Every detail evokes nostalgia—from the scent of pine to the glow of bonfires and cocoa drifting through the air. The experience captures the essence of a classic Christmas outing: laughter echoing in the night, mittens holding candy canes, and smiles that last long after you leave the farm. With twinkling lights, music, and seasonal treats available, it’s an evening designed for togetherness and joy. Just 45 minutes from New York City, Hidden Pond Tree Farm brings small-town holiday magic to life in a way that feels timeless and true.
