Christmas in the Tar Heel State is unlike anywhere else on the East Coast. A lot of that has to do with the large number of Christmas tree farms. Nothing puts you in the holiday spirit more than visiting a tree farm, picking out a tree to adorn your living room, and then bringing it home for the entire family to decorate. One tree farm, in particular, takes the business of choosing a tree a step further with their magical elf village that’s a perfect outing for making lasting family memories of the holidays. Check it out below.
Tom Sawyer Tree Farm has been growing Fraser Firs for 30 years.
