wood-fired pizza, and a barn full of handmade gifts where three generations of families have come for over 40 years.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Four Decades of Holiday Rituals
Families and friends return year after year for the same rural pleasures: choosing a fresh-cut Fraser Fir from open display rows, watching staff give it a fresh cut and a shake, and wrapping it for easy transport—practices that have made the farm a multi-generational holiday destination.
Thousands of Fraser Firs, Including Mini Trees
Erin Hill Acres displays thousands of Fraser Firs sorted by size and colour tag so you can see a tree’s full shape before you buy; new for 2025 are compact Mini Christmas Trees (30"–36") sold with a stand—ideal for small spaces or gifts.
Live Music, Fire Pits and Wood-Fired Food
The Courtyard is the farm’s social centre—fire pits, live music on weekend days and Friday evenings, wood-fired pizzas and farm-made baked goods make for slow, convivial hours after tree hunting or during an evening visit under twinkling lights.

What the Visit Feels Like
