The holiday season is here, and for many families that will mean choosing a Christmas tree.
While there will soon be tree lots in parking lots and on corners everywhere, we’re focusing on Christmas tree farms that offer a fun, seasonal excursion and are within an easy drive from metro Atlanta.
Many of these farms offer so much more than Christmas trees — including hayrides, hot cocoa, visits with Santa, petting zoos, or other fun experiences.
TIPS:
• Before you get in the car, be sure to call ahead or check the farm’s status and daily hours online.
• Shop early in the season for the best selection. The farms will close when they’re out of trees.
• If you’re visiting a farm for a special experience (Santa visit, hayride) please double-check and verify it’s happening that day — because things change.
Do you have a Christmas tree farm or large lot that you’d like to have featured at the top of our list?
It’s an affordable marketing option to consider. Just email ads@atlantaonthecheap.com
