Despite unseasonal warmth, many families in eastern Ontario are embracing the holiday spirit by purchasing Christmas trees well in advance of the big day. Cedar Hill Christmas Tree Farm in Pakenham is already seeing a steady stream of customers looking for the perfect evergreen.
Kim Moore and her family cutting down a Christmas tree at Cedar Hill Christmas Tree Farm in Pakenham , Ont. on Nov. 23, 2024. It may not look like Christmas time outside in eastern Ontario, but many households are getting in the spirit and buying their Christmas trees with a little over a month to go before the big day.
"It was hot, which the trees need of course. They're a living plant, they require photosynthesis. But we had a ton of rain," she said.Martin says prices have risen, but those looking to pick out a tree or cut down their own won't have sticker shock. Kim Moore and her family spent Saturday picking out and cutting down their tree, remarking on the un-Christmas-like weather so far.
Martin says they will be selling trees right up until 2 p.m. on Dec. 24, although waiting that long may leave you with a Charlie Brown tree.
