Warm Holiday Memories on Cold Winter Days

In today’s fast and furious holiday rush, it’s all too easy to lose sight of the spirit of the season.  Family and tradition can be drowned out by the constant cacophony of gaudy advertisements screaming for a share of your holiday shopping budget. 

Don’t let your holidays be hijacked!  Give your family the gift of a treasured holiday memory this season with a trip upstate to cut your very own Christmas tree at one of our quaint Hudson Valley Christmas tree farms!

Step away from the crowds this year and step into a winter wonderland.  Harvesting your own natural Christmas tree hearkens back to a simpler age, and it can be a wonderful holiday experience your whole family will enjoy. 

Nearby Bells Christmas Tree Farm offers visitors the opportunity to select the perfect tree from more than 10 exciting varieties of every shape and size.  Armed with a saw and a sled, you’ll stroll through acres of scenic farmland while enjoying real “quality time” with your loved ones. 

Bells specializes in making warm memories on cold days, and they offer a number of holiday activities and treats along the way.  Be sure to enjoy some hot chocolate and apple cider while warming up in the rustic country gift-shop!  Featuring local honey, maple syrup and unique handmade gifts, you’ll find something for everyone on your list while helping to support New York agriculture.

Once you've found the perfect Christmas tree, the cutting process is fun and easy.  Simply saw parallel to the ground, and then load the tree onto the sled!  You don't have to worry about environmental impact: just like fruits and vegetables, these trees are a managed crop and each year hundreds of new trees are planted to replace the harvest.

There’s really something special about cutting your very own Christmas tree, and your family will cherish the memory of your day at the farm.  This is how holiday traditions begin- by stepping away from the crowd, and spending time with one another.

Just 90 miles over the river and through the woods from NYC, Bells Christmas Tree Farm is just minutes from the Hudson Valley Resort & Spa.  With clean and comfortable accommodations starting as low as $89 a night, you’ll feel a world away without breaking the bank.  Just call or click today, and we’ll help you make the most of your stay!
